About MoonPay 🌖💸

Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to Web3. 

Why? Because we think Web3 is a unique and democratizing technology. It gives people back control of their money, digital identity, data, and property like nothing else before it.

What we do

We’re the leading infrastructure company in Web3. This means we offer our partners everything from payment solutions (we call them 'Ramps') to minting software for digital collectibles, like NFTs. And over 20 million people around the world now trust our products — just take a look on Trustpilot.

We’re also big on collaborations. And we've worked on stunts, drops, and partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious and forward-thinking brands.

But that’s not all. We have also built our own consumer app because we wanted to see if we could build a better Web3 account. It’s taken off in a big way, and we're working hard to continually improve it and to strive for perfection.

So whatever your background, we’re sure there’s something for you here. Come help us build the future of Web3 and digital ownership.

You know your way around implementing machine learning systems in a safe and reliable manner, you’re familiar with cloud infrastructure, you have experience with getting complex systems set up in a stable manner,, and you’re aware of potential pitfalls in machine learning systems that should be navigated around.Now, you’re up for a challenge and are interested in having a significant impact on the success of MoonPay. You’re looking for an opportunity to stretch your ML capabilities to help a vibrant business scale up and scale out its machine learning capabilities.

What you will need…

• Prior experience with productionising ML systems is a must.

• Solid experience with Kubernetes, docker, deployment types (canary, blue-green etc.)

• Experience with setting up CI/CD systems using tools such as CircleCI, drone, Github actions, ArgoCD.

• Working experience with Big Data technologies such as Spark, Dataflow, and Flink.

• Experience with system design - keeping performance and efficiency in mind, whilst aware of trade-offs.

• Experience applying software engineering rigor to ML, including CI/CD/CT, unit-testing, automation etc.

• Hands-on experience with some MLOps tools such as KubeFlow, DVC, MLFlow.

• Experience with cloud providers, such as GCP, AWS, or Azure (we are a GCP house)

• Prior experience or a strong interest in FinTech, crypto, or web3 preferred.

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative, and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.
