We are headquartered in Singapore, with our main engineering hub in Vietnam and operating banks in South Africa and the Philippines.\nAbout GoTymeX\nGoTymeX is our engineering, product, and design organisation that builds the digital products powering the GoTyme Group. Our engineering culture is API-first, distributed-systems-literate, and biased toward learning in production.\nAbout the product\nWe are establishing a new portfolio which will leverage blockchain and digital asset technology to deliver a new customer experience to customers in expansion markets.

You will set the architecture, make the build-vs-buy calls, lead vendor discussions and stay close enough to the code to make calls credibly from zero to one and beyond.\nWhat you will do\nLead the engineering delivery end-to-end, covering wallet, payments, custody integration, KYC, ledger and account management, and the broader product layer that ties them together.\nRecruit the founding engineering team; initially a tight pod, scaling quickly. Set the bar for hiring and shape the team's culture, rituals, and standards from day one.\nDefine and build our integration framework for infrastructure partners.\nMake build-vs-buy calls. Partner with our architecture and product teams to define our approach to integrating best-in-class partners / building the product layer / leveraging the existing GoTymeX platform to support.

You have shipped regulated products, and you have shipped on-chain products.\nProven full-stack engineering experience across modern frontend frameworks and backend technologies, with the ability to make and guide architectural decisions across the entire stack.\nMulti-vendor orchestration leadership, including an API-first setup approach and run at scale covering roadmaps, SLAs and support in commercial discussions.\nDemonstrated experience hiring and building remote and hybrid engineering teams across multiple time zones.\nExperience operating inside regulated fintechs across multiple jurisdictions; comfort working with compliance, risk, and regulators (e.g. MiCA, CASP, VARA, MAS DPT and equivalents). \nAn AI-native operating mode. You use AI tooling as a default, you have shipped with it, and you have an opinion on how it changes team shape and delivery cadence.\nA 'build like a founder' approach; start-up or scale-up experience, hands-on with the product, comfortable with ambiguity, and biased to ship.\nStrong plus\nBuild and configuration of modern distributed-ledger technologies.\nMPC/HSM and signing-infrastructure experience.\nHands-on production experience across one or more of wallet and payment infrastructure, blockchain and distributed-ledger technologies, core banking platforms and ledger management, identity, fraud and risk systems including AML and travel rule tooling, and card issuing and processing.\nWeb3 architecture - wallets, MPC/HSM set ups, account abstraction, signing infrastructure, on-chain analytics.\nDeep AWS knowledge and serverless-native experience (Lambda, EventBridge, Step Functions, DynamoDB).\nPromote a data-first architecture experience as the foundation to define our product and developer experience in a complex regulated environment.\nExperience as one of the founding engineers or first engineering leaders on a new product or business line.\nExperience working with modern tooling and languages including but not exclusively Java, Python, Swift, Kotlin, Databricks, Datadog, AWS, LaunchDarkly.\nBenefits\nCompetitive base salary aligned to seniority and market.\nPerformance-based bonus and equity participation in GoTyme Group.\nHybrid or fully remote working, with the requirement to operate in an APAC timezone.\nQuarterly travel to Ho Chi Minh City (covered by the company) for engineering all-hands and team in-person time.\nComprehensive private healthcare, life and disability cover.\nGenerous annual leave, plus public holidays in your country of residence.\nA learning and development budget, including paid certifications and conference attendance.\nLatest-gen hardware and a stipend for your home-working setup.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6137,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Malaysia","iso":"MY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Philippines","iso":"PH","kind":"country"},{"name":"Vietnam","iso":"VN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Hong Kong","iso":"HK","kind":"country"},{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blockchain & Crypto","Financial Software & Embedded Finance","Crypto Wallets","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T04:46:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T08:43:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13149,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3827705},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3827705"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgotymex-engineering-manager-crypto-payments"}]}
