About Bridge
We believe that much like data moved to the cloud, dollars (and many other financial assets) will move on-chain. As this transition occurs, stablecoins will become core financial infrastructure. However, the current tools supporting stablecoin development have meaningfully limited adoption and utility. At Bridge (www.bridge.xyz), we want to change this by building infrastructure and tooling that is both easy to use, and regulated and compliant.
We are a Series A startup, building largely in San Francisco, backed by some of the top VC’s in the space including Sequoia Capital. We 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.
About the Role
As an early member of the Bridge engineering team, you will be given 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 are looking for increased autonomy working on a completely greenfield opportunity, Bridge is the place for you.
Responsibilities
Ship software to build out our suite of API products. We’re an engineering and API-first company, and you will learn first-hand and contribute towards building highly reliable, performant, and mission critical infrastructure serving thousands of developers across the globe.
Take sole ownership of projects, oftentimes without the support of Product Management, and liaise both internally with teams like Legal/Compliance and externally with our partners and developers.
Look for constant improvements to our product offerings with the explicit goal of improving the experience for our partners and end users.
Make effective tradeoffs that consider business priorities, user experience, and a sustainable technical foundation.
Improve engineering standards, tooling and processes for the team and our broader org.
Qualifications
We are open to hiring engineers at various levels of seniority (SWE through Senior Staff) but at a minimum we are looking for somebody with 2+ years of experience.
Experience building backend systems with SQL databases. Experience with frameworks such as Rails, Django, Express or equivalent is a bonus.
An enlarged sense of ownership and the ability to lead and influence the design and direction of our products.
An ability to thrive in a fast paced environment.
A growth mindset and a constant curiosity and fearlessness to dive into the unknown.
An ability to write maintainable, well-tested, modular code, but also be pragmatic about moving fast.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write clear technical documentation.
Past 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.
Experience with building API products a plus, but not required.
Experience working with blockchain or distributed systems a big plus
The salary range for this role is $170,000 to $240,000.
