The Opportunity: Join Our Stablecoin Platform Team
The Financial Markets team is responsible for Airwallex’s core FX and liquidity infrastructure. We’re now expanding into building the stablecoin infrastructure that will enable both customers and internal systems to buy, hold, send, and settle with tokenised currency globally. This includes support for near-instant global payments, on-chain liquidity, and seamless conversion between fiat and stablecoin balances. We’re building stablecoins into the core of Airwallex’s infrastructure, so they function as seamlessly as any fiat currency across our global platform.
We’re looking for a talented and hands-on engineering leader to drive this work forward, someone who can both architect and build reliable systems, while guiding a high-performing team through the complexities of blockchain integration, digital asset custody, and global payments infrastructure.
What You’ll Do:
Lead and grow a focused, high-impact engineering team building stablecoin infrastructure from the ground up.
Design and implement secure systems for key management, transaction signing, gas fee management, and blockchain integration
Own services that manage the full lifecycle of stablecoin transactions mint, burn, transfer, reconciliation
Build internal ledgering systems that track balances across multiple chains and token types
Integrate stablecoin infrastructure into Airwallex’s existing FX and payment systems, enabling seamless conversion between any supported currency and stablecoins
Work hands-on with engineers to write, review, and ship production code
Collaborate with product, infrastructure, and compliance teams to deliver reliable and auditable services
Who You Are:
A highly experienced engineer (8+ years) with deep expertise in object-oriented design and production-grade software development, including at least one strongly typed language (e.g. Kotlin, Java, C#, C++, Rust); Python experience is useful but not sufficient on its own
Comfortable leading a team while remaining hands-on. You set the technical bar by example, not by delegation
Proven experience building and integrating blockchain infrastructure (wallets, transaction flows, key management, etc.) into larger financial systems
Experienced in integrating new systems into legacy or distributed environments without introducing instability or regressions.
Strong grasp of secure system design, particularly around private key handling, signing, encryption, and operational controls
You mentor engineers through regular code reviews and technical guidance, and encourage sharing practical knowledge across the team
Able to quickly pick up unfamiliar tools or frameworks when needed and adjust to changing technical priorities.
Clear communicator who works well across engineering, product, and non-technical teams
Bonus: experience in FX, payments, or financial infrastructure is useful but not required
