Bridge enables faster, cheaper payments and borderless access to dollars via stablecoins. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders faster and cheaper vs. SWIFT and other fiat-only rails. Our virtual accounts enable international consumers and businesses to easily access, store, and spend US dollars. Our payouts infrastructure enables platforms to disburse USD to anyone globally. We believe many trillions of dollars will move and settle through stablecoin payment rails. Bridge is pulling this future forward.\nWe have a small team of people who have previously built financial infrastructure at some of the world's leading companies (Coinbase, Stripe, Square, Brex, Upstart, DoorDash, Airbnb), and each and every one of them chose Bridge because they fundamentally believe that stablecoins will be a critical piece of financial infrastructure that allows for the improvement of global money movement.\nAbout the Role\nAs one of the first blockchain engineers at Bridge, you'll have the autonomy to work on projects that are truly global in scale and aim to give customers access to products they've never had access to. Many of the use cases that we work on today didn't exist several months ago, and that's because our team is dedicated to constant improvement for our partners and end users. Our engineers have outsized ownership over projects, so if you're looking for increased autonomy working on a completely greenfield opportunity, Bridge is the place for you.\nResponsibilities\nBuild out multi-chain hot wallet infrastructure to support increased reliability of our payments.\nBuild smart contracts to increase hot wallet payment throughput.\nBuild smart contract platform to issue custom stablecoins across multiple blockchains (EVM, Solana, Stellar, etc.).\nBuild smart contract monitoring systems to detect anomalous events (especially related to minting and burning).\nDesign and develop blockchain-based applications and protocols to support stablecoin transactions and integrations.\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into technical specifications.\nImplement and maintain smart contracts, ensuring security and efficiency.\nPerform thorough testing and debugging of blockchain applications.\nOptimize blockchain performance and scalability.\nStay up-to-date with the latest developments in blockchain technology and integrate relevant advancements into our solutions.\nProvide technical guidance and support to other team members.\nContribute to the overall architecture and design of our blockchain systems.\nWho you are\nWe're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.\nMinimum Requirements \nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field\nWe're open to hiring engineers at various levels of seniority, but in general we'd look for somebody with 5+ years of experience\nStrong proficiency in blockchain platforms such as Ethereum, Solana, or others\nExperience with smart contract development using Solidity or other relevant languages\nDeep understanding of cryptographic principles and blockchain protocols\nExperience with decentralized finance (DeFi) and stablecoins is highly desirable\nKnowledge of security best practices in blockchain development\nAn enlarged sense of ownership and the ability to lead and influence the design and direction of our products\nAn ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment • A growth mindset, constant curiosity, and fearlessness to dive into the unknown\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write clear technical documentation\nPreferred Qualifications\nPast experience working on crypto or financial products a plus, and while not required, we do look for people who are very passionate about building in this space\nExperience with building API products a plus, but not required\nExperience working with blockchain or distributed systems a big plus","description_format":"text","description_chars":4250,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Contracts & Security","Cryptocurrencies","Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-30T14:54:00Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-16T21:41:40Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 319 · green card filings: 110","filings_12m":319,"filings_prev_12m":318,"green_card_filings_12m":110,"median_offered_wage_usd":168770,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":198}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/stripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/stripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T00:05:31Z","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":114,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":64},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=64"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fstripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge"},{"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%2Fstripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge"},{"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%2Fstripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge"},{"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/stripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fstripe-software-engineer-smart-contract-bridge"}]}
