Engineering Lead, Core Experience Engineering Full Time (Remote)

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

Founded in 2017, Anchorage Digital is a regulated crypto platform that provides institutions with integrated financial services and infrastructure solutions. With the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, Anchorage Digital offers institutions an unparalleled combination of secure custody, regulatory compliance, product breadth, and client service. We’re looking to diversify our team with people who are humble, creative, and eager to learn.

We are a remote friendly, global team, but provide the option of working in-office in New York City, Sioux Falls, Porto, Lisbon, and Singapore. For our colleagues not located near our beautiful offices, we encourage and sponsor quarterly in-person collaboration days to work together and further deepen our Village.

The mission of an Engineering Leader is to grow and foster excellence in an engineering organization. As a key member of our engineering leadership team, you are expected to hire for growth, create an environment of high ownership and work with leadership to continuously improve our organization.

People make this organization and as an Engineering Leader, it is your mission to cultivate and contribute to Anchorage’s culture, coach and mentor our engineering team members.

As an Engineering Leader, you will refine our roadmap, drive operational excellence, create technology strategy and use your influence to facilitate judgment and critical thinking to decision making in your organization.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Lead a team of Managers and seasoned Engineers and take responsibility for their quality of execution, timeliness of delivery, impact and personal and professional growth.
• Be a mentor and advisor, providing coaching and feedback which levels up all of those on your team.

Organizational Knowledge:

• Take ownership over the quality of execution, timeliness of delivery, processes, impact and personal and professional growth for a single team.
• Work closely with Product Managers to define investment in our products, ensuring harmony between our product plans, the bandwidth of the team, the realities of the technical landscape and your plans for the growth and structure of the team.

Communication and Influence:

• Focus on and prioritize the health, happiness, personal/professional progression of every member on your team.
• Work with other engineering managers, product management, people/recruiting, and the rest of engineering to drive team growth, retention, and hiring moving forward.
• Have a material influence on not only what Anchorage builds, but who builds it, taking ownership for the growth planning, recruiting and performance management of a team of Engineers.

You may be a fit for this role, if you have:

• Have demonstrated experience managing, mentoring, and growing a geographically distributed team.
• Have real world experience building complex distributed systems. We mostly use Go, however languages can be learned. We really care about your engineering and leadership skills more than any specific language or framework.
• Enjoy building services from scratch and supporting them over a meaningful period of time.
• Experience in building Platforms that go both from 0 to 1 and 1 to 2.0.
• Genuinely care about code quality and test infrastructure.
• Prioritize end-user experience and business value over “cool tech.”
• Self describe as some combination of the following: creative, humble, ambitious, detail oriented, hard working, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action oriented, and tenacious.

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• You have experience with applied cryptography.
• In your mind the word “crypto” stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency.
• You read blockchain protocol white papers for fun, and stay up to date with the proliferation of Cryptoasset innovations.
• You have a background in the finance industry.
