Are you ready to shape the future of capital markets? We are looking for a hands-on Head of Engineering - Digital Assets to own our technical architecture, set the engineering bar, and lead the build as a player-coach. You will join the CEDS Digital Asset team. The position will be based in Paris, and start as soon as possible. You will report to the CTO Digital Assets.
You will architect the platform behind Euronext’s first tokenised offerings. The role spans two live programmes already in design:
Both are built on the same conviction: the token is the financial instrument (no wrapper), one ISIN means one ledger, and the CSD drives tokenisation. You will turn these principles into a concrete, secure and auditable architecture.
Join a company where market infrastructure is built on innovation — and where every innovation starts with a bold mind asking, “What’s next?”. At Euronext, we believe change is a starting point, not an obstacle. We look for people who see growth opportunities, think long term, and want to help shape capital markets for future generations. Working with us means: • Being part of a European, international and diverse team – Collaborate across borders with talented colleagues connected by a shared ambition and purpose. • Learning as you grow – Develop your skills through continuous learning, real responsibilities and flexible career paths that evolve with you. • Having an impact – Contribute to projects that matter, in an agile and dynamic environment where your ideas help drive progress. • Driving sustainability – Play an active role in building transparent, responsible and sustainable capital markets for the long term. Together, we don’t just support markets — we help shape their future.
