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.
Responsibilities
Platform Ownership
- Own the Platform domain as an internal product serving multiple product teams.
- Define the platform strategy, roadmap, priorities, and success metrics.
- Drive platform scalability, reliability, and engineering excellence.
Custody & Financial Infrastructure
- Own custody infrastructure, including Fireblocks, Uphold, and similar providers.
- 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.
- Improve verification flows and customer onboarding performance.
Platform Reliability
- Define and maintain platform SLA and uptime targets.
- Establish incident management, monitoring, and operational excellence processes.
- Improve deployment reliability and platform resilience.
Engineering Leadership
- Lead a cross-functional platform team.
- Mentor engineers and technical leads.
- Drive architectural decisions and engineering standards.
- Build a strong engineering culture focused on quality and ownership.
Cross-functional Collaboration
- Work closely with Product, Engineering, Security, Compliance, and Operations teams.
- Introduce and scale inner-source engineering practices across product teams.
- Support strategic platform initiatives and future technology migrations.
Success Metrics
- Platform uptime and SLA.
- KYC pass rate.
- Time-to-deposit.
- Time-to-withdraw.
- Platform stability and incident reduction.
- Engineering velocity and platform adoption across product teams.
Requirements

What We Do
At GoMining, we’re building a Bitcoin-centric superapp and web3 ecosystem — a gateway to earn, engage, and expand your exposure to BTC in entirely new ways. Mining remains our foundation. But our ambition reaches far beyond. Over the past year, we’ve started layering experiences that connect users more deeply with the Bitcoin economy: 🔹 Miner Wars — the world’s first GameFi mining strategy, letting players compete, strategize, and influence real Bitcoin rewards. 🔹 Virtual + debit cards (coming soon) — bringing daily BTC utility to the mainstream. 🔹 A Bitcoin rewards marketplace — turn hashrate earnings into real-world value. 🔹 BTCFi launchpad — early access to Bitcoin-native projects, with allocation rights tied to actual hashrate ownership. We’ve also hit major milestones on the way: ✅ 4,170+ BTC mined ✅ 3,389,230 total registered app users And we’re just getting started. From real mining infrastructure to GameFi, mining rewards, and Bitcoin-powered financial tools — we’re reimagining what it means to interact with Bitcoin. Seamlessly. Strategically. Globally. If you’re a forward-thinker with a passion for blockchain, crypto, and decentralized tech — we’d love to connect. Explore open roles and help us shape the next chapter of Bitcoin.
