Privacy-enabled blockchain infrastructure and smart contract platform
Digital Asset operates a privacy-focused blockchain platform (Canton Network) built on Daml, a domain-specific language designed for multi-party workflows on distributed ledgers. The stack reflects a systems-heavy engineering culture: Scala, Haskell, TypeScript, Kubernetes, and observability tooling (Datadog, Jaeger, Grafana) dominate, with minimal SaaS adoption beyond Salesforce and Jira. Hiring is skewed toward senior engineers and principals (31 of 45 open roles), and pain points cluster around distributed-systems challenges (five-nines reliability, protocol privacy, API security) and developer friction (onboarding, support tickets) — suggesting infrastructure maturity work rather than early-stage feature shipping.
Notable leadership hires: Director of Sales, Director of Engineering
Digital Asset builds Canton Network, a privacy-enabled layer one blockchain infrastructure, and Daml, a smart contract and workflow language designed for real-world asset settlement and tokenization. The company serves financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprises seeking 24/7 transaction capability with privacy controls. Founded in 2014 and based in New York, Digital Asset operates as a founding member of the Global Synchronizer Foundation. Current product roadmap includes collateral management, asset tokenization, stablecoin infrastructure, and SDK improvements to reduce developer friction. Engineering and product dominate the org structure, with modest sales and support presence.
Daml (proprietary smart contract language), Scala, Haskell, TypeScript, Java, Go, Python, and JavaScript. Daml is the core smart contract and workflow tool.
Headquarters in New York. Active recruiting in China, Switzerland, Canada, United Kingdom, and Hungary.
