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.

What You'll Do:

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.

What We're Looking For:

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.

Our Values:

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.

If these values speak to you, come talk to us!

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

Equal Opportunity Employment:

The Better Money Company is an equal opportunity employer. We are looking for the best!
