Senior Platform Engineer (Money Movement Systems)

The Better Money Company•New York City, NY

About The Position

The next wave of stablecoin adoption is payments. We're building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. Payments don’t run on trading, but stablecoins currently do, this is unacceptable for traditional payments companies. We're looking for a Senior Platform Engineer who obsesses over correctness/efficiency and likes to get involved across backend/distributed systems. Help us build the systems that help us build faster with confidence by owning and building internal tools, dev infrastructure, and automation.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in platform engineering, developer tooling, infrastructure, or reliability engineering.
Expert in GCP or AWS.
Comfortable with TypeScript and/or Python.
NodeJS or similar runtime environments
PostgreSQL or similar RDBMS
You've built infrastructure for systems where correctness actually matters: payments, trading, ledgers, or platforms with similar requirements.
You reason naturally about state, ordering, idempotency, failure modes, and consistency in distributed systems.
You have strong opinions about what good internal tooling looks like, and you build it proactively
You thrive in ambiguity, viewing a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership.

Nice To Haves

Experience with formal verification, property-based testing, or chaos engineering is a big plus, especially if you've spent time with tools like Temporal or TigerBeetle.

Responsibilities

Help shape how we responsibly bring AI-assisted development into core financial infrastructure, without giving up correctness guarantees.
Own the test harness for our core systems: integration tests, formal verification, and chaos testing across the ledger, netting algorithm, money movement, and payment ordering.
Build correctness guarantees that let the rest of the team ship faster.
Design and build internal tools that amplify our productivity.
Own CI/CD pipelines, dev environments, and deployment infrastructure.
Make the path from code to production fast, safe, and boring.
Instrument our systems with observability like logging, tracing, alerting, so we catch problems before our customers do.
