Developer Entry Level Jobs in Web3

Engineering at Circle:

Over the past year, Circle has been expanding its product offerings and unveiled Circle APIs: a set of solutions and smarter technology to help businesses accept payments in a more global, scalable and efficient alternative to traditional banking rails (spoiler: we’re using USDC under the hood).

Over the next 12 months, we’re going to rapidly grow our API customer base and enable even more businesses to easily integrate and benefit from the breakthrough of programmable money on the internet.

If you’re data-driven, interested in building something meaningful and would love to work in an entrepreneurial environment, we can’t wait to hear from you.

You will aspire to our four core values:

• Multistakeholder - you have dedication and commitment to our customers, shareholders, employees and families and local communities.
• Mindful - you seek to be respectful, an active listener and to pay attention to detail.
• Driven by Excellence - you are driven by our mission and our passion for customer success which means you relentlessly pursue excellence, that you do not tolerate mediocrity and you work intensely to achieve your goals.

What you’ll do:

As a Software Engineer Intern on the Circle Platform Services team, you will build and own scalable microservices that are responsible for reliable and secure APIs that transfer value & assets across all blockchain protocols (think Bitcoin and Ethereum, for example) as well as traditional banking protocols (think credit cards, bank transfers etc).

You'll work on:

• Building publicly accessible APIs that make it simple for developers to integrate with complex payment systems
• Integrating Platform Services with leading banks & financial technologies to allow an ever greater number of Circle customers access to fast, secure & low cost payment channels
• Writing the infrastructure to deliver great payment experiences, including data sources (SQL or NoSQL), messaging systems and APIs
• Extending Circle’s in-house blockchain systems infrastructure to support the tokenization of the world

You'll bring to Circle (Not all required):

• Interest and/or experience in object oriented languages like Java and Go.
• Experience with payment systems like credit cards and bank transfers
• A broad understanding of API design and REST principles
• Experience with Cloud Services (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, etc)
• Experience with SQL databases and designing schemas
• Experience in the deployment of production-quality, scalable software
• A focus on coding standards and code quality -- a desire to have great test coverage to enable continuous delivery
• Excellent communication skills, able to collaborate with remote teams, share ideas and present concepts effectively
