Backend Java Engineer, Payments
Wyre, Inc.
In order to port over the next billion people into a secure and open financial system, you're going to need a network of applications that connect to the fiat world... Wyre's APIs make that happen.
Wyre's on a mission to bring crypto to the masses - we're pumped about building the infrastructure that will be used to build the future.
For visionary developers who want to build the next great crypto company, Wyre is the crypto stack that brings together the most powerful payment APIs in one place. To accomplish this mission, we've built a simple set of tools that allows fintech projects to materialize their visions. (1) Our instant Fiat-to-Crypto Checkout gateway is now being used by hundreds of applications (ie. MetaMask, Opera, Ledger) to offer the best way to convert card payments into crypto, and (2) Our flexible APIs (Transfers API, Custody API, Users API), allow projects to build e-wallets, merchant processing services, and money transfer platforms from the ground up.
As of December 2021, Wyre has raised over $55M in funding and currently is the backbone to over 1,200 partners and 7.6M accounts.
We're growing our dev team and looking for a solid Java Engineer to join our growing engineering team. In joining the team, you would be building and refining our tools and process in our money transfer system and working with some of the largest crypto companies in the world, helping to onboard them onto our platform. Ready to be part of a small, specialized team where you can have direct influence on product and decision-making processes? If you're process-focused, have a hacker mentality, and consider yourself curious and a lifelong learner, we want to meet you. We're built on Java, RxJava, MySQL, AWS, ExpressJS, React, Node, Kafka.
