• Have real world experience building complex distributed systems. We mostly use Go, however languages can be learned. We really care about your engineering skills more than any specific language or framework
• Enjoy building resilient services that can handle different volumes of work without manual intervention
• Genuinely care about code quality and test infrastructure
• You feel comfortable diving down the stack and into open source projects to root cause a bug
• Prioritize end-user experience and business value over “cool tech.”
• Have developed “computer science fundamentals”, i.e. concurrency, algorithms, and data structures (Formal CS degree NOT required)
• Self describe as some combination of the following: creative, humble, ambitious, detail oriented, hard working, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action oriented, and tenacious

Desirable

• As member of the Protocols team you will be at the forefront of new cryptoasset support. At Anchorage Digital we want to support all the assets, that means there will always be a need to learn new blockchains, technologies and innovations, and integrate them into Anchorage Digital's ecosystem
• With all the existing and upcoming business lines, developing a scalable, reproducible and reliable layer that such business lines can use when interacting with the different blockchains is critical. We are never "done", we can always do better!
• Deeply research new cryptoassets and integrate them into Anchorage Digital’s platform
• Implement participatory features that clients need such as staking, governance, vesting, etc
• Develop abstractions that scale across all crypto-networks
• Support assets through upgrades and monitor for network-wide issues
• Contribute with and review code across the entire stack and engineering organization
• Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice)
• Foster an efficient deterministic testing culture, with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt and bureaucracy
• Work on the front lines of the blockchain/crypto movement and SecOps innovation
• Ship code that will impact the global economy
• Influence architecture/product roadmap - have a seat at the table
• Help scale the team
• Collaborate cross-functionally with everyone
