Job Summary

Hands-on Solution Architect driving architectural decisions, security-first design, and AI-enabled platform standardisation for a regulated crypto bank. Writes production-grade PoCs, leads the Architectural Advice Forum, mentors engineers across SATs, and partners with the CTO to evolve AI strategy while ensuring reliability, observability and secure-by-default patterns across backend, web and mobile.

Location: Gibraltar

Workplace: Remote

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Solutions Engineering & Sales Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Own and facilitate the Architectural Advice Forum (AAF), driving decentralised decision-making that is captured as ADRs. The forum is yours, the challenge is expected, but you are not “single” approver of every architectural change, the goal is for decisions to be made as close to the teams doing the work as possible.
•Personally build production-grade Proofs of Concept to de-risk new patterns, validate architectural ideas and demonstrate “what good looks like” ahead of broader adoption.
•Partner with the CTO on Xapo’s AI strategy, identifying high-value opportunities, evaluating tooling, prototyping solutions and helping engineering teams adopt AI responsibly across the SDLC and our customer-facing products.
•Own cross-cutting standardisation across backend, web and mobile engineering, patterns, paradigms, observability, security, testing and delivery, so that quality and velocity scale together.
•Define and uphold the engineering quality bar across backend, web and mobile, covering testing, code review, observability, security, performance and production-readiness, and lead by example through your own POCs and code reviews

Key Requirements

•10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years in an Architect, Staff or equivalent senior-IC role.
•Deep experience designing, building and operating distributed, event-driven systems in production, ideally at scale and under regulatory scrutiny.
•Hands-on experience with Domain-Driven Design, both strategic (bounded contexts, context mapping) and tactical patterns.
•Practical familiarity with decentralised architectural governance, Architectural Advice Forum, RFCs and ADRs, and a clear point of view on why architectural decisions should be made close to the teams doing the work.
•Demonstrated ability to lead by influence rather than authority: you have inspired engineers to adopt good practices because they wanted to, not because they were told to.
