About Turnkey
What is Turnkey?
Turnkey is developer-first infrastructure for private key management — "making it simple to create wallets, sign transactions, and automate on-chain actions through one elegant API, without ever exposing sensitive key material."
The mission is direct: "Our mission is to make strong cryptography the default across the open internet the same way AWS made scalable computing the default for software." The company was founded by the team who scaled Coinbase Custody from zero to a $100M+ ARR business — and "helped protect over $100B in crypto assets."
Turnkey is "tackling crypto security at its foundational level" by building "the trustless, programmable infrastructure that will power the next wave of mass-market crypto applications."
Where will I work?
Turnkey is headquartered in NYC. The team is small and focused — 13 active roles spanning sales, engineering, security, and operations.
What is the Turnkey team like?
Turnkey describes the team as "low-ego, high-agency, and high-autonomy, with a significant amount of combined experience in cryptography, security, and low-level systems." The hiring bar emphasises both technical depth and the ability to operate in uncharted territory — for example, the Account Executive JD looks for someone who can "establish Turnkey's presence in the crypto/fintech market, identifying new verticals and high-value opportunities" while engaging "senior executives at Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, and leading technology firms."
The compensation philosophy is transparent — JDs disclose specific ranges (e.g. $125K–$165K for Account Executive).
Work-Life Balance
Turnkey offers Unlimited PTO with the standard generous-startup benefits package. Combined with multiple team offsites per year and the $3,000 annual learning budget, the rhythm is built for technically-deep work with intentional in-person time.
