Requirements

What youโ€™ll do

    In the short term we need to increase the resiliency and reliability of our current PaaS solution with things such as:

  • Improving the maintainability of our infrastructure as code

  • Building dashboards, monitoring & alerting mechanisms with Datadog

  • Load testing and performance tuning our production services

  • Lifecycling and maintenance of our Kubernetes clusters

  •  

    In the medium to long term youโ€™ll get to:

  • Implement new and shiny technologies on top of Kubernetes as you see fit to ensure our tech can scale with the business.

  • Develop and integrate solutions with a bias for automation in order to improve and maintain reliability across the production estate and make recovery easier.

  • Design and track metrics for site uptime and performance ensuring high levels of visibility are maintained.

  • Own the deployment pipelines and continuously improve our monitoring and alerting capabilities.

  • Collaborate closely with all other engineering functions to provide timely feedback from our environments.

  • Support Engineering on their journey to deliver better software, faster and more safely (think โ€œItโ€™s OK to deploy on Fridaysโ€ ๐Ÿ˜Ž).

About MoonPay

Hi, we're MoonPay. We're here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy by making digital money move as universally and effortlessly as the internet.

Why?

Because crypto, stablecoins and blockchain aren't just technologies. They're tools for global financial empowerment. They give people and businesses more control over their money, their digital assets, and their future, opening access to legacy financial systems that have been out of reach for many.

What we do
MoonPay is a unified payments platform for digital currency. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, swap and pay in digital currencies as easy as sending an email. That simplicity is intentional, our focus is reducing complexity so people can participate confidently, without needing to be crypto experts. We power the entire flow between fiat and crypto end to end, with compliance, identity checks, fraud prevention, and settlement all built in. This end-to-end approach reflects how we work internally: with accountability, rigor, and trust built into everything we ship.

Proven at scale

Trusted by over 30 million customers and over 500 ecosystem partners, our secure, enterprise-grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide. Behind those numbers are millions of real people and organizations relying on MoonPay every day.

We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain-powered future. This is an opportunity to help shape systems, not just scale them. And we're committed to doing it right. Fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, because trust and compliance are non-negotiable.

But we're just getting started. We've launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it's growing fast. We're iterating every day to make it the best it can be.

If you believe financial freedom should be for everyone. If you believe in building a fairer, more open financial system - we want you with us. To build systems that benefit all, we need contributions from all, regardless of background.

Come build the future of payments and the decentralized economy with MoonPay. Let's make financial freedom and autonomy the new normal.
