Our only careers site ispaxos.com/careers, and we only recruit via @paxos.comemail. Details below.\n___\nAbout Paxos\nToday’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.\nWe’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world's leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard, Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab.\nAbout the team\nThe Identity & Regulatory Platform team builds the trust layer behind every Paxos product. Before a financial institution or its end users can move a single asset on Paxos, they come through us: identity verification, KYC/KYB, sanctions and risk screening, and the onboarding and activation experience in the Paxos Dashboard and Identity APIs. We also build the AI-enabled tools Compliance uses to review applications and manage risk at scale. Our goal is to turn complex regulatory requirements into fast, automated product flows, so that compliance speeds growth up instead of slowing it down.\nAbout the role\nAs a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you'll build the AI-enabled trust layer that lets the world's largest financial institutions adopt blockchain safely. You'll own the customer journey from first contact through onboarding to activation. That means designing the systems that verify and onboard customers, using AI to automate compliance review, and measuring and improving every step of the funnel. You'll work directly with Product, Compliance and identity vendors, and your work will shape both how fast customers go live and how well Paxos meets its regulatory obligations.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn the customer journey from lead to onboarding to activation, across the Paxos Dashboard and Identity APIs\n\nInstrument the onboarding funnel, find drop-off and friction, and run experiments that cut time-to-activation\n\nDesign, build and operate backend services for KYC/KYB, identity verification, screening and identity lifecycle\n\nUse AI to automate compliance work such as document review, case triage and risk assessment, replacing manual ops\n\nOwn integrations with third-party identity and screening vendors, including async workflows and webhooks\n\nBuild data-privacy capabilities (GDPR erasure, PII handling) into the platform from the start\n\nWrite design docs, lead technical decisions, mentor teammates and take part in on-call\n\nAbout you\n5+ years building production backend systems, with 1+ year at senior level\n\nStrong in Go, Java or Python (Go strongly preferred)\n\nExperience designing APIs and data models for sensitive or regulated data\n\nYou think about outcomes such as conversion, activation and time-to-value, not only shipping features\n\nComfortable turning ambiguous requirements from non-engineering stakeholders into clear technical plans\n\nBonus: identity, KYC/AML or onboarding systems; growth engineering or experimentation; building LLM features into production; Persona or similar vendors\n\nYou use AI tools daily to work faster and better\n\nImportant Notice for Paxos Applicants\n Fraudulent accounts sometimes pose as Paxos recruiters on LinkedIn and other platforms, and fake websites sometimes impersonate our careers site. These scammers attempt to deceive applicants into paying for job opportunities or providing personal financial information.\nTo verify a legitimate Paxos opportunity:\nOur only official careers site is paxos.com/careers\n\nWe only use @paxos.com email addresses\n\nWe never ask for payment or financial details to apply, interview, or work here\n\nFor technical roles, we do not perform a coding interview without prior screening by our engineering team\n\nThanks for your interest in Paxos!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3938,"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":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Services","Blockchain Infrastructure","Stablecoins"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-04T20:01:10Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 9","filings_12m":9,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":202500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":8}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":215475,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/paxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/paxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T06:39:34Z","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":15501,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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":47485},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=47485"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpaxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"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%2Fpaxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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%2Fpaxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform"},{"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/paxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpaxos-senior-software-engineer-identity-regulatory-platform"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3765726}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"paxos.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3765726},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
