Senior Blockchain Engineer

This is a remote position. Our client is building the infrastructure that enables humanitarian organizations to use stablecoins without requiring blockchain expertise.

Blockchain is the infrastructure—not the product. Our platform orchestrates the complete payment workflow, including: Funding and treasury management Compliance and sanctions screening On-chain transactions Reporting and audit trails Beneficiary payouts Local off-ramp integrations We integrate best-in-class providers for custody, compliance, blockchain connectivity, and financial settlement instead of replacing existing financial infrastructure.
