Why This Role ExistsWe have a strong engineering team with deep expertise in infrastructure, blockchain, and specialized domains. We are looking for a product engineer who can own product features from concept to deployment - someone who can rapidly iterate on ideas, ship independently, and help us accelerate our product adoption.
You'd be joining a small engineering team and directly reporting to the CTO in a greenfield-heavy environment where your work directly affects velocity, company direction, and revenue.
What You'll Do- Own features end-to-end from product discussion and design to implementation and launch.
- Build greenfield products for issuers and distribution partners. This is 90%+ of your focus.
- Ship fast and iterate. Test ideas quickly, get them in front of users, and learn from the feedback.
- Leverage AI. Use AI tools to accelerate your development workflow. Stay critical.
- Work across the stack - backend (Elixir/Phoenix + REST APIs) and frontend (TypeScript/Next.js). AWS infrastructure.
RequirementsExperience- 7-10 years of professional software engineering experience
- Strong full-stack capability - You're comfortable building and shipping independently from concept to production.
- Demonstrated ability to own and deliver product features without heavy hand-holding
- Strong communication with non technical stakeholders
- Strong engineering leadership skills, including mentoring engineers, providing technical guidance and feedback, driving technical decision-making, and effectively managing stakeholder relationships.
Technical Skills- Backend: Working knowledge of Elixir/Phoenix or equivalent backend framework experience
- Frontend: TypeScript + modern frameworks (Next.js preferred)
- APIs: Experience building and consuming REST APIs
- Fundamentals: Strong grasp of system design, data structures, and clean code principles
How You Work- You're AI-fluent. You integrate AI tools into your daily workflow naturally (not for token-burning, just for moving faster).
- You're product-minded. You care about what you're building and why, not just how.
- You're independent but collaborative. You can move fast on your own and know when to loop others in.
- You're comfortable with ambiguity. You don't need perfect requirements to start building.
- You have strong written communication, which is especially important in a distributed, remote-first team.
Other Preferred Qualifications- Prior experience in fintech or crypto
- Production experience with Elixir/Phoenix or Next.js
- Experience building for issuers, distribution platforms, or marketplace-style products
- Startup or early-stage company experience
Remote & Timezone- Fully remote
- We're based primarily on the US East Coast, with some team members in Europe
- You should be comfortable overlapping reasonable hours with Eastern Time
BenefitsBase Salary: $180,000 - $195,000 (based on experience and jurisdiction)
Equity: CoinList is a high-growth startup, and equity is a significant part of your total compensation.
Benefits:- Medical, dental, and vision at no monthly cost (US only)
- Unlimited PTO
- Monthly AI tool budget
