Our client is seeking a Chief Blockchain Architect to serve as the technical visionary and lead architect of the platform’s blockchain infrastructure. The role involves designing a high-throughput, low-latency, and compliant chain capable of handling massive parallel execution for large-scale gaming and digital entertainment workloads. This is a founder-level leadership role, blending hands-on engineering with architecture vision and long-term ecosystem design.

 

Key Responsibilities

 

  • Blockchain Architecture & Design

     

    • Architect a blockchain optimized for ultra-high TPS, sub-second finality, and low-cost transactions.

    • Design parallel execution/sharding strategies to handle high-volume, real-time workloads.

    • Build a permissioned environment balancing regulatory compliance with developer flexibility.

     

  • Ecosystem Infrastructure

     

    • Develop core protocols for randomness, fairness, and verifiable on-chain gaming logic.

    • Oversee integration of the token economy powering operators, players, and rewards.

    • Create frameworks enabling compliant third-party applications to launch within the ecosystem.

     

  • Innovation & Tooling

     

    • Lead development of AI-powered builder tools for plug-and-play application creation.

    • Drive innovation in interoperability, scalability, and modular architecture.

    • Ensure seamless integration with NFTs, reward systems, and affiliate networks.

     

  • Leadership & Collaboration

     

    • Partner with product, compliance, and operations teams to align architecture with business strategy.

    • Recruit, mentor, and lead a world-class blockchain engineering team.

    • Represent the project in technical discussions with regulators, partners, and the developer community.

  • Proven experience as Chief Architect, Head of Engineering, or equivalent in blockchain infrastructure projects (L1/L2, gaming, or high-throughput systems).

  • Deep expertise in consensus algorithms, distributed systems, and smart contract platforms.

  • Strong track record in scaling blockchain performance (10k+ TPS, parallel execution, sharding, or equivalent).

  • Hands-on engineering experience in Rust, Go, C++, or similar performance-critical languages.

  • Familiarity with regulatory and compliance frameworks in fintech, gaming, or payments.

  • Experience designing secure randomness/oracle solutions for fairness in digital applications.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with ability to thrive in a high-growth environment.

Nice-to-Have

 

  • Experience in gaming or entertainment infrastructure.

  • Knowledge of cryptography, ZK proofs, or secure multi-party computation.

  • Background in AI-driven systems or developer tool ecosystems.

  • Leadership in a project that achieved global scale (millions of users, high TPS).

 

Why This Role

 

  • Opportunity to architect a category-defining infrastructure project.

  • Shape the future of blockchain, gaming, and AI convergence.

  • Join a project with global scale ambitions and multi-billion-dollar potential.

  • Founder-level ownership and visibility in a high-impact environment.
