The Role
We're seeking a Staff Backend Engineer to lead our core product development. Our backend serves a REST API that powers our iOS, Android, and Web frontends. You will integrate with cryptocurrency wallet and banking service providers, among other services for auth, ledger, payment rails, etc.
