Software Engineer - Stablecoins

This role will require being full-time onsite at our Toronto office to support collaborative team dynamics and innovative problem-solving.

About the Stablecoins Team:

The Stablecoins team at BitGo builds and operates the infrastructure powering our Stablecoin-as-a-Service (SCaaS) platform. We enable program partners like fintechs and financial institutions to launch compliant, fiat-backed stablecoins under BitGo's regulatory framework.

The team owns the full stack: from smart contract deployment and on-chain operations (minting, burning, cross-chain bridging) to backend services for order management, policy enforcement, and partner integrations. You'll work on systems that handle real-world value at scale across Ethereum, L2 networks, and additional chains.

Why this team:

• Work with real money at scale with actual USD flowing through your code
• Own the full stack from Solidity contracts to Kafka pipelines
• Build systems that partners depend on — your work directly impacts client success
• Join a small, high-visibility team at the early stages of a growing product line
• Operate within BitGo's regulated infrastructure, including trust charters and institutional-grade custody

You'll tackle challenges like scaling infrastructure to support billions in TVL.

Responsibilities:

• Build strong, resilient, and robust APIs, libraries, and services to power our ScaaS offering
• Work on smart contract infrastructure for stablecoin minting, burning, and on-chain operations across multiple blockchain networks
• Build and maintain backend services that integrate with on-chain stablecoin contracts and support our Stablecoin-as-a-Service (SCaaS) program partners
• Own functionality and scalability features by taking responsibility from inception to deployment and customer integration
• Expose and document functionality to the UI, third-party developers, and our external tooling
• Improve internal workflows by adding tooling to make it easier for BitGo's client facing teams to service customers better
• Collaborate closely with all engineering teams to ensure consistency in understanding of technical requirements and overall work quality
• Provide mentorship to your peers in the broader engineering team through code reviews and education on best practices
• Coordinate with globally distributed teammates

Skills & Experience:
