About the role
What will you do at Goldman Sachs?
Role Overview
Join Goldman Sachs’ Digital Assets Engineering team and help build
institutional-grade tokenization capabilities across Global Markets and Banking.
The team is developing scalable, secure, and interoperable digital-asset
products and workflows spanning securities, funds, and digital cash.
As a Vice President-level Senior Software Engineer, you will be a hands-on
technologist responsible for designing and delivering multi-chain tokenization
and interoperability solutions. You will work across Canton/Daml and EVM-based
blockchain ecosystems, partnering closely with business, product, operations,
control functions, and engineering teams to translate complex market,
regulatory, and operational requirements into robust production platforms.
This role is suited to an expert-level engineer with strong multi-chain
architecture and smart-contract engineering expertise, preferably spanning
Canton/Daml and EVM technologies such as Solidity and Rust. The successful
candidate will bring deep knowledge of institutional tokenization, secure
cross-network interoperability, and enterprise-scale distributed systems
engineering.
How You Will Fulfill Your Potential
* Architect, design, and implement production-grade smart contracts,
tokenization services, and interoperability components across Canton/Daml and
EVM-based blockchain environments.
* Design and deliver multi-chain tokenization workflows across securities,
funds, collateral mobility, and digital-cash use cases, incorporating
on-ledger contracts, off-ledger services, workflow orchestration, automation,
and enterprise integration.
* Design secure, cross-network transaction and settlement patterns, including
atomic or coordinated settlement, token transfers, asset locking and release
mechanisms, mint-and-burn patterns, escrow, and reconciliation controls, as
appropriate to the target architecture.
* Model and implement end-to-end asset lifecycles, including issuance, registry
and custody, distribution, transfer restrictions, settlement, cash
management, corporate actions, asset servicing, redemption, and reporting.
* Design secure, privacy-aware, and operationally resilient distributed-ledger
solutions, including identity, authorization, key management, wallet
integration, transaction signing, data visibility, network connectivity, node
operations, and production controls.
* Establish and promote engineering standards for multi-chain smart-contract
design, contract lifecycle management, package and protocol versioning,
automated testing, security assurance, observability, performance,
resilience, and secure software delivery.
* Evaluate blockchain protocols, smart-contract platforms, interoperability
frameworks, bridge designs, privacy-enhancing technologies, and cryptographic
techniques for their suitability in institutional tokenization products.
Basic Qualifications
* Multi-chain Tokenization expertise: Significant hands-on experience designing
and delivering production tokenization systems, smart contracts, within a
financial services or similarly regulated enterprise environment.
* Strong expertise in EVM and Solidly smart-contract engineering, including:
(a) Token standards and token lifecycle design; (b) Authorization, role-based
access control, and upgrade patterns; (c) Smart-contract security controls
and vulnerability remediation; (d) Automated unit, integration, end-to-end,
and adversarial testing; (e) Contract deployment, release management, and
monitoring; (f) Gas optimization, transaction lifecycle management, and
production operational support.
* Strong expertise in Canton and Daml smart-contract engineering, including:
(a) complex Daml templates, choices, contract keys, signatories and
authorization; (b) Daml interfaces and reusable package design; (c) Contract
lifecycle and archival patterns; (d) Privacy and selective-disclosure design;
(e) Upgrade-safe Daml contract design, upgrade execution, and DAR packaging;
(f) Automated unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.
* Demonstrable experience with multi-chain and interoperability architecture,
including: (a) Cross-chain messaging and asset-transfer architectures; (b)
Bridge, relay, attestation, validator, oracle, or interoperability-protocol
design; (c) Asset locking, escrow, collateralization, mint-and-burn, and
burn-and-mint patterns; (d) Cross-network transaction coordination,
settlement finality, reconciliation, and failure handling; (e) Security risks
associated with bridge, validator, key-management, and message-verification
models.
* Strong capital-markets and tokenization domain expertise across one or more
relevant asset classes, such as: (a) Securitized products, including
mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities; (b) Equities and
equity-linked instruments; (c) Repo, securities financing, and collateral;
(d) Money-market funds, alternative investment funds; (e) Tokenized deposits,
regulated stablecoins, or digital cash. (f) Proven ability to design
“need-to-know” workflows that appropriately protect confidential client,
trading, position, and transaction data.
* Strong event-driven, API-first, enterprise architecture experience using Java
and/or TypeScript, REST/gRPC, Kafka or equivalent event-streaming
platforms.
