Privacy-enabled blockchain infrastructure for financial institutions
Digital Asset builds Canton Network, a layer-one blockchain designed for institutional finance with native privacy controls. The tech stack—Scala, Haskell, Kubernetes, Daml, plus AWS/GCP/Azure across security (HSM, KMS, SAST/DAST)—reflects a systems-heavy engineering organization focused on cryptographic correctness and compliance. Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering and product (46 of 66 roles) with strong senior/principal-level bench, while sales velocity is decelerating—typical for a maturing B2B infrastructure play shifting from founder-led deals to repeatable motion.

Digital Asset, founded in 2014 and headquartered in New York, develops Canton Network and related distributed ledger infrastructure for financial institutions. The product surface includes Daml (a smart contract and workflow language), protocol design for multi-party settlement, asset tokenization capabilities, and SDK/API layers for integration. The engineering org spans Scala, Haskell, TypeScript, and Go; deployment and governance tooling are active development areas. Teams span seven countries (Canada, UK, Switzerland, Hungary, China, Australia, Singapore), with documented pain points around developer onboarding friction, institutional adoption barriers, and five-nines reliability requirements in real-time settlement workflows.
Scala, Haskell, Kubernetes, Daml, TypeScript, React, Go, Java, Python across compute; GCP, AWS, Azure for cloud; PostgreSQL and Oracle for data; Grafana for observability; Docker, Helm, Pulumi for infrastructure; Hardware Security Module and AWS KMS for key management.
Seven: Canada, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hungary, China, Australia, and Singapore. Headquarters is New York.
