Nice to Have

~1 min read
  • Experience working with venture-backed companies and investor-related legal processes
  • Familiarity with legal considerations in digital assets, blockchain, or decentralized systems
  • Background in regulated financial services or exposure to financial regulatory frameworks
  • Experience with complex financial instruments, collateral arrangements, or insolvency-related considerations

We are building shared financial infrastructure that enables businesses to create and operate their own branded digital currencies. Our platform allows builders to customize key attributes such as branding, transfer logic, compliance frameworks, and incentive mechanisms.

By leveraging this infrastructure, businesses can unlock new revenue streams from digital currency use cases while retaining control over their financial stack—without taking on the complexity of issuance and ongoing operations.

We are seeking an experienced and highly capable corporate lawyer to play a critical role in our next phase of growth. This is not just a legal execution role—you will act as a strategic partner to the business, helping design and scale the legal foundations of a complex, fast-evolving company.
