Senior Blockchain Engineer

The Discipline ❤️
Our engineering discipline builds the technology that enables MoonPay to learn quickly and scale easily. We organise in small cross-functional squads of 3-5 engineers and an embedded Product Manager, Product Designer and Product Data Analyst. We currently have 3 squads across Payments / Finance, Compliance / Fraud and Core Product / Growth. Over time these squads will split out and we are also building new squads focusing on new revenue streams and product verticals. We’re pragmatic and believe in having fluid structure, this means people can move between teams or specialise.

Tech Stack 💻

• Typescript as our programming language of choice
• Node.JS as our backend platform
• GraphQL & REST for communicating between frontend and backend
• TypeORM, TypeDI, Type-GraphQL and Routing-Controllers as our backend libraries
• Postgres as our core database
• AWS

What you’ll do 👀

• Take ownership of MoonPay’s native crypto stack. This is a new area for us and you’ll be owning the architecture and implementation from day one.
• Build lightweight hot wallets to handle Ethereum key generation and outbound transfers to our customers.
• Work with Ethereum layer 2 scaling solutions like Polygon (Matic) and zkSync to offer layer 2 ETH assets to our customers.
• Work on other innovative blockchains where few have ventured such as Flow.
• Work with Product Managers to come up with the best solutions and implementation plans for new features or changes to existing ones.
• Contribute to the estimations, planning and execution of projects, features, and integrations.
• Write fully tested, high quality and performant code.

As a Senior you will be expected to:

• Mentor and coach Engineers.
• Champion the writing of high quality code.
• Contribute to our overall approach and standards within the Engineering discipline.
• Lead squads from an Engineering perspective, partnering closely with Product Managers.

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have solid experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.
