About the role
Nu is building crypto products that give millions of customers real, secure financial access — moving assets, interacting with blockchain networks, and managing digital assets safely and simply.

What they're looking for
- Deep, hands-on technical expertise in blockchain and crypto systems — protocols, on-chain data, custody, signing/key management, wallets, asset movement, or smart contracts
- A sustained record of Staff+ level technical leadership with impact spanning multiple teams or domains
- Demonstrated ability to translate deep protocol/technical understanding into customer-facing product decisions and business outcomes, not just architecture
- Experience leading highly complex, ambiguous, security-critical initiatives requiring both technical depth and cross-functional judgment
- Ability to reason about business models, product strategy, and market positioning alongside technical tradeoffs
- Ability to influence engineering leaders, product leaders, security, risk, and compliance stakeholders without formal authority
