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.

Talent Partner - Tech

About The Opportunity

MoonPay is looking for an experienced Talent Partner to help us build exceptional teams across Engineering, Data and Security.

Technical hiring here is fast-moving, competitive and rarely straightforward. You’ll own searches end-to-end, working closely with hiring managers to understand what they really need, find the right talent and keep hiring moving. We’re looking for someone who knows their market, has strong opinions backed by data, and isn’t afraid to rethink the approach when a search isn’t working.

This is a hands-on role with plenty of ownership. You’ll source, advise, problem-solve and close, while helping us continuously improve how we hire. AI should already be part of your recruiting toolkit, and we’ll expect you to keep experimenting with how it can make your work smarter and more effective.

What you will do

• Own end-to-end hiring across Engineering, Data and Security, from kicking off a search and mapping the market through to assessment, offer and close.
• Partner closely with hiring managers and technical leaders to understand their teams, define what great looks like and build hiring strategies that work.
• Find exceptional technical talent in competitive markets through proactive sourcing, talent mapping and creative search strategies.
• Bring data and market insight into hiring conversations, spotting where searches are getting stuck and changing the approach when something isn’t working.
• Use AI across sourcing, screening, research, market mapping and reporting, constantly looking for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of your work.
• Make hiring at MoonPay better. Share what works, challenge what doesn’t, and contribute to improvements across our processes, tooling and ways of working.

About You

• Significant experience recruiting technical talent within fast-moving technology or product organisations, with a track record of delivering against challenging searches in competitive talent markets.
• Deep technical recruiting experience across Software Engineering, Data, AI and/or Security. Product and Design recruitment experience is highly beneficial.
• Strong sourcing and talent‑mapping skills, with the ability to get beyond the obvious candidate pool and find great people others might miss.
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a high level of ownership. Data-driven, curious and focused on quality, efficiency and continuous improvement. Confident influencing hiring managers and challenging thinking when needed.
• Strong practical use of AI in recruiting, plus a deep understanding of cryptocurrency and financial technology. Able to demonstrate how AI has improved your work and speak credibly about the crypto ecosystem and where it’s heading.

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.
