About Shakepay

Join our dynamic team at Shakepay, where we are on a mission to bring about the Bitcoin Golden Age. Shakepay is revolutionizing financial services, making them bitcoin-friendly, secure, and rewarding. Our rapid growth since launching in 2015 has made us one of Canada's leading financial institutions. With funding of $44M+ and the trust of over one million Canadians, Shakepay is shaping a future where financial freedom, opportunity, and prosperity are accessible to all.

Imagine the ability to earn bitcoin instantly just by shaking your phone. While our customers may think it’s magic, we know it's the brilliance of our dev team that brings this feature to life. What started as a hidden gem for our small customer base quickly gained popularity, leading to service outages caused by too many people shaking their phones simultaneously.

With that problem solved, we now have more than a million enthusiastic "shakers" (aka customers) and this unique feature has become an integral part of our brand. We take pride in introducing new and exciting ideas to the traditionally dull world of financial services. As a Senior Software Engineer, we invite you to help us reimagine how Canadians can build wealth and explore new possibilities with their money. Dynamic thinking, unique ideas, and the drive to turn them into reality are the true magic behind what we do.
