The Platform team is the foundation of GoMining’s ecosystem. It owns the services that every product depends on — custody, KYC, compliance, core application components, and platform reliability.
As Head of Platform, you will own this domain end-to-end. You will define the platform strategy, lead a cross-functional engineering organization, establish engineering standards, and ensure the platform remains secure, scalable, and highly available.
This is a hands-on leadership role requiring a combination of technical expertise, product ownership, and operational excellence.

- Ensure secure asset storage, withdrawals, deposits, and fund movements.
- Improve operational reliability across wallet infrastructure.
Compliance Platform
- Own KYC, Travel Rule, and compliance-related platform capabilities.
- Work closely with Legal and Compliance teams to ensure regulatory readiness, including MiCA requirements.
