## About the role

Nu is building crypto products that give customers real financial access — moving assets, interacting with blockchain networks, and managing digital assets safely and simply. As a Staff Software Engineer on our crypto product team, you will combine deep understanding of blockchain protocols with strong product instincts to decide what we build, how it works technically, and how it should feel for the customer.

## What they're looking for

- A track record of Staff-level impact building customer-facing products or platforms, ideally with meaningful technical depth in a specific domain
- Deep experience with distributed systems at scale, including transaction processing, eventual consistency, failure handling, high availability, and production operations
- Demonstrated ability to translate technical understanding of protocols or infrastructure into product decisions and customer-facing features
- Production ownership of regulated or high-stakes financial movement, blockchain integrations, or adjacent money-moving infrastructure
- Experience designing security-sensitive systems using threat modeling, explicit trust boundaries, defensive architecture, and rigorous review processes
- Comfort partnering with product and business stakeholders as a peer in shaping what gets built, not just how
