All roles share the same foundation of designing and operating reliable, secure, high-throughput backend services, but each opening has a distinct focus. When you apply, tell us which track (or tracks) excites you most.\nTrack 1: KYB / KYC & Compliance Platform\nBuild the systems that let enterprises onboard safely and stay compliant across dozens of jurisdictions. You’ll own services powering business (KYB) and individual (KYC) verification flows, risk scoring, sanctions and AML screening, case management, and integrations with identity and compliance vendors. The challenge is making rigorous compliance feel invisible: fast, automated, and globally scalable, without ever compromising on regulatory obligations.\nTrack 2: New Product Lines, starting with Custody\nJoin us at the ground floor of new enterprise products, beginning with Custody. You’ll design the backend for secure digital asset storage and management for institutional clients: key management workflows, policy engines, transaction authorization, ledger integrity, and audit trails. This track suits engineers who love ambiguity, greenfield architecture, and building products from zero to one with enterprise-grade security requirements.\nTrack 3: Blockchain, Stablecoin Issuance & On-Chain Infrastructure\nWork directly with blockchain protocols to power our stablecoin issuance business and on-chain products. You’ll build and operate services for minting, burning, and managing fully reserved stablecoins across chains, develop smart contract integrations on EVM chains and Solana, and design the indexing, monitoring, and reconciliation systems that keep on-chain and off-chain state in sync. Prior Solana (Rust) or Solidity development experience is a strong plus here.\nAcross all tracks, experience with fiat rails, banking integrations, or payments systems is very welcome. Much of our hardest work happens where traditional finance and crypto overlap.\nWhat you’ll do\nDesign, build, and operate backend services written in Rust that process high volumes of financial transactions with strong guarantees around correctness, idempotency, and auditability\nOwn features end to end, from shaping the product spec through technical design, implementation, testing, deployment, and production monitoring. You won’t just receive work from product: as a domain expert, you’ll help define what we build and propose the work you consider most useful\nIntegrate with external partners such as banks, payment processors, blockchains, and identity and compliance vendors, and build the abstractions that make those integrations reliable\nImprove engineering quality across observability, incident response, security practices, and API design\nCollaborate closely with product, compliance, and other engineering teams across MoonPay’s global network\n(Staff level) Set technical direction for your area, mentor other engineers, and drive architectural decisions that span multiple teams\nAbout you\n5+ years of backend engineering experience (8+ for Staff), with a track record of shipping and operating production systems at scale\nStrong backend experience with a statically compiled language (e.g. Rust, Go, C#, C++) is a must. Deep fundamentals matter more to us than your specific language history\nPrior professional Rust experience is not required, but interest in Rust and motivation to become an expert in it are very welcome, since our services are written in Rust\nSolid fundamentals in distributed systems, API design, data modeling, and asynchronous processing\nComfort working in domains where precision matters, such as financial systems, double-entry ledgers, reconciliation, or similarly correctness-critical software\nA pragmatic, autonomous, ownership-driven mindset. You care about outcomes, communicate clearly, and thrive on high throughput: on this team, features ship in hours to days and products in days to weeks\nStrong critical thinking, including in how you use AI tools. You know how to drive AI-assisted development productively while staying firmly in control of correctness, security, and design quality\nInterest in crypto, stablecoins, and the future of payments. Prior crypto experience is a plus rather than a requirement, except for Track 3, where hands-on blockchain development experience is expected\nBonus points\nProfessional or hobby experience writing Rust (open-source contributions count!)\nExperience in fiat payments, banking integrations, card networks, or PSPs\nFamiliarity with KYC/KYB, AML, sanctions screening, or regulated financial products (Track 1)\nBackground in custody, key management (MPC/HSM), or institutional-grade security (Track 2)\nSmart contract development in Solidity (EVM) or Rust (Solana), and experience with on-chain indexing or node infrastructure (Track 3)\nExperience working in regulated, multi-jurisdiction environments\nHow we work\nMoonPay Enterprise operates like a startup inside a scale-up: small, senior, high-throughput teams with real ownership, direct access to customers and decision-makers, and the backing of MoonPay’s global licenses, banking relationships, and distribution network. We move fast and expect engineers to act as product owners for their domain, not just implementers. This role is open as a hybrid position from our Berlin, London and New York offices.\nNYC Salary: $180,000 - $300,000 USD","description_format":"text","description_chars":5429,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cryptocurrencies","Crypto Payments","Crypto Wallets"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T18:03:30Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":57,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.758,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:0","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":300000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/moonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/moonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T16:46:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22280,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2725},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2725"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmoonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmoonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmoonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/moonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmoonpay-seniorstaff-software-engineer-moonpay-enterprise"}]}
