Senior Full Stack Engineer - BitGo Labs

BitGo is the leading infrastructure provider of digital asset solutions, delivering custody, wallets, staking, trading, financing, and settlement services from regulated cold storage. Since our founding in 2013, we have focused on enabling our clients to securely navigate the digital asset space. With a global presence and multiple Trust companies, BitGo serves thousands of institutions, including many of the industry's top brands, exchanges, and platforms, and millions of retail investors worldwide. As the operational backbone of the digital economy, BitGo handles a significant portion of Bitcoin network transactions and is the largest independent digital asset custodian, and staking provider, in the world. For more information, visit www.bitgo.com.

BitGo spent a decade building the infrastructure the digital asset industry runs on. Custody, settlement, wallets, a national trust bank charter. Rails that institutions trust with hundreds of billions of dollars.

Custody is the operating system. BitGo Labs builds the apps.

We are looking for an engineer who wants to ship more real products in one year than most engineers ship in a career.

What BitGo Labs is

Most corporate innovation labs are where ideas go to be studied. Decks get made. Pilots get piloted. Nothing ever meets a customer.

We built Labs to be the opposite of that. We push out real, live, revenue-generating products, and every one has to clear the same two-part bar:

• A value proposition or economics only possible because of crypto. If a normal company could build it on normal rails, it fails the test. We only build things where owning the infrastructure is the unfair advantage.
• Only buildable this fast because of AI. Three months from blank page to live product. Not a prototype, not a beta behind a waitlist. Live.

Обязанности

The first product is already out in the world, built and launched inside ninety days. More are coming. Some will become businesses. Some will be shut down on schedule, without ceremony, because the numbers said so. Both outcomes are the system working.

You'll be the engineering backbone of a product from its first commit to its first customer, working in a tiny team alongside a senior PM, the Head of Labs, and BitGo's CEO.

There is no separate frontend team, backend team, or infra team waiting to take tickets from you. You are the team. That's not a staffing gap. It's the design: one engineer who owns the whole stack moves faster than five who own slices of it, especially with AI doing the heavy lifting.

A cycle looks like this

• Take a spec that's still warm and make the architecture calls that let it ship in ninety days. Choose boring technology on purpose. The innovation budget is spent on the product, not the stack.
• Build the whole thing. Frontend, backend, data, deployment. Integrate BitGo's custody, wallet, stablecoin, and settlement rails where the product needs them, and third-party vendors where buying beats building.
• Use AI as a force multiplier, not a party trick. The three-month clock only works if you're the kind of engineer who gets 5x output from these tools and knows exactly when not to trust them.
• Ship to real users, instrument everything, and keep shipping. Launch day is the midpoint, not the finish line.
• Then hand off, wind down, or double down. When a product graduates or dies, you start the next one with everything you learned.

You will not be handed a ticket queue. You'll be handed rails, a product thesis, and a deadline.

Who thrives here

• Someone who has built a product from nothing. Startup, side project, or the first engineer on a true zero-to-one team. You've made the tradeoffs that only matter when there's no one else to make them.
• Someone genuinely full-stack, 5+ years deep. Modern web frontend, API and service design, data modeling, cloud deployment. You don't need to be world-class at every layer. You need to be dangerous at all of them.
• Someone who has made AI part of how they work. Not "I've tried Copilot." Your daily throughput would be visibly impossible without these tools, and you have strong opinions about where they fail.
• Someone comfortable with crypto, or unafraid of getting there fast. You don't need protocol-level expertise. Wallets, stablecoins, and settlement will be APIs you consume. Curiosity is required, maximalism is not.
• Someone who ships over polishes. You know the difference between the corners you can cut and the ones that cut back. Security and money-handling are the ones that cut back.
• Someone who can throw away their own code. When a product gets killed, the code goes with it. Take the learning, keep the reusable parts, start the next one without a mourning period.

The honest part

This job has no ticket queue, no big team, no tidy org chart. Some of what you build will be shut down, and you'll have written every line of it. If you want to spend three years scaling a single codebase, this is the wrong job, and we'd rather you know now.

But if you've ever looked at a big company's infrastructure and thought about everything you could build if someone just let you, this is the job where someone lets you.
