About The Position

Zero Hash is looking for an experienced Senior Engineering Manager with a passion for digital assets and blockchain products to lead the development of our AUTH product. We’re looking for a true technologist with a love of programming and a drive for technical excellence. We believe that the best managers are technologists first with a product mindset who seek to make a larger impact in their organizations. What is Auth ZH integrates with other exchange APIs to do actions on behalf of our customers. A lot of APIs are not public, so this person will need to work directly with the exchanges on APIs that we can integrate to. Our goal is to get to 100s of connections and each connection would be maintained by a different partner org with its own engineering team. This EM would be responsible for a lot of the back and forth required to align on an API that is able to adhere to our AUTH product. Some of these partner orgs will probably have to develop custom for us. Note this is a fully remote role, but the ideal candidate will be based in New York.

Requirements

10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with significant focus on building and maintaining robust APIs and SDKs for B2B integration.
5+ years of engineering management experience, including managing staff and principal level engineers
BS or MS degree in Computer Science or Engineering OR equivalent years of work experience.
You've managed teams that have delivered great products
Golang expertise, familiar with Go’s idiomatic approach and niches.
Familiarity with TypeScript and React for frontend services.
Understanding of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, including major protocols (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), on-chain transaction flows, and common crypto security practices (key management, wallet types).
Technical Domain Expertise (Crypto, Fintech, and API/SDK)
Proven experience integrating with third-party financial services or crypto exchanges/brokerages via REST, WebSockets, or other proprietary APIs.
Strong knowledge of financial compliance and security standards related to digital assets and money movement (e.g., KYC/AML implications for transfers, data privacy, custody practices).
Expertise in designing and operating large-scale, distributed systems that handle sensitive financial data and high transaction volumes with sub-second latency and high reliability.
Experience in driving technical strategy and architectural decisions for complex, highly-available, and high-throughput systems
Client-Facing & Cross-Functional Skills
Exceptional client-facing communication and presentation skills with a proven ability to represent the engineering team to external partners, customers, and executive stakeholders.
Demonstrated experience collaborating directly with external engineering teams to guide them through complex SDK/API integrations, troubleshoot connection issues, and gather technical feedback.
Ability to translate complex technical concepts (like API architecture, security protocols, and crypto idiosyncrasies) into clear, concise language for both technical and non-technical audiences (e.g., Sales, Product, Legal, and external partners).
Experience partnering closely with Product Management to define product requirements, influence technical roadmaps, and make trade-offs between speed, quality, and technical debt.
