Bitpanda is a Vienna-based fintech platform serving 7+ million customers across Europe, enabling investment in cryptocurrencies, crypto indices, stocks, precious metals, and commodities. The company is building Vision Chain, an OP Stack Layer 2 blockchain designed to bring regulated finance onchain, creating a premier ecosystem for European financial institutions to issue and distribute euro-denominated tokenized assets.
You will own Vision Chain as a product at the infrastructure level, serving as the technical foundation for Bitpanda's onchain products. Reporting to the Head of Web3 Product as an individual contributor within a small, senior team, you will drive the chain's evolution and ensure it meets the needs of both financial institutions and developers.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning Vision Chain infrastructure configuration (fee mechanisms, block building logic, OP Stack modifications) in collaboration with OP Labs
- Managing infrastructure partnerships and technical relationships with providers (RPC nodes, indexing, oracles, etc.)
- Collaborating with Compliance and Legal teams to implement regulatorily-compliant onchain transaction screening, identity, and privacy solutions
- Running reliability, incident management, and cost optimization; owning developer documentation and partner technical onboarding
- Coordinating with other Vision Web3 product leads to align the chain's technical roadmap with product roadmap priorities
You will work in a hybrid model with flexibility to work remotely, plus 25 additional days per year to work from a city or country of your choice. The role offers competitive total compensation aligned with Bitpanda's pay-for-impact policy, including stock options, mental health support, unlimited Udemy access, and other benefits.
Requirements:
- 6+ years of product or engineering experience, with 3+ years focused on blockchain infrastructure (L1/L2, rollup-as-a-service, node infrastructure, account abstraction, or exchange protocol teams)
- Deep understanding of EVM rollup mechanics: sequencing, fees, proofs, withdrawals, bridges, upgrade keys, and account abstraction
- Proven ability to translate complex business and regulatory needs into precise technical requirements and drive delivery through engineering teams and external partners without direct management authority
- Experience partnering with Compliance, Legal, and Data Protection teams; working knowledge of EU crypto regulatory landscape (MiCA, DORA, AML/CFT, sanctions screening)
- Exceptional written and spoken English communication skills for internal teams, leadership, and external partners
