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 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. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Identity platform experience. You have built or owned production identity, KYC, authentication or customer-data infrastructure used across multiple products
  • Platform architecture. You have defined shared technical foundations rather than delivering only a single onboarding or login experience
  • Public APIs and SDKs. You have built interfaces used by external developers and understand stability, versioning, documentation and backwards compatibility
  • Sensitive data. You understand the security, privacy and operational requirements involved in storing and processing identity information
  • Systems thinking. You can reason across data models, verification providers, product workflows, compliance requirements and failure modes
  • Ambiguity and influence. You have taken a problem nobody had fully scoped, created a technical direction and brought multiple teams with you
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.
