VP of Engineering

Accelerating the Web3 transformation journey

Blockchain application development is hard.

Fewer than 1% of developers have experience with this technology but it is increasingly clear that everyone on the planet will be positively impacted in the coming years by blockchain, as meaningful applications are built and adoption increases. SettleMint is here to make blockchain application development easy for developers, by providing the best high-performance low-code platform for blockchain development for enterprise and public sector. We abstract away complexity so developers can devote their time and efforts to building game-changing solutions for a better tomorrow. We are a venture-funded global scale-up, and we recently closed our series-A funding of €16 million, co-led by Molten Ventures and OTB Ventures. We reached a new phase of growth, and we are now going to expand our operations and teams really fast, with clients in financial services, retail, manufacturing, and public institutions across the globe, and offices in Europe (Belgium), MEA (Dubai), India (Delhi), and APAC (Singapore). We work closely with our growing network of partners in all regions enabling them to quickly deliver solutions to their clients. We are a remote-first company, we work async (so you can focus on the actual work) and we empower our team members to take ownership of their work. We hire the best talents in the blockchain space and we trust their ability to do a great 100%! Skills, values alignment, and cultural fit are equally important to us, as they will enable top-performing team members to rapidly grow their careers with us.
