Overview

At Rain, we’re rebuilding the global financial pipes money flows through. Our infrastructure makes stablecoins usable in the real world by powering credit card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient. If you’re curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial system, we’d love to talk.

Our Ethos

Operating at the epicenter of stablecoin innovation means moving fast and thinking globally. Our team reflects the diverse, international audiences we serve. We hire people who stay agile as the tide ebbs and flows, fix what’s broken without waiting, chase trends before they peak, and remember to have fun through it all.

Many of our engineers are based in NYC but we are open to fully remote candidates.

What you'll do

  • Be a critical part of the technical and product roadmap

  • Contribute to our backend and integrate a variety of third party services

  • Scale our infrastructure to millions of end users globally

  • Rapidly ship new capabilities to our customers

  • Help drive the architectural decisions of a rapidly evolving product

  • Interact with smart contracts across multiple chains

What we're looking for

  • Experience with NodeJs and other backend technologies

  • A builder mentality, someone who experiments with side projects

  • This position is for folks with 2-10+ years experience, compensation will be based on experience

Nice to haves, but not mandatory

  • Fintech experience (neobank or card issuing experience gets extra brownie points)

  • Experience with smart contracts and blockchains

Benefits

Our team works hard, so we make sure our benefits do too. Here’s what you can expect as a Rainmaker:

  • Top-tier coverage: We cover 95% of Medical, Dental, and Vision premiums.

  • 401(k) with matching: Invest in your future, just like we’re investing in ours.

  • Ownership that matters: Every team member gets equity because we believe in building together.

  • Work your way: Flexible hybrid setup with a prime SoHo office for NYC-based teammates.

  • Unlimited PTO: Because time to rest and reset is just as important as time to ship.

  • Product-first perks: Monthly budget to test our cards and features like a real user.

  • Wellness support: Monthly stipend to spend on fitness, therapy, or whatever keeps you thriving.

  • Home office setup: One-time stipend to create a space that works for you.

  • Team connection: Frequent company events, team dinners, and offsites to stay connected.

Compensation will vary based on experience from $160,000-$250,000
