About Mesh At Mesh, our mission is to enable consumers to pay and be paid with any asset. Today, trillions of dollars in tokenized assets exist but remain largely unusable for everyday commerce. Mesh is bridging this gap by making crypto payments reliable, useful, and ubiquitous. We combine a powerful orchestration engine with a seamless consumer app to unlock liquidity for the world. Backed by leading investors like SBI, Money Forward, Paradigm, Dragonfly, Galaxy, and PayPal Ventures, we are building the infrastructure for the next era of the global economy. Join us! Overview We’re hiring a Head of Engineering to lead our Full-Stack Web3 team building the products and infrastructure that power our crypto payments platform, from client-facing wallet connection flows and dashboards to backend transaction processing, multi-chain infrastructure, and on/off-ramp systems. Mesh is a global company headquartered in San Francisco. What You'll Do - Own the technical strategy for Web3 initiatives, translating company priorities into a multi-quarter plan executed across your team. - Build, manage, and grow a team of mainly senior to staff level engineers – hire, coach, and set career paths. - Lead the design and technical direction for complex workflows spanning wallets, transactions, settlements, and on-chain/off-chain orchestration, partnering closely with your managers on execution. - Own planning, execution, and delivery of multi-chain integrations, wallet infrastructure (self-custody and MPC/custodial), RPC node management, and on-chain transaction monitoring at the org level. - Partner with Product, Design, Compliance, Legal, and other cross-functional and external teams to turn ambiguous requirements into a coherent technical roadmap. - Represent engineering in exec-level planning and reporting, influencing company-wide roadmap decisions and resourcing. Who You Are - 5+ years of experience managing engineering teams with a track record of scaling teams and organizational structure. - 8+ years of overall engineering experience, including production experience across frontend, backend, and on-chain components in a Web3/blockchain context. - Hands-on (or recent hands-on) experience with Web3 building blocks — wallet connectivity/integrations, dApp development, blockchain RPCs and indexing, and/or on-chain/off-chain payment & settlement flows — and comfortable going deep with your teams on technical tradeoffs. - Familiar with DeFi primitives (DEXs, swaps, lending, trading platforms) and how they operate in production systems. - Strong understanding of the transaction lifecycle (signing, submission, execution) and a security-first mindset you can instill across an organization. - Experience setting engineering standards and technical direction across a stack that spans modern frontend frameworks (TypeScript, React), backend services/APIs (Go, Rust, Java/Scala, Node.js, or similar), and smart contracts/on-chain interactions (Solidity). - Solid fundamentals in building scalable, reliable, observable distributed systems (monitoring, logging, tracing, performance) and a track record of holding teams accountable to reliability bars. - Comfort operating in the ambiguity of a fast-moving, regulated fintech environment — able to navigate cross-functional and cross-border collaboration (Mesh’s teams span North America, Europe, and India). The compensation range provided may span multiple career levels and will be narrowed during the interview process based on factors including a candidate's experience, skills, qualifications, and geographic location. For candidates outside of New York or San Francisco, compensation will be adjusted to reflect the applicable market and location-based pay band. The base salary range listed excludes commission (if applicable), equity, and benefits. The pay range represents the minimum and maximum target for new-hire compensation. Actual compensation may vary and may be higher or lower depending on individual circumstances. Pay Range $210,000 — $300,000 USD Why You’ll Love It Here At Mesh, you're not stepping into a typical role—you're joining a rocket ship in mid-liftoff. You'll tackle complex, meaningful problems that actually move an industry forward, working alongside a sharp, motivated team that moves quickly, collaborates deeply, and expects everyone to operate with ownership. This is the kind of place where you'll see your work ship fast, make real impact, and be able to point to something and say, "I built that." You'll grow fast, level up your skills, and get a front-row seat to how a high-growth company scales from the inside, with competitive comp, solid benefits, and room to stretch your craft all coming standard. If you're energized by building, learning, and shaping something big—this is where you'll want to be. In-Office Expectations Employees based in our San Francisco, New York, and Bangalore hubs are expected to work from the office at least 40% of the time (approximately two days per week). This expectation may vary slightly depending on role, team, and business needs. Certain roles that require closer cross-functional collaboration or operational support may have additional in-office requirements, which will be discussed during the interview process. Our hybrid approach is designed to balance meaningful in-person collaboration, team building, and real-time decision-making with the flexibility to work remotely. We believe this structure supports strong execution while preserving autonomy and focus time. How We Care For Our Team We believe great work happens when people feel valued and supported. That starts with competitive salary and equity that grows as you and the company grow, plus comprehensive health coverage for you and your family. We offer unlimited PTO—and we mean it. Take the time you need to recharge and show up at your best. We're invested in your growth with a dedicated budget for courses, conferences, and certifications. Work from wherever you're most productive with our remote-friendly approach, and count on having the top-tier tools and equipment you need to do exceptional work. Mesh Pay is committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, genetic information, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, lawful alien status, national origin, age, marital status, and non-job related physical or mental disability, or protected veteran status.
