ABOUT THE TEAM
The Wallet Flows team is leading a strategic transformation of Fireblocks' core infrastructure. We're methodically redesigning and rewriting major system components to create next-generation architecture that enhances security, scalability, and performance.
Our team blends industry veterans and rising talent, united by excellence and a results-driven mindset. We value seasoned expertise alongside fresh perspectives, fostering an environment where pragmatic solutions and innovation thrive together.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer with a strong blockchain foundation. In this role, you will work across the entire stack from user-facing interfaces to backend services and on-chain integrations to build and evolve the systems that power institutional digital asset operations.
You will serve as a technical bridge between raw blockchain capabilities and the polished wallet experiences delivered to customers. This means diving into protocol-level details one day and refining a transaction workflow UI the next. Your blockchain expertise will directly inform how we design, build, and ship features that handle billions in transaction volume.
- Design and build end-to-end features across frontend, backend, and blockchain layers that power Fireblocks' wallet infrastructure
- Architect and deliver mission-critical components while maintaining 24/7 operations with zero disruption to live transaction volume
- Research and integrate blockchain technologies including Layer 2 solutions, cross-chain bridges, staking protocols, and DeFi integrations into the Fireblocks platform
- Develop intuitive, responsive interfaces that surface complex blockchain operations in a clear and actionable way for institutional users
- Collaborate with blockchain foundations, vendors, builders, and customers to understand protocol design, tooling, and integration requirements
- Balance pragmatism with vision - make smart trade-offs to deliver incremental value while steadily advancing toward next-generation architecture goals
- Collaborate with product, engineering, and security teams to define technical requirements and deliver cohesive solutions
- Mentor and guide other engineers on blockchain technologies, full stack patterns, and best practices
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 5+ years of full stack development experience with modern frontend frameworks (TypeScript) and backend services (Go, or Python)
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in the blockchain ecosystem — working with protocols, on-chain data, smart contracts, or wallet infrastructure
- Knowledge of consensus mechanisms, cryptographic primitives, and distributed systems
- Strong understanding of microservices architecture, API design, and modern frontend patterns
- Demonstrated ability to apply AI tools for programming with experience in vibe coding
- Strong verbal and written communication skills and a collaborative mindset
- Experience working in cross-functional teams and fast-paced environments
- A curious mind, willing to learn, including new coding languages and tech stacks.
PREFERRED
- Experience building blockchain solutions for enterprise or institutional use cases
- Understanding of security best practices for smart contracts and blockchain systems
- Experience with MPC, multi-signature wallets, or other advanced cryptographic techniques
- Experience with institutional DeFi, staking protocols, or custody solutions
- Experience modernizing and transforming mission-critical production systems with minimal disruption
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; Master's degree preferred
SUCCESS CRITERIA & IMPACT
- You deliver features end-to-end — from UI to on-chain integration — with high quality and minimal iteration
- Your blockchain expertise is consistently leveraged as a foundation for architectural and product decisions
- You are considered a subject matter expert by internal engineering teams across both application and protocol layers
- Consistent contribution to the Fireblocks platform by pushing impactful design and code to production
For employees hired to work from our NYC HQ, Fireblocks is required by law to include a reasonable estimate of the compensation range for this role.

It is not typical for a candidate to be hired at or near the top of the pay range and each compensation decision is dependent on each individual case. A reasonable base salary range estimate for this position is $177,000 to $230,000. The base salary is one component of the total compensation package, which for some roles may include a target bonus, a very competitive equity grant, and very generous benefits. While we believe competitive compensation is a critical aspect of you deciding to join us, we do hope you also spend time considering why our mission and culture are right for you. We are creating something transformational here, and we hope you are as excited about the future as we are.

Which companies sponsor visas for blockchain engineers in New York?
New York's most active H-1B sponsors for blockchain and distributed systems roles include large financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, crypto-native companies like Gemini and Chainalysis, and enterprise technology firms with significant New York offices. Consulting firms such as Accenture and Deloitte also file labor condition applications for blockchain engineering roles in the state on a regular basis.
Which visa types are most common for blockchain engineer roles in New York?
The H-1B is the most common visa for blockchain engineers in New York, as the role typically requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, information systems, or a related field, meeting the specialty occupation standard. Some employers also sponsor O-1 visas for engineers with demonstrable recognition in the field. Candidates on F-1 OPT or STEM OPT extension can often begin employment before H-1B sponsorship is initiated.
How to find blockchain engineer visa sponsorship jobs in New York?
Migrate Mate filters blockchain engineer jobs in New York by verified visa sponsorship history, so you can focus on employers who have actually filed H-1B petitions for this role rather than guessing from job descriptions. Search by role and state on Migrate Mate to see active listings from New York-based companies across finance, crypto, and enterprise technology that have a documented track record of sponsoring international engineers.
Which cities in New York have the most blockchain engineer sponsorship jobs?
Manhattan accounts for the large majority of blockchain engineer sponsorship activity in New York, driven by its concentration of financial services firms, fintech startups, and technology consultancies. New York City's outer boroughs, particularly Brooklyn, host a growing number of Web3 and crypto-focused employers. Albany and Buffalo have comparatively limited blockchain engineering opportunities, making New York City the practical target for sponsored roles in this field.
Are there state-specific considerations for blockchain engineers seeking visa sponsorship in New York?
New York employers filing labor condition applications for blockchain engineers must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for the relevant SOC occupation code, which you can verify using the OFLC Wage Search tool. New York's financial services regulatory environment means many blockchain roles at banks and trading firms involve compliance-adjacent work, which can affect how employers classify and petition for the position. Columbia, NYU, and Cornell Tech also generate a pipeline of F-1 graduates seeking H-1B sponsorship in this field.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored blockchain engineer jobs in New York?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
