Chief Technology Officer

If you're a Tech leader with deep blockchain infrastructure experience and are ready to step into a role where strategy meets hands-on tech leadership, this might just be your next big move.

Staking Facilities has been pioneering blockchain infrastructure since 2017. We're not chasing VC rounds or growth at all costs, instead, we're building for the long run, sustainably, independently, and with a high calibre technical team at our core. Now, we're looking for a CTO to guide and grow that team as we enter our next chapter.

As CTO, you'll sit at the intersection of executive strategy and tech execution. You'll lead a multidisciplinary team of infrastructure engineers, node operators, and developers while helping shape the future of blockchain architecture, both inside SF and in the broader ecosystem.

• Own and continuously evolve our infrastructure and technology strategy in collaboration with the leadership team
• Be the senior technical voice in our strategic decision-making circle
• Guide roadmap priorities across infra, protocol integrations, and internal tooling
• Deep dive into validator operations, incident response, performance optimization, and monitoring
• Ensure high availability, high integrity infrastructure: this includes business continuity oversight
• Represent SF in protocol communities, partner conversations, and the broader Web3 ecosystem
• Act as a mentor to our leads and engineers, contributing architectural insights and technical guidance
• Work across functions to support the emergence of our second business unit (a trading initiative leveraging our blockspace access)
• Champion quality, ownership, and continuous learning within the tech team

• A technical leader with deep hands on blockchain infrastructure experience
• You're a creator with imagination, you're able to spot opportunities for us to expand and diversify our services
• You're comfortable owning architecture decisions, challenging assumptions, and navigating ambiguity
• Able to deep dive when needed: from reading logs to debugging infrastructure issues or reviewing PRs
• You have led cross-functional technical teams and are respected for your thought leadership
• You communicate clearly and work collaboratively with a calm, no ego approach
• Familiarity with ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, Sui, or Cosmos is a big plus
• Open to regular travel to Munich and representing SF in protocol communities and at conferences
• You don't need to be the loudest voice in the room, but you're not afraid to speak up when it matters
• Bonus: You've got ideas brewing about how to creatively use access to blockspace

• Excellent package with long term career growth opportunity in a pioneering blockchain infrastructure company
• You'll work with cutting edge infrastructure, validator technologies, and top-tier protocol ecosystems
• A socially and ethically responsible employer, pushing boundaries but not at the cost of the planet
• A high trust, remote first culture with a base in Munich and a globally distributed team
• 30 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours
• Fully paid for team events and conferences such as Solana Breakpoint, Solana Accelerate, Berlin Blockchain Week, Sui Base Camp
• Your peers bring strong expertise and a collaborative mindset, always eager to expand their skills, just like you
• Budget and support for personal learning, growth, and skills development
• A friendly, diverse, and values-led team that prioritizes doing meaningful work

We're a pioneer in the Crypto space, supporting builders and communities to co-create a more decentralized and equitable internet.

Our vision is to enable Crypto to build a culture for everyone. We do so by building the underlying infrastructure and investing in projects that foster a fairer and more decentralized world.

We are a diverse, fun-loving, international team of doers, tinkerers, and technology enthusiasts with a diverse set of backgrounds.

As an independent, bootstrapped company, we have the freedom to call our own shots and put our team at the heart of our company.

While we are based in Munich, we are a remote-first company and our team spreads across the whole globe. As such, we regularly meet up at conferences or company retreats to closely knit the team together.

If this sounds like the kind of team you'd thrive in, we'd love to hear from you.
