Backend Engineer - Stablecoins
BastionFull Time
Senior (5 to 8 years), Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates should have 5-10 years of product management experience, including building products from inception to launch. Experience building or leading stablecoin, payment, or financial infrastructure products with cross-functional exposure to compliance, issuer engagement, and distribution partners is required. A deep understanding of the stablecoin landscape, including issuer requirements, regulatory frameworks, merchant settlement needs, and the middleware stack for PSPs and wallets, is essential. The ability to design and lead a multi-product platform strategy in a fast-moving, ambiguous space, along with technical depth to collaborate with engineering teams on core products, is also necessary. Preferred qualifications include demonstrated success launching multi-sided ecosystems or developer platforms and experience scaling Web3 or fintech platforms with compliance-aware modules. Evangelist-level communication skills are preferred.
The Product Lead will own Chainlink’s Stablecoin Platform, architecting its strategy, roadmap, and execution across asset issuers, payment processors, merchants, and financial institutions. Responsibilities include launching the early version of the platform, defining its architecture and solution blueprint, and building a plan for the initial product offering covering compliance, interoperability, and distribution. The role involves establishing Chainlink's narrative as the default infrastructure for stablecoin issuance and usage, expanding the platform to support additional stablecoin standards and use cases, and shipping composable compliance modules. The Product Lead will drive ecosystem adoption, launch middleware solutions for PSPs, wallets, and merchants to simplify integration and ensure compliance, and enable transaction orchestration with any stablecoin across any chain.
