What are the responsibilities and job description for the The Better Money Company - Forward Deployed Engineer position at deCircle?
The next wave of stablecoin adoption is in payments. We’re building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who lives at the boundary between us and our customers. You'll come in earlier than a typical FDE - you'll help define the product surface area of what we build together with our partners. You'll translate customer requests into feedback that guides our product roadmap.
About Us
We believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments. We see key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption, and we’re going to fix them – starting with building a clearinghouse. We’re a small, scrappy team based in NYC, we’ve raised $10M from a16z Crypto and other excellent partners, and we’re going to bring better money to the world.
What You’ll Do
Own the full integration lifecycle with customers and partners—from initial scoping and technical design through implementation, testing, and go-live.
Be the connective tissue between our customers and our product. Digest, triage, and scope customer needs into actionable product input that shapes what we build next.
Design and build shared tooling, SDKs, and documentation that make integrating with us fast and painless.
Debug production issues across system boundaries—when something breaks between us and a partner, you’re the first responder.
The dishes.
3 years of experience building and shipping integrations with payment systems, financial infrastructure, and/or banking partners.
You’ve been the person on the other end of the API – you know what good (and bad) integration experiences feel like.
Excellent communication skills. You can translate between engineering-speak and customer-speak without losing fidelity.
You thrive in ambiguity – you view a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership.
Preferred but not required to have experience building with stablecoins and/or blockchains.
