About Zenith

Zenith extends the Canton Network by enabling participants to launch customizable Virtual Blockchains that integrate seamlessly with Canton’s privacy, compliance, and settlement infrastructure. These multi-VM execution environments (EVM, SVM, MoveVM, and others) allow institutions and innovators to build interoperable, compliant, and scalable financial systems on top of Canton.

Operating at the intersection of DeFi and TradFi, Zenith is constructing the foundation for Web2.5, a technological renaissance where institutional-grade ledgers and consumer blockchains converge to modernize global finance.

Our team combines decades of experience across blockchain infrastructure, capital markets, and venture innovation. We are proud to be one of the Canton Network’s key ecosystem actors, extending its ecosystem to directly deliver institutional trust, compliance, and scalability to the next generation of digital assets.

What you’ll do

This is a critical engineering leadership role for a hands-on builder who can scale Zenith's development organization to the next level. You will oversee and coordinate engineering activities across internal teams, external contributors, and client integrations — ensuring that Zenith delivers world-class infrastructure with precision and reliability.

• Build and evolve internal engineering processes: Establish development workflows, coordination frameworks, and execution standards across protocol and infrastructure teams.
• Co-lead engineering strategy: Work closely with the CTO and Head of Product to align architecture, planning, technical priorities, and delivery across the full product and protocol roadmap.
• Oversee external development partners: Design processes and governance for collaborating with external engineering teams contributing to the Zenith Virtual Blockchains.
• Coordinate client and prover integrations**:** Oversee the end-to-end integration of Virtual Blockchains and prover workflows, ensuring smooth technical alignment across contributing partners.
• Drive project management excellence: Own the technical project boards (GitHub or equivalent), ensuring transparency, alignment, prioritization, and on-time execution.
• Implement engineering best practices: Introduce strong practices around testing, release processes, documentation, and cross-team communication.
• Contribute to code when needed: Step in across the stack when bottlenecks arise. Help unblocking teams through hands-on contributions when required.
