Project Engineer leading multidisciplinary teams managing aircraft - engine modules and systems. Pratt & Whitney Canada designs and manufactures aerospace engines for global aviation markets.
About the role
- Senior Forward Deployed Engineer at Ava Labs designing bespoke solutions for institutional partners on the Avalanche blockchain. Collaborate with high-profile customers and lead technical delivery.
Responsibilities
- Own FDE technical delivery across a named set of institutional partners — designing the architecture across the entire Avalanche stack (node / validator setup, failover procedures, interoperability, …) from partner ask to working output
- Pair with Enterprise Go-to-Market on active POCs to close the gap between commercial requirements and production-grade technical solutions
- Represent Avalanche credibly in partner-facing technical settings: sit across from Directors of Engineering at financial institutions and translate bespoke asks into scoped requirements without losing the strategic frame
- Engage in depth, not volume — most weeks are heads-down implementation work punctuated by focused technical syncs, not a meeting-heavy customer-success cadence
- Work hands-on across the Avalanche stack: AvalancheGo, EVM, Interchain Messaging, and validator infrastructure
- Design and implement solutions that operate within the constraints regulated institutions actually run: KMS/HSM remote signing, audit trails, restricted-peer networking, backup/restore procedures, firewall topologies
- Respond to security assessment requests and technical diligence from institutional partners
- Contribute to and maintain the developer tooling and SDK surface owned by FDE. This is the same tooling that underpins partner deployments and the broader Avalanche ecosystem
- Harden, extend, and document tooling driven by recurring institutional requirements, so that the next partner inherits a more capable platform than the last
- Treat tooling work and partner delivery as a single loop: lessons from each engagement land back in the shared surface
- Identify when a one-off partner solution should become a reusable FDE artifact and drive that abstraction
- Build and maintain runbooks, technical documentation, and the FDE Protocol Requests database (Notion-tracked)
- Accelerate conversion timelines for subsequent regulated partners by compounding the institutional playbook with each engagement
- Shadow and contribute to the most complex active engagements early, internalizing the institutional playbook in context
- Take primary FDE ownership of named partners as ramp completes, reducing concentration risk on the team
- Operate as a credible future #2 within FDE, exhibiting mentorship, end-to-end scope ownership, and comfort representing the function externally
Requirements
- Hands-on depth across the Avalanche (or a comparable L1/L2) stack
- AI-native execution, proven ability to leverage modern coding assistants and agentic tooling to produce production-grade output at speed
- Customer-facing maturity in enterprise or institutional settings; comfortable representing technical depth to senior engineering stakeholders at regulated financial institutions
- Strong documentation and operational discipline: you close loops, build runbooks, and maintain the tracked artifacts FDE's institutional partners depend on
- Pattern abstraction instinct, you recognize when a bespoke partner solution should be generalized and you drive that productization
Benefits
- Token and Equity Package
