About the role
MoonPay is looking for a Product Counsel to be the dedicated legal partner for MoonPay's expanding product suite. This is a rare, high-impact role covering two interconnected mandates: our DeFi products - DEX routing and aggregation, non-custodial wallet infrastructure, and AI-powered agent integrations - and our regulated crypto asset services, including crypto-asset exchange services, digital asset custody, stablecoin issuance, and stablecoin card services.
What they're looking for
- JD (or equivalent) and active bar membership in at least one jurisdiction
- 6+ years of legal experience, including meaningful in-house experience at a crypto, DeFi, fintech, or regulated financial services company
- Deep, working understanding of DeFi: how DEXs and AMMs operate, what smart order routing involves, how non-custodial wallets and MPC key management work, and how smart contracts are used in protocol integrations
- Solid grounding in the US regulatory frameworks most relevant to DeFi products: FinCEN money transmission and MSB analysis, SEC securities regulation, CFTC commodity derivatives regulation, and NYDFS requirements for licensed entities
- Experience providing product lifecycle legal advice directly to engineering and product teams
- Excellent communications skills — the ability to deliver crisp, practical legal advice and synthesise complex regulatory constructs succinctly, especially where the law is unsettled or its application to novel technology is unclear
More about this role
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.
