Job description

About Bridge

Bridge is building a new payments platform powered by stablecoins to make global money movement simpler, faster, and more accessible. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders, give customers access to dollars through virtual accounts, and disburse USD globally.

Who we are

Bridge is building a new payments platform powered by stablecoins to make global money movement simpler, faster, and more accessible. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders, give customers access to dollars through virtual accounts, and disburse USD globally.

We believe stablecoin rails will become a foundational part of financial infrastructure, moving and settling trillions of dollars worldwide. Bridge is helping bring that future forward.

Our team has built financial infrastructure at companies including Coinbase, Stripe, Square, Brex, Upstart, DoorDash, and Airbnb. We are united by the conviction that stablecoins can materially improve how money moves around the world.

What you’ll do

• Build and ship end-to-end product experiences across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, and data systems.


• Design reliable, performant, and intuitive interfaces for developers, operations teams, and end users interacting with Bridge products.


• Develop and maintain the APIs and backend systems that power global payments, virtual accounts, and payouts.


• Own projects from technical design through launch and iteration, often operating with substantial autonomy and without dedicated product management support.


• Debug and resolve production issues across the stack, with a focus on reliability, performance, and customer impact.


• Make thoughtful tradeoffs among business priorities, user experience, speed of execution, and long‑term technical quality.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum Requirements

• 6+ years of professional software‑engineering experience. We are open to candidates across a range of seniority, from experienced individual contributors through senior technical leaders.


• Experience building and shipping production software across both frontend and backend systems.


• Strong experience with backend services, SQL databases, and API design.


• Experience building polished, maintainable web applications and collaborating closely on product and user‑experience decisions.


• A strong sense of ownership, with the ability to lead technical projects and influence product direction.


• Ability to write modular, well‑tested, maintainable code while remaining pragmatic and moving quickly.


• Comfort operating in a fast‑paced, ambiguous environment and diving into unfamiliar problem spaces.


• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to produce clear technical documentation.


• Curiosity, sound judgment, and a commitment to continuously improving the product for partners and end users.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building developer‑facing API products or platforms.


• Experience with financial infrastructure, payments, money movement, or other regulated products.


• Interest in or experience with stablecoins, blockchain systems, or distributed systems.


• Experience designing systems that require high reliability, strong security controls, and careful operational discipline.

In-office expectations

Office‑assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in‑office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $190,400 - $285,600. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings (\"OTE\") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
