Teams and roles

Engineering has 7 of 14 roles, and the go-to-market team has 4.

• Engineering: backend engineers build the payment APIs. Product engineers build the SDK for Checkout. Protocol engineers write smart contracts across chains. These three roles are open in both New York and Singapore. A forward deployed engineer in New York works directly with large customers.
• Go-to-market: business development and technical support in New York, a client success manager in Singapore, and Fun's first dedicated marketer.
• Legal: a head of compliance, the first compliance hire, who owns the sanctions program.
• Product and design: a senior product manager and a senior product designer.

Most New York roles give pay ranges, such as $150,000 to $300,000 for a backend engineer.

What they look for

Most engineering roles ask for TypeScript. Backend roles also ask for distributed systems and API design. Product engineers need three or more years with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React. Protocol engineers need production smart contract work in a language such as Solidity, Rust, or Move. Most roles ask for experience in crypto, blockchain, or payments, as a must or as a plus. Most senior roles ask for five or more years. Two roles ask you to use AI every day, and one names Claude. The head of compliance needs eight or more years and working knowledge of OFAC sanctions (the US sanctions rules).
