About Us

Machines will make decisions, move value, and coordinate on behalf of organizations, instantly, autonomously, and at unprecedented scale. But the systems that govern today’s economy weren’t designed for that world. Turnkey is building the infrastructure for this future: programmable guardrails that enable autonomy without sacrificing control.

Founded by the team that scaled Coinbase Custody to $100M+ in ARR and secured more than $100B in crypto assets, we know how to move at pace without ever compromising on security.

Our mission is to help the world operate an economy on autopilot, safely. We're low-ego, high-agency, and deeply technical. Our team consists of experts in cryptography, security, and systems who believe great infrastructure is invisible. We're building the trustless, programmable foundation for the autonomous economy, and we're hiring people who understand what that requires.

We are seeking a Director of Engineering to lead our Product Engineering organization, the team responsible for Turnkey's core product. This spans our TEE- and HSM-based key verification and signing systems, the APIs, SDKs, and interfaces built on top of them, and the infrastructure that makes our security guarantees independently verifiable. This is a senior leadership role reporting to our CTO/Co-Founder Jack Kearney, owning both the technical direction and the people leadership of the org. If you're excited about the potential that web3 has to radically change the world for the better and have a sincere desire to help facilitate that change, join us as we redefine decentralized development.
