Full Job Description
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 Platform Engineer who obsesses over correctness and efficiency. Help us build our test harness so we can build faster with confidence. How can we be more efficient? Help us build the internal tools, dev infrastructure, and automation that give a small team the leverage of a big one.

What You'll Do
  • Own the test harness for our core systems-integration tests, formal verification, and chaos testing across the ledger, netting algorithm, money movement, and payment ordering.
  • Build correctness guarantees that let the rest of the team ship faster. If we can prove it's right, we can move with confidence.
  • Design and build internal tools that amplify our productivity.
  • Own CI/CD pipelines, dev environments, and deployment infrastructure. Make the path from code to production fast, safe, and boring.
  • Instrument our systems with observability like logging, tracing, alerting, so we catch problems before our customers do.
  • The dishes.

What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of experience in platform engineering, developer tooling, infrastructure, or reliability engineering.
  • You've built test infrastructure for systems where correctness actually matters: payments, trading, ledgers, or similar.
  • Experience with formal verification, property-based testing, or chaos engineering is a big plus.
  • You have strong opinions about what good internal tooling looks like, and you build it without being asked.
  • 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 work here!

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)

  • Periodic off-sites
