M0 Labs - Issuance Engineering Lead

M0 is the shared infrastructure where businesses launch their own branded stablecoins and financial institutions power them. Built on a common standard, every stablecoin on M0 is interoperable and liquid from day one - giving businesses programmable control over how money moves in their ecosystems, and giving financial institutions the most advanced issuance stack in the industry.

M0 is seeking an Issuance Engineering Lead who will play a fundamental role in shaping the future of our organization. As Issuance Engineering Lead, you will own the smart contract and backend systems that power M0 stablecoin issuance across EVM and non-EVM chains (Solana and others). 

You will lead and build out the team responsible for making issuance fast, safe, and capital-efficient — from on-chain programs to the backend systems, APIs, and UIs that sit on top of them. The ideal candidate is a self-driven engineering lead with strong ownership instincts and a bias for action, equally comfortable in EVM and non-EVM environments, who brings substantial expertise across blockchain applications and infrastructure and thrives in fast-paced settings.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Build and lead a high-caliber engineering team delivering on-chain programs and backend services.

• Architect and ship smart contracts across EVM and non-EVM chains (Solana and others) with a high bar for precision and safety.

• Mentor engineers and set the technical direction for the issuance stack.

• Drive code and design reviews, raising the quality bar across the team.

• Prepare codebases for third-party audits with comprehensive tests, invariants, AI-assisted review, and fuzz testing harnesses.

Compensation:

• Competitive compensation (base salary with equity/ token grant) commensurate with experience.

Benefits:

• Global team and flexibility: Join a truly global team with the flexibility to work remotely or from one of our hubs in NYC or Berlin.

• Health and wellness: Enjoy comprehensive healthcare insurance coverage as well as a wellbeing allowance and gym membership to support your physical and mental health.

• Customizable IT setup: Tailor your workspace with access to top-notch IT equipment.

• Professional development: Benefit from an annual development budget to enhance your skills and grow professionally, including opportunities to participate in conferences and on-site company events worldwide.
