Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower todayโ€™s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.

  • Apply engineering best-practices including unit and integration testing, source code version control, agile planning/estimation
  • Lead code reviews, advocate for higher quality and engineering efficiency and help onboard new members into your team
  • Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

  • 8+ years of software development experience, including at least one of the following: Golang, Kotlin, Rust, Java, C++.
