Job description

About MoonPay

Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to Web3.

Why? Because we think Web3 is a unique and democratizing technology. It gives people back control of their money, digital identity, data, and property like nothing else before it.

What We Do

We’re the leading infrastructure company in Web3. This means we offer our partners everything from payment solutions (we call them 'Ramps') to minting software for digital collectibles, like NFTs. And over 30 million people around the world now trust our products — just take a look on Trustpilot.

We’re also big on collaborations. And we've worked on stunts, drops, and partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious and forward-thinking brands.

But that’s not all. We have also built our own consumer app because we wanted to see if we could build a better Web3 account. It’s taken off in a big way, and we're working hard to continually improve it and to strive for perfection.

So whatever your background, we’re sure there’s something for you here. Come help us build the future of Web3 and digital ownership.

Location supported

This role can be performed remotely from the United Kingdom, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Portugal, or Romania. If you are currently located outside these countries, relocation will be required. Visa sponsorship and relocation support are available for the UK only for this role.

Unfortunately, we do not offer business to business contracting arrangements.

About the Opportunity

Our engineering discipline builds the technology that enables MoonPay to learn quickly and scale easily. We organize in small cross-functional squads of 4-6 engineers and an embedded Product Manager and Product Data Analyst. We currently have squads across Crypto / NFT / Payments / KYC / Core Product and others. We’re pragmatic and believe in having a fluid structure, which means people can move between teams or specialize.

What you will do

• Architect and develop new and existing products and features
• Work with Product Managers to come up with the best solutions and implementation plans for new features or changes to existing ones
• Collaborate with other product teams to deliver and improve customer-facing features
• Contribute to the estimations, planning, and execution of projects, features, and integrations
• Integrate and work closely with external service providers to ensure smooth operation
• Maintain and improve our existing codebase
• Write fully tested, high-quality, and performant code

About you

• Extensive front-end engineering experience at leading startups or fast-growing tech companies
• Confident in developing, releasing, and maintaining server applications in a fast-paced, iterative environment
• Experience with some of our tech stack, or confident you can cross-train and upskill quickly
• Deep understanding of database structures, theories, principles, and best practices
• Cloud native experience with Google Cloud or similar (e.g., AWS, Azure)
• Bonus points if you make open-source contributions or have experience in Web3

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, including design, documentation, monitoring, and alerting
• Lead initiatives from an engineering perspective, partnering closely with product managers

What you will be working with

• Typescript
• React and NextJS
• Node.js
• TypeORM, TypeDI, TypeGraphQL, routing-controllers
• Google Cloud Platform
• Postgres
• Redis
• Bull
• DataDog
• GitHub
• Jest

Most importantly, you will embody the core principles that everyone here at MoonPay lives by. Our “BLOCK Values” are at the heart of everything we do — they are:

• B - Be Hungry
• L - Level Up
• O - Own It
• C - Crypto Curious
• K - Kaizen

MoonPay Perks include:

• Equity package
• Unlimited holidays
• Paid parental leave
• Annual training budget
• Home office setup allowance
• Monthly budget to spend on our products
• Working in a disruptive and fast-growing industry where the possibilities are endless
• Freedom, autonomy, and responsibility

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 we would still love to hear from you even if you feel that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.

Please let us know if you require any accommodations for the interview process, and we’ll do our best to provide assistance.

Commitment To Diversity

At MoonPay, we believe that every voice matters. We strive to create a mindful and respectful environment where everyone can bring their authentic self to work, and experience a culture that is free of harassment, racism, and discrimination. We are committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace and are a proud equal opportunity employer. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. We also provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Please inform our Talent Team if you need any assistance during the application process.

Please be aware that MoonPay does not request an AI-led interview without seeing a recruiter or team member from MoonPay on video call. We won't ask for your personal identification documents or money during the interview process. Be fraud smart!
