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.

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

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