Role summary

Bridge is seeking a Full Stack Engineer to build and ship end-to-end product experiences for their stablecoin-powered payments platform.

Experience with financial infrastructure, payments, or stablecoins is preferred.

Who we are

About Bridge

Bridge is building a new payments platform powered by stablecoins to make global money movement simpler, faster, and more accessible. Through our APIs, businesses can send and receive funds across borders, give customers access to dollars through virtual accounts, and disburse USD globally.

We believe stablecoin rails will become a foundational part of financial infrastructure, moving and settling trillions of dollars worldwide. Bridge is helping bring that future forward.

Our team has built financial infrastructure at companies including Coinbase, Stripe, Square, Brex, Upstart, DoorDash, and Airbnb. We are united by the conviction that stablecoins can materially improve how money moves around the world.

What you’ll do

Build and ship end-to-end product experiences across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, and data systems.

Design reliable, performant, and intuitive interfaces for developers, operations teams, and end users interacting with Bridge products.

Develop and maintain the APIs and backend systems that power global payments, virtual accounts, and payouts.

Own projects from technical design through launch and iteration, often operating with substantial autonomy and without dedicated product management support.

Debug and resolve production issues across the stack, with a focus on reliability, performance, and customer impact.

Make thoughtful tradeoffs among business priorities, user experience, speed of execution, and long-term technical quality.
