Fireblocks’ platform and network provide the simplest and most secure way for companies to work with digital assets. Trusted by some of the largest financial institutions, banks, globally-recognized brands, and Web3 companies—including BNY Mellon, BNP Paribas, ANZ Bank, Revolut, Stripe, Circle, Zerohash, Magic Eden, and thousands more—this role offers the opportunity to lead core technology that is onboarding millions to the future of finance.

As part of Fireblocks, the leading platform for securing digital assets, dynamic.xyz operates at the intersection of enterprise security and consumer accessibility. Our combined entity is setting the new standard for best-in-class custodial and non-custodial solutions globally.

About The Team

Founded in 2021, Dynamic’s vision is that every app and website will integrate a wallet component, viewing wallets as foundational infrastructure for use cases like payroll, remittances, and global payments. The product centers on developer-first SDKs enabling seamless embedded wallet functionality, allowing end users to create, manage, and use wallets without leaving the application. Dynamic has onboarded over 50 million wallets.

Within the joint entity, Dynamic focuses on the application-layer wallet experience and developer tooling, complementing Fireblocks’ core custody, security, and transaction infrastructure. The team emphasizes a strong product mindset, secure-by-default systems, and exceptional developer experience.

The Platform team is the core engine of dynamic.xyz's backend, building and maintaining highly reliable, scalable, and secure foundational services. This includes the mission-critical Wallet-as-a-Service (WAAS), the core Authentication Platform, and essential services like Balances, Events, and many integrations. This high-growth area directly impacts the goal of onboarding millions more people.
