Senior Backend Engineer

About the job

Say hello to MobileCoin, the only sustainable payments platform that's fast and simple enough for everyday private payments.

We've developed a fully private, distributed payments platform you can use every day to pay for anything while protecting your privacy and data. Though based on a cryptocurrency, the barrier to understanding, buying, and using crypto is huge for many, and we want to remove that barrier. It's cryptocurrency designed to be used for secure payments, not to replace a currency, and we like to think it's crypto that anyone can use. In a sense, MobileCoin is made for everyone.

MobileCoin is a private payment system that works directly with messaging apps on your phone or desktop. We want to empower each individual with the tools they need to communicate and connect. Through our encrypted blockchain payment system, MobileCoin gives you the ability to transact in private. In a world where your personal data is seen as a commodity, we believe that privacy should be a choice, and we choose to help protect that choice.

We are passionate about developing world-class products and software which maintain unprecedented user privacy while delivering the next-generation digital payments platform. We believe that career fulfillment and enterprise success converge when smart, hard-working, and intellectually curious people come together with a shared goal of innovation, and the pursuit of excellence.
