You will integrate with cryptocurrency wallet and banking service providers, among other services for auth, ledger, payment rails, etc. This is a financial services application with significant complexity, handling real money at scale, internationally.

This is a critically important role on our team. You’ll be working directly with the technical founders to set standards and build a highly performant, reliable, and secure app from the ground up. This role may evolve into a backend or general engineering lead as we scale.
