Job Description

About us
 
Aave Labs began with a simple question: how do we make financial services like borrowing, saving, and earning more accessible globally?
 
We built the Aave Protocol, now the world’s largest and most trusted onchain lending market, connecting decentralized finance with individuals, traditional finance, and fintech.
 
Today, we build trusted, high-quality products that expand access to lending, credit, and savings globally
 
Our culture
 
We build trusted products that help people access and discover economic opportunities.
 
We hold a high bar for quality and craftsmanship. No detail is too small. Trust depends on it.
 
We’re a global team building products people can actually use, turning complex technology into something simple and reliable.
 
We stay aligned, move quickly, and think long term, while keeping teams lean and focused on impact.
 
About the Role

We're hiring a Principal Backend Engineer to lead the engineering team behind Push, Aave Labs' regulated, non-custodial on-ramp and off-ramp.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role spanning the systems that connect banking and open-banking partners, identity and compliance controls, payment processing, blockchain settlement, customer wallets, and the applications through which customers access Push.

You'll set the technical direction for a high-stakes financial product where correctness, security, auditability, and operational resilience directly affect customer funds and regulatory obligations. Alongside designing and building critical systems, you'll provide day-to-day leadership to the engineering team, create clarity from product and regulatory requirements, and ensure the team can deliver safely at pace.
