Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Hi, we’re Moon
Pay. We’re here to onboard the world to the decentralized economy.

Why? Because crypto and blockchain aren’t just technologies—they’re tools for global financial empowerment.

What We Do At Moon
Pay, we’re building the infrastructure that powers this new financial system. We make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, and trade crypto using everyday payment methods like cards, Apple Pay, Pay
Pal, Revolut and Venmo. We provide simple tools to send, receive, and manage stablecoins, so anyone can participate in the crypto economy confidently.

Trusted by nearly 30 million customers and over 500 companies, our secure, enterprise‑grade platform is driving mainstream crypto adoption worldwide.

We collaborate with innovative brands and projects to build secure, scalable solutions for a blockchain‑powered future. And we’re committed to doing it right—fully licensed in the U. S. and regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia—because trust and compliance are non‑negotiable.

But we’re just getting started. We’ve launched a consumer app that makes crypto accessible, intuitive, and usable for everyone, and it’s growing fast. We’re iterating every day to make it the best it can be.
