At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

Anchorage Digital is a crypto platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets through custody, staking, trading, governance, settlement, and the industry's leading security infrastructure. Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.

The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital has offices in New York, New York; Porto, Portugal; Singapore; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Core Experience builds foundations that other teams can use, but we also use those foundations ourselves by having a vertical integration into the system. Being part of our team means you can improve any part of our system, and you have impact across every team.

You will work with the Engineering Manager, Product Manager and the rest of the engineering team to plan, build, release and maintain high quality software. You will be the primary driver of the system architecture, technical direction and team member’s technical skill development. At Anchorage Digital, we believe the product is never "done," we can always do better! When you join Anchorage, we expect you to drive our products forward by developing novel solutions for our institutional clients. As a team, we are constantly striving to innovate in order to build the future of cryptocurrency and the digital asset ecosystem.

We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Tech Lead role:

Create and maintain shared services and libraries that are used across our entire services.

Review code across the engineering organization while actively participating in product development.

Find simple solutions to complex software problems.

Efficiently implement high quality code (functional, performant, clear, concise and well tested).

Production support. Participate in the on-call rotation and troubleshoot, mitigate and learn from production incidents to reduce their incidence.

Drive down technical complexity, refactor existing systems safely. Leave the codebase better than you found it.

Lead large, strategic, ambiguous and complex projects that can be broken down into smaller achievable pieces.

Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice).

Foster an efficient deterministic testing culture, with an emphasis on conrolling tech debt.

Articulate effectively different options considered in projects, analyzing trade-offs and recommending priorities.
