Join Goldman Sachs’ Digital Assets Engineering team and help build institutional-grade tokenization capabilities across Global Markets and Banking. The team is developing scalable, secure, and interoperable digital-asset products and workflows spanning securities, funds, and digital cash.

As a Vice President-level Senior Software Engineer, you will be a hands-on technologist responsible for designing and delivering multi-chain tokenization and interoperability solutions. You will work across Canton/Daml and EVM-based blockchain ecosystems, partnering closely with business, product, operations, control functions, and engineering teams to translate complex market, regulatory, and operational requirements into robust production platforms.

This role is suited to an expert-level engineer with strong multi-chain architecture and smart-contract engineering expertise, preferably spanning Canton/Daml and EVM technologies such as Solidity and Rust. The successful candidate will bring deep knowledge of institutional tokenization, secure cross-network interoperability, and enterprise-scale distributed systems engineering.

How You Will Fulfill Your Potential

• Architect, design, and implement production-grade smart contracts, tokenization services, and interoperability components across Canton/Daml and EVM-based blockchain environments.
• Design and deliver multi-chain tokenization workflows across securities, funds, collateral mobility, and digital-cash use cases, incorporating on-ledger contracts, off-ledger services, workflow orchestration, automation, and enterprise integration.
• Design secure, cross-network transaction and settlement patterns, including atomic or coordinated settlement, token transfers, asset locking and release mechanisms, mint-and-burn patterns, escrow, and reconciliation controls, as appropriate to the target architecture.
• Model and implement end-to-end asset lifecycles, including issuance, registry and custody, distribution, transfer restrictions, settlement, cash management, corporate actions, asset servicing, redemption, and reporting.
• Design secure, privacy-aware, and operationally resilient distributed-ledger solutions, including identity, authorization, key management, wallet integration, transaction signing, data visibility, network connectivity, node operations, and production controls.
• Establish and promote engineering standards for multi-chain smart-contract design, contract lifecycle management, package and protocol versioning, automated testing, security assurance, observability, performance, resilience, and secure software delivery.
• Evaluate blockchain protocols, smart-contract platforms, interoperability frameworks, bridge designs, privacy-enhancing technologies, and cryptographic techniques for their suitability in institutional tokenization products.

Basic Qualifications

• Multi-chain Tokenization expertise: Significant hands-on experience designing and delivering production tokenization systems, smart contracts, within a financial services or similarly regulated enterprise environment.
• Strong expertise in EVM and Solidly smart-contract engineering, including: (a) Token standards and token lifecycle design; (b) Authorization, role-based access control, and upgrade patterns; (c) Smart-contract security controls and vulnerability remediation; (d) Automated unit, integration, end-to-end, and adversarial testing; (e) Contract deployment, release management, and monitoring; (f) Gas optimization, transaction lifecycle management, and production operational support.
• Strong expertise in Canton and Daml smart-contract engineering, including: (a) complex Daml templates, choices, contract keys, signatories and authorization; (b) Daml interfaces and reusable package design; (c) Contract lifecycle and archival patterns; (d) Privacy and selective-disclosure design; (e) Upgrade-safe Daml contract design, upgrade execution, and DAR packaging; (f) Automated unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
• Demonstrable experience with multi-chain and interoperability architecture, including: (a) Cross-chain messaging and asset-transfer architectures; (b) Bridge, relay, attestation, validator, oracle, or interoperability-protocol design; (c) Asset locking, escrow, collateralization, mint-and-burn, and burn-and-mint patterns; (d) Cross-network transaction coordination, settlement finality, reconciliation, and failure handling; (e) Security risks associated with bridge, validator, key-management, and message-verification models.
• Strong capital-markets and tokenization domain expertise across one or more relevant asset classes, such as: (a) Securitized products, including mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities; (b) Equities and equity-linked instruments; (c) Repo, securities financing, and collateral; (d) Money-market funds, alternative investment funds; (e) Tokenized deposits, regulated stablecoins, or digital cash. (f) Proven ability to design “need-to-know” workflows that appropriately protect confidential client, trading, position, and transaction data.
• Strong event-driven, API-first, enterprise architecture experience using Java and/or TypeScript, REST/gRPC, Kafka or equivalent event-streaming platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with developing tokenization platforms in EVM-based blockchain, using Solidity, RUST, etc.
• Experience with multi-chain interoperable bridge and protocol, Zero Knowledge Proof cryptography.
• Experience with Agentic AI Engineering and specification-driven development (SDD) best practices, including the design of governed AI agents, tool orchestration, loop engineering and evaluation frameworks, human-in-the-loop controls, and traceable software specifications for complex enterprise workflows.
