Job description

About MoonPay

MoonPay is for builders with something to prove. This isn't a \"work on cool crypto stuff\" company. It's a high-standards, high-velocity, high-accountability company building the operating system for value movement. If the internet moves information, we move value: crypto, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and whatever comes next. Four offerings make that real: fund, tokenize, trade, and spend. 30M+ customers and 500+ ecosystem partners run on us. Licensed in the U.S. Regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.

AI is the default operating mode here. It's woven into every role, and we expect you to use it daily. It handles the manual work so you can deliver on what actually matters.

You'll thrive here if outcomes excite you more than process, if impact motivates you more than titles, and if you want hard problems, real ownership, and teammates who love winning, building, and doing it together.

The bar is high. The pace is real. We're building for what's next, for humans and agents.

Recent recognition:

• Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers 2026 .


• 2nd in Crypto Services on Fortune's inaugural Crypto 100


• The Sunday Times Best Places to Work two years running

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have 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 that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learned, diversity cannot.

What You Will Be Working With/on…

The Product Security team operates within a cutting-edge technological environment and focuses on several critical areas to ensure the highest level of security for our platform and products.

• Modern Tech Stack and Infrastructure: We leverage an advanced cloud infrastructure designed for high scalability and resilience. Our development and deployment processes are built upon robust CI/CD environments, necessitating security integration at every stage, from code commit to production deployment. This involves securing containers, serverless components, and sophisticated cloud-native networking configurations.


• Scalable Automation Frameworks: To effectively manage security risks across a rapidly expanding codebase and infrastructure, we utilize and develop both custom-built and industry-standard tools for vulnerability management. This includes automated security testing, dependency scanning, misconfiguration detection, and streamlined vulnerability triage and remediation workflows, all designed to operate effectively at scale.

This includes comprehensive penetration testing (both internal and external), in-depth threat modeling during the design phase of new features, security architecture reviews, and the development of secure coding standards. These services are provided across a wide variety of applications and business lines, from core financial services to new user-facing products.


• Continuous Improvement and Security Posture Enhancement: We maintain a strong commitment to the principle of continuous improvement. This involves constantly exploring and identifying opportunities to level up the security posture across the entire organization. This includes enhancing tooling, refining processes, developing and delivering security training to engineering teams, and driving large-scale security initiatives.


• Secure Development Lifecycle Guidance: A core responsibility is to guide engineering teams on adopting best practices for the secure development and deployment of their applications.
