About this role

Figure is seeking a Director, Crypto Protocols to lead the rollout of PRIME, a RWA DeFi token, focusing on technical strategy and architectural execution across blockchain networks.

Description

About Figure Figure (NASDAQ: FIGR) is transforming capital markets through blockchain. We’re proving that blockchain isn’t just theory - it’s powering real products used by hundreds of thousands of consumers and institutions. By combining blockchain’s transparency and efficiency with AI-driven automation, we’ve reimagined how loans are originated, funded, and traded in secondary markets. From faster processing times to lower costs and reduced bias, our technology is helping borrowers, investors, and financial institutions achieve better outcomes. Together with our 170+ partners, we’ve originated over $22 billion in home equity loans (HELOCs) on our blockchain-native platform, making Figure the largest non-bank provider of home equity financing in the U.S. Figure’s ecosystem also includes YLDS, an SEC-registered yield-bearing stablecoin that operates as a tokenized money market fund, and several other products and platforms that are reshaping consumer finance and capital markets. We’re proud to be recognized as one of [Forbes’ Most Innovative Fintech Startups in 2025](https://www.forbes.com/lists/fintech50/) and [Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in Finance and Personal Finance](https://www.fastcompany.com/91269557/finance-personal-finance-most-innovative-companies-2025).

Responsibilities
  • Lead the architecture and delivery of PRIME through the Hastra protocol.
  • Design and build core protocol services across RWA DeFi, tokenization, settlement, and cross-chain infrastructure.
  • Own technical direction for new Hastra DeFi projects, from early design through production launch.
  • Develop production systems using Golang, Rust, Solidity, and related blockchain infrastructure.
  • Expand Hastra’s protocol footprint across Solana, Ethereum, and additional native chain ecosystems.
  • Collaborate with internal teams, vendors, and protocol partners to define requirements, timelines, and delivery plans.
  • Communicate clearly with leadership and stakeholders, including practical timeline estimates and tradeoff analysis.
  • Operate protocol infrastructure with strong monitoring, observability, and incident readiness using tools such as Datadog, Hypernative, and other DeFi monitoring platforms.
  • Review architecture, code, vendor integrations, and protocol design decisions for scalability, security, and maintainability.
  • Mentor engineers while remaining deeply hands-on in the codebase.
Requirements
  • At least 8 years of software engineering background, focusing on the development of production-ready backend, blockchain, or distributed architectures.
  • Deep technical proficiency in Rust, Golang, and/or Solidity.
  • Direct experience with Ethereum and Solana native environments; familiarity with other blockchain ecosystems is advantageous.
  • Proven track record in DeFi, smart contracts, token protocols, cross-chain infrastructure, or institutional-grade crypto trading and settlement systems.
  • Skilled at managing production environments with a focus on observability, alerting, monitoring, and disciplined incident response.
  • Capacity to spearhead architectural decisions while maintaining a daily commitment to writing high-quality code.
  • Excellent communication abilities, including effectively coordinating with vendors, evaluating technical trade-offs, and providing realistic timeline estimates.
  • A high-ownership, low-ego approach to work with a strong drive to ship products.
  • A Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline like Computer Science is preferred, though we value significant practical experience over formal credentials.
Conditions & Benefits
  • Base Compensation Range: $174,240-$261,360/yr
  • 25% annual bonus target, paid quarterly
  • Company equity in the form of RSUs
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% employer-paid premiums for employees and their dependents on select plans
