The bigger picture
Not everyone gets to witness the birth of a new technology or industry. Not every startup has the luck of riding a major global trend. And not every generation experiences an industrial revolution.
Some of us are old enough to remember the rise of the Internet in the 90s. Others only heard stories about the DotCom boom and wished they had been there.
Today, crypto is that wave. It’s one of those rare shifts that reshapes society forever. And Dfns is a proud contributor.

Trillions of dollars
We expect that by 2027, according to a World Economic Forum study, each engineer will be responsible for 10 billion dollars.
Let that sink in.
The other side of the coin
Our company isn’t perfect. We’re not great at:
Babysitting people.
Taking it easy and going with the flow.
Planning more than a few months ahead.
Making exceptions to rules.
Because of this, we sometimes miss out on talented people who prefer a more traditional structure. That’s the trade-off. It’s not something we plan to change, but it’s worth being clear about the limitation we’ve chosen for ourselves.
No openings for now, please check back in a few days!
Dfns is the leading Wallets-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform, helping fintechs, institutions, and enterprises simplify digital asset management and securely onboard users onchain.
Its API-first wallet platform unifies transaction management, workflow governance, key deployment, and third-party integrations into one secure operating system for blockchains. Built on advanced security and cryptography, Dfns is trusted by over 200 financial institutions and applications—including ABN AMRO, Broadridge, Fidelity, Zodia Custody, Banca Sella, Stripe, Moonpay, Circle, IBM, Deblock, and Gemini—and secures over $3 billion in monthly transactions.
Founded in 2020, Dfns has raised $30 million from global investors such as White Star Capital, Motive Partners, Bpifrance, Coinbase, Wintermute, and Susquehanna. Originally incubated by Techstars and Station F in Paris, Dfns now operates globally with teams across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
A well-known tech company once claimed that “no one loves process, they drive talent out.” We disagree. At Dfns, we believe process is what enables people to achieve remarkable work and push the limits of what's possible today.
Civilization itself was built on process, ceremonies, routines, discipline, and shared frameworks. The Seven Wonders of the World could not have been realized without process. The Roman Empire expanded across Europe and laid the foundations of globalization not through talent alone, but through the rigor of process.
We seek to work with people who understand this truth: process is not the enemy of innovation, it is the foundation that makes innovation endure.
Dfns is a remote-first company, offering every team member the flexibility to work from home, while traveling, or from our offices in Paris and New York.
We also believe in the importance of human connection. Teams regularly meet in person through retreats and events, including conferences hosted in global hubs from Miami to Hong Kong.
To support personal and professional development, we provide on-demand access to training and coursework in finance, blockchain, security, cryptography, programming, and other fields.
All employees receive corporate equipment on their first day, including MacBooks and essential accessories such as monitors, headsets, AirPods, and cables, ensuring a seamless start from day one.
Finally, we take pride in our protective culture and strive to export it, offering prepaid healthcare, retirement plans, childcare support, and other benefits that care about what's precious in life.
