Engineering Manager, Platform (Privy)

<h2 id="about-privy">Who we are</h2> <h3>About Privy</h3> <p>Our mission is to make privacy and user ownership the default online. To do so, we build simple, flexible APIs and tools for developers that make it easy to build new products on crypto rails.</p> <p>Privy owns the abstractions and infrastructure layer above wallets, integrating across chains, third-party providers, and Stripe products like Treasury and Link. We get to solve hard technical problems while leveraging Stripe's distribution to reach customers like Ramp, Klarna, Deel, Kraken, Hyperliquid, and Fomo — powering experiences for both mainstream users and crypto natives.</p> <h3>About the team</h3> <p>Engineering at Privy is distinguished by:</p> <ul> <li>High urgency: Shipping very small iterations, very fast, to learn very quickly.&nbsp;</li> <li>Product taste: Our customers <em>are</em> developers, and to build effective products for them requires technical knowledge - you will often be "the PM".</li> <li>Security mindset: A great portion of our product is trust. While we have a dedicated security team, every engineer brings security to their designs from the start.</li> </ul> <p>In practice, we use&nbsp;<a href="https://mcfunley.com/choose-boring-technology">boring technology</a> like Node, React, and AWS so we can focus our engineering energy entirely on pushing the boundaries of Privy's core product, e.g. through hardware enclaves, multi-region low latency APIs, and blockchain abstractions that are accessible to mainstream developers.</p> <h2 id="what-youll-do">What you’ll do</h2> <p>You’ll lead Privy’s Wallet Platform team, a product-minded platform group building the primitives and developer-facing surfaces behind Privy’s wallet product that helps our users transact more than $18B monthly.</p> <p>The team works on everything ranging from deep wallet infrastructure like AWS Nitro Enclaves, to developer APIs, webhooks, and secure transaction submission. You’ll balance new capabilities with targeted reliability and scale work, setting technical direction while keeping the team close to the developer and customer experience.</p> <p>This is a hands-on, TLM-shaped engineering management role. You’ll grow a small team, stay close to architecture and execution, and help Privy make sound platform investments as the product scales.</p> <ul> <li>Set the technical direction for the platform capabilities that underpin Privy’s wallet product.</li> <li>Drive four nines uptime and own the reliability, performance, usability, and evolution of Privy’s wallet system</li> <li>Work directly with Product, Security, and other engineering teams to define durable interfaces and turn platform needs into clea
