Crypto onramp and payment infrastructure for regulated markets
MoonPay operates a licensed crypto payments platform connecting 30 million users to blockchain financial services through conventional payment rails (cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo). The hiring and project mix—heavy security, legal, and compliance roles paired with ML fraud-detection and real-time transaction evaluation work—reflects a company scaling under strict regulatory oversight. Tech stack centers on Python, SQL, Datadog, and Okta, with infrastructure-as-code and PaaS resiliency as internal focus areas.
