Senior Payments Engineer

Role Summary

TL;DR

The next wave of stablecoin adoption is payments. We're building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. We're looking for a Payments Engineer who's obsessed with building fast, reliable, better money movement systems.

About Us: we believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments. We see key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption, and we're going to fix them -- starting with building a clearinghouse. We're a small scrappy team based in NYC, we've raised $10M from a16z Crypto and other excellent partners, and we're here to bring better money to the world.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and scale components of our fiat money movement clearing system.
• Build integrations with banks, stablecoin issuers, custodians, and other partners.
• Design and build core product functionality to enable better stablecoin payments products.
• The dishes.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building deeply with payment systems, financial infrastructure, and/or banking integrations
• You've scaled a payment system from 0-1 and ideally also taken it 1-10.
• Deep understanding of fiat payment rails (ACH, wires, RTP, etc.)
• Strong fundamentals in distributed systems - you balance shipping quickly with building robust systems that can scale.
• You thrive in ambiguity - you view a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership.

Benefits

We're playing the long-game. We think you should too. This means investing in our employees. We offer comprehensive (and growing) benefits, including:

• Competitive salary and equity
• Comprehensive insurance (medical/dental/vision)
• Unlimited vacation: Take time when you need it
• Periodic off-sites
• Daily lunch provided

About the Company

• Be offended by the status quo - a payment taking 3 days and costing 3% is offensive. Every day that people interact with legacy financial infrastructure costs humanity time and money. Bring the future forward with righteous indignation.
• Be all over it - operate with extreme urgency and accountability. Know the numbers, meet the right people, answer every email, go the extra mile. Ask yourself: can it be done today?
• We sell trust - trust is easy to lose. Security and integrity are our foundation. Use every interaction and every product as an opportunity to build trust. This is non-negotiable.
• Do the dishes - we are all owners. Put ego aside and get shit done.
• Be the glue - pick each other up and make each other better. Be direct, be helpful, and assume positive intent. Win as a team.
• We enjoy the crucible! We are on a mission to change money. It takes a lot of optimism to attack such an ambitious goal. Our opportunity is a privilege and we don’t forget that. Especially when the journey is hard.
