Company · Careers
We're a small, senior team holding other people's assets. The work is exacting, the trust is real, and the controls apply to us too.
Working here
holdway is a team where everyone is senior, everyone ships, and nobody works unsupervised on anything that touches client assets. Those two facts go together.
We'll be honest about the parts that aren't for everyone. Every hire passes a background check before touching production. Dual control shapes daily work: sensitive actions need a second named person, which means asking, waiting, and being asked in return. Operations and engineering share a 24/7 on-call rotation — it is compensated, scheduled fairly, and quiet by design, but it is real. If you've read our security model and it reads like how you already think, you'll be at home here.
How we work
We work remote-first across EU and US time zones — the same geographic distribution that protects our key shards protects our on-call coverage.
A few times a year we meet in person for planned onsites, usually anchored to a key ceremony: generating or rotating key material is done together, from a written runbook, with named participants. The rest of the time we work in writing. Decisions get documents, incidents get reports, and runbooks get updated by the person who last used them. It's how a team like ours stays coherent across nine time zones.
Benefits
Strong pay and a short benefits list — we don't decorate roles with perks nobody redeems.
Open roles
Five roles are open today. Apply with a short note and a CV or profile link to careers@holdway.xyz — put the role title in the subject line.
No current match? Write anyway. We keep a short list of people we want to work with, and several past hires started as an unsolicited email to careers@holdway.xyz.
Hiring process
Every candidate gets the same process, a named point of contact, and a decision — not silence. We aim to go from first call to offer in roughly 15 working days.
One thing we will never do: ask you to handle real keys, real client data, or real funds at any point in the process. Work samples run against test fixtures only. If anyone claiming to be holdway asks otherwise, stop and email security@holdway.xyz.
