About Spree
Spree is a Web3‑native rewards and commerce network that lets any Web2 brand issue stable‑coin‑denominated points, settle instantly, and unlock composable loyalty across millions of users. Think: Stripe×Air Miles×stablecoins—but open, programmable, and merchant‑agnostic.
About The Role
This is a full-time remote role for a Vice President of Engineering at Spree.Finance. Spree Finance / Engaged Labs has completed the protocol design and early proofs‑of‑concept. What we need now is relentless execution: ship the production stack, harden security, and scale to the first 50 enterprise issuers—all inside a year.
Your Impact
Architecture Owner – Define system boundaries across smart‑contracts, micro‑services, and front‑end gateway; document ADRs and threat‑models.

Security First – Coordinate external audits, run adversarial game‑days, own the vulnerability disclosure program.
Stakeholder Partner – Translate merchant requirements into sprint‑ready epics; work closely with Product, BD, and token‑economics leads.
Talent Magnet – Source, close, and onboard engineers who thrive in ambiguity; champion an inclusive, feedback‑rich culture.
