MoonPay - Backend Engineer

About MoonPay

Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy by making digital money move as universally and effortlessly as the internet.

Because crypto, stablecoins and blockchain aren’t just technologies. They’re tools for global financial empowerment. They give people and businesses more control over their money, their digital assets, and their future, opening access to legacy financial systems that have been out of reach for many.

MoonPay is a unified payments platform for digital currency. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, swap and pay in digital currencies as easy as sending an email. That simplicity is intentional, our focus is reducing complexity so people can participate confidently, without needing to be crypto experts. We power the entire flow between fiat and crypto end to end, with compliance, identity checks, fraud prevention, and settlement all built in.

Trusted by over 30 million customers and over 500 ecosystem partners, our secure, enterprise‑grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide. We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain‑powered future. Fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, because trust and compliance are non‑negotiable.

We’ve launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it’s growing fast.

If you believe financial freedom should be for everyone, if you believe in building a fairer, more open financial system – we want you with us.
