As a tech lead on the Money Movement team, you will: - Lead the technical direction and execution of fiat-to-crypto features and infrastructure. - Guide and mentor a team of junior and mid-level engineers (across backend, frontend, desktop, and mobile). - Build secure, scalable systems that connect users to third-party payment service providers and payments infrastructure. - Collaborate with product managers, designers, data analysts, and engineers from across MetaMask to ship cross-platform features. - Maintain high code quality through design discussions, reviews, testing, and documentation. - Help ensure the reliability, observability, and performance of the Money Movement services. - Own architectural decisions that affect revenue-generating user flows. - Partner with mobile and extension platform teams to create unified, seamless money movement experiences.

Would be great if you brought this to the role: - 5+ years of full-stack or backend engineering experience, including demonstrated success in a Staff (or equivalent) role. - A track record of setting technical direction and driving impact across a team or organization — not just shipping individual features. - Strong experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React Native and modern web technologies. - Demonstrated experience leading projects across multiple workstreams, mentoring engineers, and making architectural decisions across web, iOS, and Android applications. - Experience in fintech, payments, or financial services is strongly preferred. - Familiarity with payment infrastructure, APIs, and 3rd party integrations. - Ability to think critically about edge cases, system security, and failure modes. - Strong collaboration and communication skills, especially in remote-first teams. - Experience working in agile environments with cross-functional teams. - Commitment to clean code practices, testing, and maintainable software.

What the company offers: - Competitive salary range of $146,000—$218,000 USD. - Fully remote work environment. - Opportunities for career growth and learning. - A diverse and inclusive team culture.
