Job Description

Senior Counsel

Remote (U.S. preferred)

Intro

We are building shared financial infrastructure that enables businesses to create and operate their own branded digital currencies. Our platform allows builders to customize key attributes such as branding, transfer logic, compliance frameworks, and incentive mechanisms.
