Co-Founder and CTO

Chief Technology Officer (CTO) & Co-Founder

Location: UAE or Remote

Equity: Significant co-founder stake + competitive package

We are building the future of cross-border B2B payments.

A next-generation crypto-native payments platform combining:
• seamless B2B crypto payments
• fiat off-ramping
• payment cards
• tokenized real-world assets
• embedded payment financing (PayFi)

Regulatory-first. Compliance-forward. Enterprise-ready.

We are now hiring our founding CTO to own the entire technology vision, architecture, and execution — and to be a true partner in this journey.

Prior experience in fintech or payments infrastructure is essential.

We’re not building DeFi toys or another Web3 wallet. We’re building rails that move real money, in regulated environments, with real businesses and real compliance. If you’ve worked on payment systems, digital banking infra, transaction processing, card issuance, or FX settlement — we want to talk.

Why This Is a Unique Opportunity
• Build one of the first truly enterprise-grade B2B crypto payment networks from the ground up.
• Architect a hybrid multi-chain stack with fiat off-ramp rails and card integration.
• Drive innovation in RWA tokenization and structured finance on-chain.
• Operate at the cutting edge of payments, DeFi, compliance, and tokenization.
• Shape the company alongside a proven founder and investor
• Build a world-class engineering team while leading global technical strategy.
• Work from anywhere or base yourself in UAE, one of the world’s most crypto-forward hubs.

What You’ll Do

Vision & Leadership
• Co-own and co-develop the product and technology vision with the CEO.
• Serve as the technical face of the company with investors, partners, and customers.
• Build and scale the core engineering team, instilling strong product and security culture.

Architecture & Execution
• Architect a high-performance, secure, scalable crypto payments platform, including:
• Multi-chain transaction layer (starting with stablecoins on Solana, Polygon, Ethereum)
• Fiat offramp and payment processor integrations
• Embedded card stack (issuer processing, card management)
• Tokenization stack for RWA and smart contracts
• Payment financing workflows
• Enterprise APIs and reporting
• Establish rigorous engineering, DevOps, and security practices.
• Manage the build-buy-partner strategy for core components and accelerate delivery.
• Drive fast but compliant MVP launch and iterate quickly based on market feedback.

Talent & Culture
• Attract and hire top engineering talent across India and globally.
• Build a high-performance engineering culture rooted in quality, transparency, and ownership.
• Work cross-functionally with Product, BD, Compliance, and Ops leaders.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have
• Deep experience as a founding engineer / early-stage CTO / Tech Lead in fintech, payments, crypto, or DeFi.
• Proven ability to architect scalable transaction systems — payments, wallets, custody, or equivalent.
• Solid knowledge of multi-chain ecosystems (Solana, EVM chains) and associated dev tools.
• Strong understanding of KYC/AML, compliance, fiat ramps, and tokenization legal frameworks (or eagerness to learn fast).
• Passion for building secure, compliant, scalable systems from zero to one.
• Strong leadership and ability to recruit, mentor, and scale teams.
• Willingness to take true co-founder responsibility and ownership.

Bonus
• Prior experience in building card stack integrations (BIN sponsorship, issuer processor).
• Experience building or integrating RWA tokenization platforms.
• Experience with cross-border payments, FX, or payment financing (BNPL/PayFi) products.
• Exposure to enterprise SaaS APIs and B2B sales motion.
• Experience scaling teams across locations
• Prior experience operating in MSB / EMI / card-regulated environments.

What We Offer
• Co-founder role with competitive package + significant equity and long-term wealth creation opportunity.
• Strong backing by experienced founder and investor.
• The opportunity to build a category-defining global product from Day 0.
• Ownership of technology and product vision with freedom to execute.
• Dynamic hybrid team with a global remote-first culture.
• The opportunity to truly innovate in crypto payments, tokenization, and on-chain finance.
