Location: United States of America Workplace: Remote Veda provides the vault infrastructure that enables institutions, protocols, and applications to offer onchain yield products. Our technology supports billions in assets across multiple blockchain networks, with partners including Kraken, EtherFi, and MetaMask. We’re hiring a Customer Engineering Lead to own the customer experience end to end: understanding what customers need, designing a path forward, translating requirements into engineering work, and driving delivery through launch and ongoing operations. You’ll combine strong DeFi fundamentals, practical software engineering skills, and exceptional communication. Customers should trust you to understand their business and technical constraints. Engineers should trust you to bring clear requirements, informed judgment, and well-scoped work. THE ROLE You will be the primary owner of customer engagements, from technical discovery and onboarding through production launch and ongoing success. You’ll lead customer conversations, investigate issues directly, organize the work required across Veda, and stay accountable until the customer’s needs are met. This is a hands-on role with responsibility for building the customer engineering function. You’ll work closely with engineering, product, and growth to make customer delivery more predictable and turn recurring work into repeatable processes. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own customer relationships and communication. Build trust with technical and business stakeholders, lead regular conversations, communicate progress proactively, and address concerns before they escalate. Make sure customers know what is happening, what decisions are needed, and what comes next. - Lead technical discovery and solution design. Understand each customer’s goals, architecture, and operational constraints. Map those requirements to Veda’s capabilities, explain tradeoffs, and identify gaps that require product or engineering decisions. - Translate requests into actionable engineering work. Produce clear specifications and tickets covering expected behavior, technical context, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and open questions. Resolve ambiguity before it creates unnecessary implementation work. - Drive delivery from intake through acceptance. Establish owners and milestones with engineering, coordinate dependencies, surface risks early, and validate that delivered functionality meets the customer’s requirements. - Investigate technical issues directly. Inspect onchain transactions, contract state, API responses, and logs. Reproduce problems, build small scripts or integration examples, and bring engineering a useful diagnosis when deeper investigation is needed. - Standardize vault launches and operations. Own the customer delivery process, including intake requirements, configuration decisions, launch checklists, documentation, and operational handoffs. Identify recurring friction and work with engineering to eliminate it. - Own ongoing customer success. Stay close to adoption, satisfaction, and changing requirements after launch. Coordinate customer communication during incidents and follow through on resolution and corrective actions. - Use AI to improve execution. Apply AI tools to research, debugging, specification development, documentation, and workflow automation. Verify outputs and remain accountable for technical accuracy and customer commitments. YOU HAVE - A track record of owning complex customer engagements in a technical role, such as customer engineering, solutions engineering, integration engineering, forward deployed engineering, or technical consulting. - Strong DeFi and Web3 fundamentals. You understand smart contracts, wallets, token approvals, vaults, lending, liquidity, and deposit and withdrawal mechanics, including their operational risks and tradeoffs. - Hands-on experience with block explorers and blockchain tooling. You can inspect transactions and events, read contract interfaces and relevant Solidity code, and reason about permissions and the movement of assets. - Practical software engineering skills. You can work with APIs and SDKs, read an unfamiliar codebase, write scripts in a language such as Python or TypeScript, and investigate issues across onchain and offchain systems. - Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can lead a technical discussion with customer engineers, explain a tradeoff to a business stakeholder, and write a specification that an engineering team can act on. - Strong execution and organizational judgment. You can turn an ambiguous request into a concrete plan, manage competing priorities, and drive work across teams through completion. - The confidence to set realistic expectations, challenge assumptions constructively, and distinguish confirmed facts from questions that still need investigation. - Experience using AI tools in real workflows, with the technical judgment to evaluate and correct their output. EVEN BETTER IF YOU HAVE - Built or supported DeFi vaults, institutional crypto integrations, or products involving lending, staking, or cross-chain infrastructure. - Worked directly with exchanges, wallets, asset managers, or other enterprise crypto customers. - Created implementation playbooks, intake systems, or automation that improved delivery across multiple customers. - Shipped production software or smart contracts and supported them after launch. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE Customers have a technically credible partner who understands their needs and follows through. Engineering receives clear, validated requirements. Launches become more predictable, recurring issues become less frequent, and customer feedback informs product decisions. You’ll help define how Veda works with its customers as we grow, with substantial ownership over both individual engagements and the systems that make great delivery repeatable. COMPENSATION Competitive salary and equity, with compensation reflecting experience, technical depth, and the scope of responsibility.

Location: United States; Canada Workplace: Remote Veda builds vault infrastructure for DeFi at scale. We manage billions total value locked across 15+ blockchain networks, powering yield strategies for partners including Kraken, Etherfi, and Plasma. Our protocol turns complex multi-chain DeFi positions into simple vault interfaces that institutional and retail users can actually trust. We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to be a key design partner in our next-generation platform infrastructure. You’ll own the systems architecture that sits behind billions in assets, event indexing, data pipelines, risk engines, multi-chain orchestration, the infrastructure that has to be right because real money depends on it. You won’t be handed a spec. You’ll look at what we have, understand where we’re going, and figure out what needs to be built, rebuilt, or thrown away. Then you’ll build it. THE ROLE You’ll work with the team to evolve our production infrastructure from its current state into a platform that can scale with our growth. This means: - Designing and building the services that power our vault infrastructure, event indexing across 15+ chains, data platforms for risk calculation engines, real-time position tracking, and the orchestration layer that ties it all together. - Owning the cloud architecture end to end. We run on AWS. You’ll make decisions about how our services are deployed, how they scale, how they fail gracefully, and how we maintain them without hero culture. - Building data pipelines that are fast, correct, and auditable. Our vaults execute complex DeFi strategies across multiple protocols, Aave, Morpho, Uniswap, and more. The data infrastructure needs to keep pace with on-chain state across every network we operate on. - Making our systems observable and operable. Monitoring, alerting, runbooks, oncall-friendly architecture. You’ll help us move from “one person knows how this works” to “anyone on the team can diagnose this at 3am.” - Working across the boundary between on-chain and off-chain. Vault state lives on-chain. Risk calculations, indexing, caching, and API serving happen off-chain. You’ll design where that boundary sits and how data flows across it. - Communicating clearly about technical decisions. Writing design docs that the team can actually follow. Explaining tradeoffs to non-engineers. Turning ambiguity into shared understanding. This matters as much as the code. YOU HAVE - Deep cloud architecture chops. Significant experience with AWS in production at scale. - You’ve designed and operated systems where uptime matters, not “we should have five nines” slide decks, but actual production systems handling real load with real consequences when they break. - Strong systems engineering fundamentals. You’ve built event-driven architectures, data pipelines, caching layers, and API services that handle high throughput. You know the difference between a system that works in a demo and one that works during a bull market. - IaC fluency. Terraform, CI/CD, containerization, Infrastructure as Code. You believe infrastructure should be reproducible, version-controlled, and reviewable. - Excellent communication skills. You can write clear design documents, explain architectural decisions to teammates with different backgrounds, and have productive disagreements about technical direction. You make the people around you better by making complex things understandable. - You’ve seen production at scale. You’ve lived through systems that scaled past their original design. You know what breaks first, what compromises are temporary, and what shortcuts become permanent regret. - Strong opinions, loosely held. You’ve formed strong views through experience and you’re willing to defend them, but you change your mind when presented with better information. You care about getting it right, not about being right. EVEN BETTER IF - You have experience with blockchain data, indexing events, tracking on-chain state, dealing with reorgs, multi-chain consistency. Not required, but it’ll shorten your ramp significantly. - You’ve worked in DeFi or crypto infrastructure. You understand what a vault is, how yield strategies compose, and why TVL matters. - You have experience with Rust or Python in data-intensive contexts, we have systems in both. - You’ve built or operated multi-tenant platforms where different clients share infrastructure with isolation guarantees. WHAT YOU’LL WALK INTO We’re a 35-person team that’s raised $18M at Series A. The infrastructure works, it’s running in production handling billions in TVL, but it was built for the company we were, not the company we’re becoming. We’re transitioning from founder-dependent operations to scalable engineering practices. You’ll be a key part of making that real. Current stack includes AWS, Python, Rust, microservices architecture, and smart contracts across 15+ EVM and non-EVM chains. We’re actively investing in Infrastructure as Code, containerization, CI/CD, and proper oncall rotations. COMPENSATION Competitive base salary plus equity. We’re a Series A company heading toward Series B — early enough that your equity is meaningful, late enough that the business is real. We’re not building a prototype. We’re running production infrastructure that manages billions of dollars across dozens of blockchain networks for some of the biggest names in crypto. We need someone who knows how to make that kind of system reliable, scalable, and operable — and who can bring the rest of the team along while doing it.
