Starlight Looking for Senior Software Engineer at New York, NY Full Time

At Starlight, we’re on a mission to make crypto accessible for companies of all stages and industries. We provide an all-in-one solution for companies to manage their digital assets from setting up wallets, to accessing liquidity, to tracking expenses. This lets our users focus on running their businesses instead of worrying about how to manage their digital assets.

Our culture is at the core of everything we do. We’re obsessed with building teams that are intentional about what they create and empathetic through their process. We know that Starlight is not possible without our trailblazing luminaries so we’ve curated an environment that makes you excited to come to work each day and build a product we’re proud of.

We’re backed by some of the brightest minds in digital assets and fintech, including Abstract Ventures, A* Capital, South Park Commons, Brevan Howard, and others. We’re also supported by a group of amazing founders, operators, and angel investors, including Balaji Srinivasan (ex-CTO, Coinbase), William Hockey (Co-Founder, Plaid), Raj Gokal (Co-Founder, Solana), Lachy Groom (ex-Stripe), and many more.

The Role

Starlight is based in New York City with hybrid/remote work flexibility. The product is built regardless where our team members are, but the magic happens when we’re in person.

In this role, you will…

• Build simple solutions across complex systems. You will build systems that work across different chains, protocols, and traditional fintech rails, while abstracting this complexity into a simple user experience.
• Build the future of corporate crypto finance. You will refine and scale our current offerings, as well as help innovate on new products.
• Own products from beginning to end. You’ll be responsible for working with design, product, and ops to execute projects from idea to launch.
• Grow with the company. As we grow, we’ll build up an engineering team around you. You will be responsible for shaping our engineering processes, tooling and culture.

You will be a great fit if…

• You have 4+ years of experience building high-quality production systems. Your experience does not necessarily need to be in web3 or fintech.
• You have experience mentoring or managing other engineers. There will be continuously more engineers joining the team. You will lay the technical foundation and guide those after you.
• You’re obsessive with your craft. You are detail-oriented and can build a product that delivers the best experience, even in all the nuances, to your customers. You can’t stand bugs and don’t shy away from user feedback.
• You are constantly looking for ways to scale yourself and others. At Starlight we trust each other to scale into new roles and skillsets. You will fit right in if you are excited about tackling and mastering new challenges from ground-zero.

You will stand out if…

• You have experience and interest in working at all layers of the stack. Experience with our stack (Typescript, React, NextJS, Postgres) is a plus but not a requirement.
• You have experience with DApps, payment rails, application security, or backend infrastructure.
