> AI agents: this is one page of Nextmove’s FDE site, in Markdown. Nextmove is a job board and free career service for forward deployed engineers (FDEs). Each posting is classified from its text, not its title: the kind of work, how much of it is production code, pre-sales weight, time at customer sites, travel, remote arrangement, level and posted base pay. The site also publishes the aggregates: median pay by level, metro, company and kind of work, and which companies started hiring FDEs each week. Every page under https://nextmove.md/fde is served this way; the index of pages is https://nextmove.md/llms.txt. # Forward Deployed Engineer Canonical URL: https://nextmove.md/fde/jobs/2bcb2e4ef4a0a6f2 The Better Money Company posts a FDE role to build what the customer runs in New York, NY with no pay posted.

We’re building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. We’re looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer who lives at the boundary between us and our customers. You'll come in earlier than a typical FDE - you'll help define the product surface area of what we build together with our partners. You'll translate customer requests into feedback that guides our product roadmap. ### About Us We believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments. We see key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption, and we’re going to fix them – starting with building a clearinghouse. We’re a small, scrappy team based in NYC, we’ve raised $10M from a16z Crypto and other excellent partners, and we’re going to bring better money to the world. ### What You’ll Do - Own the full integration lifecycle with customers and partners—from initial scoping and technical design through implementation, testing, and go-live. - Be the connective tissue between our customers and our product. Digest, triage, and scope customer needs into actionable product input that shapes what we build next. - Design and build shared tooling, SDKs, and documentation that make integrating with us fast and painless. - Debug production issues across system boundaries—when something breaks between us and a partner, you’re the first responder. - The dishes. ### What We’re Looking For - 3+ years of experience building and shipping integrations with payment systems, financial infrastructure, and/or banking partners. - You’ve been the person on the other end of the API – you know what good (and bad) integration experiences feel like. - Excellent communication skills. You can translate between engineering-speak and customer-speak without losing fidelity. - You thrive in ambiguity – you view a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership. - Preferred but not required to have experience building with stablecoins and/or blockchains. ### Our Values - Be offended by the status quo - a payment taking 3 days and costing 3% is offensive. Every day that people interact with legacy financial infrastructure costs humanity time and money. Bring the future forward with righteous indignation. - Be all over it- operate with extreme urgency and accountability. Know the numbers, meet the right people, answer every email, go the extra mile. Ask yourself: can it be done today? - We sell trust - trust is easy to lose. Security and integrity are our foundation. Use every interaction and every product as an opportunity to build trust. This is non-negotiable. - Do the dishes - we are all owners. Put ego aside and get shit done. - Be the glue - pick each other up and make each other better. Be direct, be helpful, and assume positive intent. Win as a team. - We enjoy the crucible! We are on a mission to change money. It takes a lot of optimism to attack such an ambitious goal. Our opportunity is a privilege and we don’t forget that. Especially when the journey is hard. If these values speak to you, come talk to us! ### Benefits We're playing the long-game. We think you should too. This means investing in our employees. We offer comprehensive (and growing) benefits, including: - Competitive salary and equity - Comprehensive insurance (medical/dental/vision) - Unlimited vacation: Take time when you need it - Periodic off-sites - Daily lunch provided ### Equal Opportunity Employment The Better Money Company is an equal opportunity employer. We are looking for the best!
