The Ballers
The crypto companies you know the name of, unless you literally live under a rock.
Bitrefill
You know it as: The service that lets you top-up your phone with bitcoin — that’s only how they started though. Since 2014 the Swedish company expanded into a full e-commerce solution.
More about Bitrefill also in the Full Bitrefill Datafile.
Looking for: Developers and engineers — Bitrefill is currently expanding out of EU and has joined an initiative to develop a LN protocol for Bitcoin, which is why they are hiring. They also very recently raised 2 MM USD of funding from Poseidon Group, Fulgur Ventures, BHB Network, Chainside, inbitcoin and others. A notable backer is Charlie Lee.
Stripe
You know it as: The payment processor.
Looking for: Backend API engineers — Hiring in Seattle for the Payouts team. The team works to ensure money gets to its destinations safely, reliably and in a cost effective manner.
Kraken
You know it as: One of the oldest crypto exchanges that had major hurdles serving their traders in times of high load but never actually scammed anyone or got hacked.
Looking for: Pretty much anybody, all over the world and remote. There is demand for business strategists, engineers, designers, compliance staff, account managers and customer support.
Kraken is based in San Fran and that’s where they primarily look, but related to their recent ventures there is also need for staff to employ in their new Tokyo base.
For a good bit of the openings they are OK with remote work.
Coinbase
You know it as: The crypto onramp for regular Americans, platforms split between a managed crypto wallet, a basic exchange and a professional trading interface.
Looking for: Pretty much anybody. Coinbase is filling up their several US offices and also locations in London, Dublin and Tokyo. After big layoffs, they are now looking to fill roles ranging from Business Development through Design and Engineering to Legal and Compliance.
