Senior Software Engineer

Circle is a financial technology company at the epicenter of the emerging internet of money, where value can finally travel like other digital data — globally, nearly instantly and less expensively than legacy settlement systems. This ground-breaking new internet layer opens up previously unimaginable possibilities for payments, commerce and markets that can help raise global economic prosperity and enhance inclusion. Our infrastructure – including USDC, a blockchain-based dollar – helps businesses, institutions and developers harness these breakthroughs and capitalize on this major turning point in the evolution of money and technology.

As a Senior Software Engineer at Circle, you will be responsible for extending Circle's in-house blockchain systems infrastructure to support the tokenization of the world. You will analyze requirements, procedures, and problems to improve existing systems and modify them. Your role involves building and owning scalable microservices that are responsible for reliable and secure APIs that transfer value and assets across all blockchain protocols as well as traditional banking protocols.

You will collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to design, test, and shape Circle features, including developing and documenting system design procedures, testing procedures, and quality standards. Troubleshooting program and system malfunctions to restore normal functioning will be part of your responsibilities. You'll be building publicly accessible APIs that make it simple for developers to integrate with complex payment systems and integrating Platform Services with leading banks and financial technologies.

This role requires a minimum of 4 years of professional software development experience in object-oriented languages like Java and Go. You should have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a closely related field (or equivalent) and experience in leading teams (2-4) technically on architecture and system design. Knowledge of payment systems, RESTful API design, Cloud Services, SQL databases, and a focus on coding standards and code quality are essential.

Circle offers a competitive compensation package, including a base salary range of $147,500 - $195,000, an annual bonus target of 12.5%, equity, and comprehensive benefits. The company has a discretionary vacation policy and provides 10 days of paid sick leave and 11 paid holidays per year in the U.S.
