Who You Are:

The Member of Technical Staff, Forward Deployed Lead is the de facto CEO of their pod within Galaxy Edge - a small, senior team focused on one client engagement or one innovation bet. In this role, you will own product direction, technical standards, client relationships, and account growth, working alongside a dedicated Delivery Lead who handles timelines and execution. You will rotate between our two verticals - Forward Deployed Product & Engineering and R&D & Innovation - carrying hard-won market and technical context across the boundary. You will partner closely with Tier-1 financial institution stakeholders from engineers to C-suite executives, translating their needs in custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading into buildable roadmaps. This is a deliberately hybrid role requiring a hands-on startup CTO mindset combined with the commercial instinct to grow accounts and turn delivered trust into the next engagement.

What You’ll Do:

• Own product and technical direction: translate institutional needs - custody, settlement, tokenization, trading, and regulatory context - into a buildable roadmap; set the technical bar, make hard design calls, and stay in the code when it matters
• Drive commercial and account growth: run your account like a business, identify expansion opportunities, advise senior client stakeholders (CTO, COO, Head of Digital Assets), and convert delivered trust into the next engagement
• Lead client and executive relationships: run discovery from engineers to the C-suite, define success in their terms (adoption, risk, cost, time-to-value), and navigate complex regulated organizations to alignment
• Rotate into R&D and Innovation: lead 0-to-1 product creation on frontier blockchain and AI, and codify learnings into reusable components and playbooks that feed back into client delivery
• Serve as the voice of the customer back into Galaxy’s product organization, translating delivered insights into what the firm builds next
• Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes.
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven track record of owning outcomes end to end in ambiguous, high-stakes settings
• Real technical depth - you’ve shipped production software and can lead engineers credibly
• Commercial instinct - you’ve turned delivered work into expanded scope or revenue
• Executive presence - fluent from a whiteboard to a C-suite briefing
• Founder-grade agency and low ego - you find a path when none is obvious and care about the outcome, not the credit
• Typically 6+ years across forward-deployed/solutions engineering, technical PM, and client-facing delivery; shape of ownership matters more than years
• Willingness to travel approximately 25-40% of the time

Bonus Points: 

• Experience in digital assets or blockchain infrastructure
• Prior delivery experience into Tier-1 financial institutions
• Hands-on production LLM or AI agent experience
• Technical founder or quota-carrying solutions architect background
• Fluency in custody, settlement, payments rails, tokenization, or trading systems

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary and discretionary bonus
• Hybrid/Flexible Working Arrangements 
• Flexible Time Off (paid)
• 3% 401(k) company contribution
• Company-paid health and protective benefits for employees, partners, and other dependents
• Generous paid Parental Leave
• Competitive family planning benefits for US employees 
• Opportunities to learn about the Crypto industry
• Smart, entrepreneurial, and fun colleagues
• Free daily snacks and weekly breakfasts/lunches 
• Employee Resource Groups
• Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace
