Job Description
About Marketnode
Marketnode, an SGX Group and Temasek joint venture, is Asia-Pacific’s trusted and neutral DLT powered financial markets infrastructure (FMI).
At Marketnode, we operate two flagship platforms, Gateway and Fundnode. Gateway is a one-stop, end-to-end platform enabling market participants to accelerate workflows, lower time to market, and capitalise on the transformative potential of tokenisation. Fundnode is Singapore’s investments fund utility on blockchain, providing the funds ecosystem with a single platform for transaction management, funds processing, and record-keeping.
Our company is looking to re-invent the way traditional financial instruments are originated, traded, booked, and serviced with the use of distributed ledger technologies. This goes across Ethereum, Polygon, blockchains and DEX(s) like Uniswap or Aave and would interact with stablecoins, CBDCs or other forms of tokenized money.
Our vision is to build an end-to-end infrastructure for truly native digital assets and their tokenization.
If you are passionate about and interested in the nexus between fintech and capital markets, we would like to talk to you.
This job is based in Singapore.
