At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.
Founded in 2017, Anchorage Digital is a regulated crypto platform that provides institutions with integrated financial services and infrastructure solutions. With the first federally chartered crypto bank in the US, Anchorage Digital offers institutions an unparalleled combination of secure custody, regulatory compliance, product breadth, and client service. We’re looking to diversify our team with people who are humble, creative, and eager to learn.
We are a remote friendly, global team, but provide the option of working in-office in New York City, Sioux Falls, Porto, Lisbon, and Singapore. For our colleagues not located near our beautiful offices, we encourage and sponsor quarterly in-person collaboration days to work together and further deepen our Village.

You are a strong individual contributor and you have the ability to significantly contribute to and execute moderate major Corporate Engineering projects, enabled with appropriate scripting and automation. You are capable of independently owning and solving day to day IT help desk troubleshooting, onboarding and offboarding logistics. You can understand the “why” in order to connect dependencies to the “bigger picture” and Anchorage mission and product roadmap.
