This role pays $175k-$250k, above the $170k median for legal & compliance roles in crypto on this board.

As a Solutions Architect at Galaxy Digital, you bring deep expertise in both traditional finance systems and digital asset infrastructure. You own the technical architecture for custom engagements spanning custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading, working with Tier-1 institutional clients and defending complex design decisions where there is no obvious right answer.

What you'll do

  • Own the technical architecture for custom build engagements spanning custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading infrastructure
  • Design and articulate how a full digital asset platform is architected end to end, from asset issuance and tokenization through custody, settlement, trading, and reporting
  • Bring deep TradFi systems experience into digital asset architecture decisions, identifying where legacy patterns transfer directly and where they need to be reinvented
  • Serve as the primary technical and architectural point of contact for Tier-1 institutional stakeholders, running technical discovery and defending design decisions with client engineers and executives
  • Partner with Product to translate requirements into sound architecture and with engineering to set the technical bar and make hard design calls
  • Explain and defend tokenization mechanics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, covering how assets are represented, issued, transferred, and settled on-chain versus off-chain
  • Stay hands-on by reviewing designs and code, prototyping where it de-risks a decision, and remaining credible with the engineers doing the build
  • Champion the thoughtful adoption of AI tools to improve team performance, decision-making, and output quality

What you bring

  • Proven track record building and scaling TradFi systems at meaningful scale, at a bank, exchange, custodian, or major financial infrastructure provider
  • Deep, applied understanding of system design and architecture principles as they apply to both TradFi and digital asset systems
  • True fluency in tokenization, able to explain and design how it works mechanically and how it fits into a broader institutional platform
  • Experience architecting a full digital asset platform covering custody, settlement, tokenization, and trading (not just a single component)
  • Specialist-level technical depth and comfort being the senior-most technical voice in the room on architecture
  • Client-facing experience with Tier-1 institutions, fluent from whiteboard sessions with engineers through C-suite briefings
  • Founder-grade agency and low ego, comfortable making hard design calls in ambiguous, high-stakes settings

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience building blockchain infrastructure or tokenization platforms
  • Prior architecture leadership at a custodian, exchange, clearinghouse, or Tier-1 bank
  • Hands-on production LLM or AI agent experience

What we offer

  • Base salary of $175,000-$250,000 USD, commensurate with experience and expertise, plus discretionary bonus and equity incentives
  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
  • Flexible, paid time off
  • 3% company contribution to 401(k)
  • Company-paid health and protective benefits for employees, partners, and dependents
  • Generous paid parental leave
  • Competitive family planning benefits for US employees
  • Free daily snacks and weekly breakfasts and lunches
  • Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace
  • Employee Resource Groups
  • Opportunities to learn about the crypto industry
