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 one of the first blockchain engineers at Bridge, 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.

Provide technical guidance and support to other team members.
Contribute to the overall architecture and design of our blockchain systems.
