Forward Deployed Engineer

 We're assisting a well-funded startup in the payments space with their search for FDEs.  They believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments, and they're aiming to fix key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption – starting with building a clearinghouse.  The role will work onsite in the NYC office.

 

What You’ll Do

• Own the full integration lifecycle with customers and partners—from initial scoping and technical design through implementation, testing, and go-live.

• Be the connective tissue between customers and the product. Digest, triage, and scope customer needs into actionable product input that shapes what is built next.

• Design and build shared tooling, SDKs, and documentation that make integrating fast and painless.

• Debug production issues across system boundaries—when something breaks between the company and a partner, you’re the first responder.

Ideal candidate traits:

• 3+ years of experience building and shipping integrations with payment systems, financial infrastructure, and/or banking partners.

• You’ve been the person on the other end of the API – you know what good (and bad) integration experiences feel like.

• Excellent communication skills. You can translate between engineering-speak and customer-speak without losing fidelity.

• You thrive in ambiguity – you view a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership.

• Preferred but not required to have experience building with stablecoins and/or blockchains.
