About MoonPay

MoonPay offers a fast and simple way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies. Buy crypto with credit card, bank transfers, Apple Pay, PayPal and more. Backed by NEA.

About the role

MoonPay is building a developer platform that allows partners to create native payment and crypto experiences directly inside their own products. Historically, partners integrated MoonPay through a hosted widget and redirected users into a fixed MoonPay journey. We are now breaking the underlying system into reusable modules covering authentication, identity, KYC, quotes, payment methods and purchasing. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • External developer products. You have built APIs, SDKs, embedded components or integration tooling used by third-party developers
  • Browser or mobile depth. You understand how browsers and mobile applications behave beneath the framework level, including sessions, storage, cross-origin communication and embedded experiences
  • JavaScript and TypeScript. You have strong language fundamentals and have built production client-side or SDK infrastructure
  • API and SDK design. You understand versioning, backwards compatibility, documentation, error design and safe migrations
  • Distributed systems. You build correctly when events arrive twice, late or out of order and when dependencies fail
  • Product judgement. You can turn complex platform capabilities into interfaces that developers can understand and adopt
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.
