Ava Labs

An FDE function at the blockchain layer: the Avalanche team ships bespoke node/validator/custody solutions for a handful of regulated financial institutions — weeks of heads-down build between syncs, not a meeting-heavy CS cadence. $143K–$179K + token + equity, fully remote, and the JD openly scopes the hire as a future 'FDE #2,' signalling a small, still-forming field org.
