About Paxos

Paxos is embarking on a mission to facilitate the transfer of any asset at any time, ensuring trustworthiness throughout the process. The current financial infrastructure is antiquated, costly, inefficient, and fraught with risk, excluding more individuals than it includes. Hence, we're in the process of rebuilding it.

As a regulated blockchain infrastructure firm, we employ technology to tokenize, safeguard, trade, and settle assets for corporate clients like PayPal, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos stands as a well-funded blockchain company, with over $500 million in cumulative funding from prominent investors such as OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Collectively, we empower contemporary financial leaders to establish a more open and dependable economy.

Our Engineering team is in search of Senior Software Engineers to join our expanding team. We take pride in ongoing innovation, peak performance, effective mentoring/coaching, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the authentic application of lean/agile methodologies.

As a Senior Software Engineer, your responsibilities will encompass:

  1. Creating trusted, genuinely 1:1 backed stablecoins that are deployed across multiple blockchains, accounting for over $19 billion in tokenized currency.
  2. Developing top-tier asset management software to efficiently rebalance assets across multiple blockchains and financial platforms.
  3. Designing and implementing high-quality software from concept to launch, taking ownership of design, coding, testing, and deployment of critical proprietary software components.
  4. Applying engineering best practices, including unit and integration testing, source code version control, and agile planning/estimation.
  5. Effectively resolving ambiguity, analyzing complex requirements, and breaking down features and initiatives into tactical tasks.
  6. Navigating trade-offs effectively, considering factors like MVP vs. Enterprise-Grade, Time-to-Market, and other relevant dimensions.
  7. Ensuring alignment between product conceptualization and development, guaranteeing that designs and implementations align seamlessly with the company's mission and product objectives.

Your qualifications should encompass:

  1. Over 6 years of software development experience, including expertise in at least one of the following: Golang, Kotlin, Rust, Java, C++, Python.
  2. Strong foundations in computer science and programming, covering data structures and algorithms.

You may also possess:

  1. Mastery of core engineering principles, encompassing data structures, optimal design practices, runtime optimizations, and algorithmic complexity.
  2. A deep understanding of concepts like load balancing, HA/failover, ingress, inter-service communications within a microservices-style cluster, idempotence, ACID, guaranteed delivery, and more.
  3. Technical expertise in at least one domain, such as Distributed Systems, Cryptography, Databases, or AWS.
  4. The ability to comprehend and articulate an entire system's architecture, including technical trade-offs between different design implementations.
  5. Familiarity with online web application architectures and infrastructures, including clustering (Kubernetes), containerization (Docker), message queuing (Kafka), telemetry/instrumentation (Prometheus/Grafana), and more.
  6. Eagerness to work transparently and collaboratively within a diverse multi-disciplinary team.
  7. Effective collaboration with stakeholders.
  8. An unceasing drive to learn new technologies, innovate, and discover improved ways to overcome engineering challenges.
