Meet The Team Securing On-Chain Finance

Fordefi sits at a critical inflection point in the market. Institutions are no longer experimenting with crypto. They are rebuilding financial rails on-chain, and that requires infrastructure that is secure, policy-driven, and scalable.

Fordefi enables institutions to move from holding assets to actively using them across DeFi, payments, tokenisation, and on-chain finance workflows.


Backed by Paxos, Fordefi combines scale-up pace with institutional credibility.

Opportunity Meets Timing

Fordefi combines a high-performance, ownership-driven culture with a globally remote team anchored in New York and Tel Aviv. Backed by Paxos and scaling into a rapidly maturing institutional market, this is a rare moment where impact, growth, and opportunity align. For ambitious operators, now is the time to join.

Fordefi combines high standards with a strong sense of ownership and trust. The team is made up of thoughtful, execution-focused operators who are naturally curious about crypto and motivated by building real infrastructure, not chasing cycles. Responsibility is real, hierarchy is light, and performance matters. 

It’s a culture where independent thinkers thrive, ideas are encouraged, and collaboration across a globally distributed team is intentional and valued.

Fordefi operates with core hubs in New York and Tel Aviv, combining strong in-person foundations with a decentralised, globally distributed team. Product and engineering are anchored in Tel Aviv, while leadership and go-to-market span key international markets. Despite this geographic spread, the culture is intentionally connected, with regular in-person gatherings and close cross-functional collaboration. No one operates as a satellite office — wherever you are based, you are part of the core team.

To ensure a thorough and structured hiring process, Axiom will review all applications directly. Our experienced team will screen and interview relevant candidates against the key role criteria before presenting a shortlist to Fordefi.

Fordefi will then conduct its internal interview process, typically consisting of three to four conversations with key team members and decision-makers.

Axiom will manage the process end-to-end and remain your primary point of contact throughout.

Joining Fordefi now means entering at a defining moment. Backed by Paxos and positioned at the centre of institutional adoption, the company is scaling as financial markets move on-chain. As regulation strengthens and large institutions accelerate their digital asset strategies, demand for secure, policy-driven infrastructure is rising. This is an opportunity to grow with a business expanding globally, take real ownership, and build a career at the forefront of institutional on-chain finance.
