About MoonPay
Hi, we’re MoonPay. We’re here to onboard the world to Web3.

Why? Because we think Web3 is a unique and democratising technology. It gives people back control of their money, digital identity, data, and property like nothing else before it.

What We Do
We’re the leading infrastructure company in Web3. This means we offer our partners everything from payment solutions (we call them 'Ramps') to minting software for digital collectibles, like NFTs. And over 20 million people around the world now trust our products — just take a look on Trustpilot.

We’re also big on collaborations. And we've worked on stunts, drops, and partnerships with some of the world's most prestigious and forward-thinking brands.

But that’s not all. We have also built our own consumer app because we wanted to see if we could build a better Web3 account. It’s taken off in a big way, and we're working hard to continually improve it and to strive for perfection.

So whatever your background, we’re sure there’s something for you here. Come help us build the future of Web3 and digital ownership.

Freedom, autonomy and responsibility

Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative, and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.

Please let us know if you require any accommodations for the interview process, and we’ll do our best to provide assistance.
Commitment To Diversity

Please be aware that MoonPay does not request an AI-led interview without seeing a recruiter or team member from MoonPay on video call. We won't ask for your personal identification documents or any money from you during your interview process with us. Be fraud smart! If you receive an email - claiming to be from MoonPay - but from an email address ending in anything other than @moonpay.com, please be aware that this is not us.
