About the role

Turnkey is revolutionizing key management with an API designed for unparalleled security, flexibility, and ease of use in the Web3 ecosystem. Founded by the leaders who scaled Coinbase Custody to over $100M+ ARR, we are rebuilding crypto infrastructure from the ground up, tackling foundational security challenges to empower developers. Much like AWS transformed computing with the advent of the cloud, Turnkey is building the trustless, transparent, and decentralized infrastructure that will unlock the next wave of mass-market crypto applications, solving the critical challenge of secure, flexible key management. We are looking for talented engineers who are excited by the radical potential of crypto to change the world for the better. We are generalist engineers and constantly solving new problems and challenges. We are language-agnostic, though we do use Go, Typescript, and Rust in production and while we don't expect you to have a background in every technology we use, we do expect strong fundamentals and experience building scalable infrastructure.

  • Design and build new product features end-to-end driven by customer requests
  • Assist in scaling out a world-class engineering team
  • Develop thoughtful deployment processes and infrastructure to reduce the risks inherent in the software development lifecycle

Requirements

  • 5+ years of production engineering experience
  • Experience with one of the following languages: Go, Typescript, or Rust
  • Experience working with AWS, GCP, or other other cloud providers
  • An understanding of modern application architectures with opinions on how they should be developed and deployed
  • Experience building and operating large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure
  • A healthy amount of paranoia :)
  • People who have experience building scaled crypto products
  • Style Points
  • Experience developing against TEEs, HSMs, and other secure computing environments
  • A deep understanding of the Linux operating system and how to reduce the surface area of applications deployed on top of it
  • Expertise in threshold signing systems and a desire to stay on the cutting edge of production-grade cryptography
  • Actively tracking developments in the crypto ecosystem and opinionated on where it is going
