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 16 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. At the start of 2023, we launched 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, so we’re working to hone it further. 

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

Locations Supported 🌍
London, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Europe (Remote)

About the Opportunity ✍️
Our Core Platform Engineering team at MoonPay is responsible for providing a resilient, secure, production-ready platform that enables MoonPay to safely deploy applications and services in a self-serve, repeatable manner. We believe that Platform Engineering should support both our product delivery and operational teams by surfacing data from our production environment and driving meaningful change based upon what we learn from it.
 

What you’ll do 👀

In the short term we need to increase the resiliency and reliability of our current PaaS solution with things such as:

• Improving the maintainability of our infrastructure as code

• Building dashboards, monitoring & alerting mechanisms with Datadog

• Load testing and performance tuning our production services

• Lifecycling and maintenance of our Kubernetes clusters

In the medium to long term you’ll get to:

• Implement new and shiny technologies on top of Kubernetes as you see fit to ensure our tech can scale with the business.

• Develop and integrate solutions with a bias for automation in order to improve and maintain reliability across the production estate and make recovery easier.

• Design and track metrics for site uptime and performance ensuring high levels of visibility are maintained.

• Own the deployment pipelines and continuously improve our monitoring and alerting capabilities.

• Collaborate closely with all other engineering functions to provide timely feedback from our environments.

• Support Engineering on their journey to deliver better software, faster and more safely (think “It’s OK to deploy on Fridays” 😎).
