Circle is on a mission to make it possible for everyone, everywhere to create and share value. We're building a new kind of consumer finance. Unlike existing systems that are closed and proprietary, we use open internet standards and protocols, including the blockchain, to build our products. 


We've already made sending money around the world free and as easy as sending a text with Circle Pay. With Circle Trade, we're market makers for the top crypto currencies and offer OTC trading services. Now, we're expanding our offerings by building a cryptocurrency investment product (https://invest.circle.com) to enable anyone to buy and sell cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 


What does that mean for the global economy? It's more open. More inclusive. And more empowering. 


As a senior member of the platform organization you'll coach engineering managers on developing teams responsible for crypto-currency and fiat payment systems, trading infrastructure and a range of back-office applications.

What you'll work on

  • Co-ordinate larger-scale, cross-functional features across teams
  • Partner with product managers to ensure the platform teams' contributions align with product release schedules
  • Help engineers grow in their own career paths, learning new technologies and tackling increasingly challenging projects

What you'll bring to Circle

  • Experience mentoring new managers on building productive engineering teams
  • Excellent communication skills, able to listen to and share ideas, effectively present concepts and work with remote teams
  • Experience with designing, building and deploying secure, scalable services in the cloud
  • Results-oriented focus, encouraging managers to set and track goals for themselves and their teams
  • Able to coordinate the development of cross-team features between engineering teams, product managers and our technical operations team
  • Champion best practices and seek improvements to our agile processes
  • An interest in making an impact to the way money moves between people globally

Nice to have

  • Experience developing software in Java, Python or JavaScript
  • Experience with REST APIs and SQL Databases
  • Experience with payment gateways or real-time trading systems
  • Interest in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology
