Staff Software Engineer — Identity Platform Architect

MoonPay Inc.; Sterling (VA); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

MoonPay is building a unified identity and KYC platform that can support customers across ramps, cards, virtual accounts and enterprise products. Today, many financial products treat identity as part of a single onboarding flow.

We are building it as a reusable platform capability: a secure identity layer that allows customers to verify once, maintain control of their information and access different MoonPay‑powered products without repeating the same journey each time.

Responsibilities

• Turn a broad identity and KYC vision into a clear technical strategy, architecture and sequence of deliverable work.
• Identify the boundaries between identity, authentication, verification, compliance and product‑specific onboarding.
• Set the technical bar through rigorous reviews, clear standards and lasting engineering habits.
• Align teams across ramps, cards, virtual accounts and enterprise products around a shared identity model.
• Design a unified identity layer that can support multiple MoonPay products, partners and regulated use cases.
• Model the lifecycle of a customer’s identity, including creation, verification, linking, updates, consent and deletion.
• Build secure APIs and SDKs that allow internal teams and external partners to use identity capabilities without understanding the underlying complexity.
• Integrate KYC and identity‑verification providers while keeping MoonPay’s internal model consistent and extensible.
• Develop clear ownership boundaries between the identity platform and the products built on top of it.
