About The Role

Smart wallets sit at the center of Crossmint's product. They hold and move stablecoins for our clients. They are also the base layer for the agentic-payments products we are building.

As Engineering Lead for Wallets, you will own the technical roadmap and strategy for that infrastructure across EVM, Solana, and Stellar. You will lead a team of 6 engineers, set the standards they ship against, and keep writing production code yourself.

You will also connect the wallet stack to the business side. You will work with Product, GTM, and CSE to turn client requirements into roadmap priorities. You will represent the team in architecture reviews and technical calls with partners.

Responsibilities

Serving as Engineering Lead for the Wallets team, owning the full technical roadmap and strategy for Crossmint's programmable smart-wallet infrastructure across EVM, Solana, and Stellar blockchains.
Driving end-to-end architectural design and delivery of on-chain wallet primitives including smart-contract signers, recovery signers, delegated signer scopes/permissions, gas sponsorship, wallet creation billing, device signers, and multi-chain transaction orchestration via Temporal distributed workflows.
Leading the technical direction for wallet products serving enterprise clients, as well as agentic-payments customers integrating Crossmint's wallet stack.
Coordinating directly with the GTM, CSE, and Product teams to align wallet roadmap priorities with commercial requirements, including defining differentiation positioning around on-chain programmability, no-vendor-lock-in architecture, and enterprise-grade stablecoin product integration.
Establishing and enforcing engineering best practices for the team: code quality standards, PR review guidelines, AI-assisted development workflows using Devin, structured sprint planning, retro action items, and technical documentation.
Setting up and maintaining observability infrastructure including Datadog dashboards for endpoint success rates, latency, and transaction throughput across all wallet-related services.
Managing a team of 6 direct reports across seniority levels (2 senior contractors, 2 senior engineers, 2 mid-level engineers), overseeing onboarding, performance coaching, and technical mentoring.
Representing the wallets team in cross-functional planning, product status updates, architectural reviews, and external vendor/partner technical calls.
Actively contributing production code: designing and merging complex PRs spanning wallet signer authorization, EVM UserOperation bundler flows, Solana fee estimation, Stellar V2 smart contract infrastructure, card-collateral topup workflows, and SDK bug fixes across web and mobile (React Native, Expo, Kotlin, Flutter).

Designing and deploying monitoring, observability, and fault-tolerant solutions using Datadog and Temporal to ensure system resilience and high throughput at scale.
Leading and mentoring engineering teams including conducting technical interviews, defining best-practice standards, and driving code quality through structured review processes.
