Senior Backend Engineer | Founding Team

heart-mind-talent
London

Kulipa is a financial services platform built on the infrastructure of tomorrow: Stablecoins. Stablecoins are dollars (and other fiat currencies) tokenized on a blockchain. They are gaining massive adoption throughout the industry, replacing inefficient financial payment rails. We bring the higher efficiency and richer opportunities of stablecoin economies to companies and individuals, worldwide.

Our primary service today is issuing stablecoin-powered debit cards, so that card payments work the way they should :

  • Merchants receive payment instantly - rather than multiple days later.

  • End users can pay with currencies of their choice, held in their own custody.

  • This is a big deal in developing markets such as LatAm where users want to shield themselves from local currency inflation and hold dollars/euros, but are restricted by their local banking systems.

Why Join:

  • Founding Team : Join our early stage, engineer-driven team of former Meta, Google, Curve, Blockchain.com , Binance, and Mastercard veterans. You can expect to have broad technical responsibility, and receive unfiltered access to business operations & decisions.

  • Achievements : We’ve launched with some of the biggest crypto wallets (Solflare, Ready). We are a VISA principal member. We’ve raised pre-seed and seed rounds from top Fintech & Blockchain VCs.

  • Social Impact : Our product fosters financial equality by providing stable, secure access to essential financial services, retaining full control of assets by end users. We offer these services worldwide and especially in economically stricken regions, where users have limited options.

  • Market Disruption : We enable near-instant payments, eliminating delays and costs that affect merchants and consumers alike. We are part of the stablecoin wave of payment technology that will subsume existing payment products.

What You’ll Do:

  • ️Build the foundation : Help define and develop the core backend systems that will underpin our product, connecting blockchain and financial systems.

  • Innovate : We operate a debit card for third-party non-custodial wallets. This has never been done before. You’ll be solving new problems, not rehashing existing solutions in a different form.

  • Work directly with customers : Get your hands dirty integrating our system with customers, seeing a full sales and deployment cycle.

Reward for Impact:

  • Meaningful equity & competitive cash salaries

  • Unique work experience you Simply Won’t Get elsewhere

  • We operate globally - travel to interesting places and attend blockchain conferences

What We’re Looking For:

  • Technical expertise : Senior/staff engineering experience with a focus on creating scalable, resilient backend systems.

  • Proactive mindset : A healthy “Can do” approach that is happy to work on both short term hacks and long term fixes. We walk a tightrope between the two.

  • Excited by impact : You want to create a real change in the world that will unleash new economic potential.
