Job DescriptionJob DescriptionCareer Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a Senior Backend Engineer (Founding Team) - this is a fully-remote role for US-based candidates

We’re building the infrastructure that will help banks work natively with stablecoins, unlocking fast, compliant, and programmable money movement.

Traditional banking is the backbone of the financial system, but it's built on legacy systems that are slow to evolve. Blockchains introduce new primitives (atomic settlement, programmability, global access) but they also bring their own unique technical challenges.

We’re doing something that hasn’t been done before: tightly integrating the regulated, centralised ledgers that govern almost all of finance with permissionless, decentralised networks. Our platform gives banks direct control over stablecoin flows with built-in compliance, observability, and safety. Our success will solve the last mile problem of stablecoins, enabling stablecoin access in the most familiar financial surface for billions of people.

We're early, funded, and moving fast. Our founders have deep experience in stablecoins, payments, and high-availability systems; experience built over many years at Solana Labs, Paxos, Google, and Reddit. We have best-of-breed backing investors including Solana.

We’re looking for a

first technical hire . This role is ideal for someone who thrives on systems thinking and is excited to build foundational infra in a regulated, high-stakes domain. Furthermore, we operate with a high level of trust and autonomy.

Everyone on the team is expected to take ownership, make decisions, and drive execution.

You’ll be hands-on with core systems, from liquidity management to compliance workflows, and help us lay down the rails that connect traditional banking to the world of digital assets.

Prior experience working on either fintech/banking compliance systems and/or managing crypto or fiat liquidity
