Software Engineer

Experience: No minimum years, but we expect to see what you've shipped. We welcome new graduates, career-switchers and self-taught engineers.

About Us

Suave Money is building Phoenix Market — a fiat-to-crypto on/off-ramp that lets users convert USD to USDC instantly via Zelle, with no additional KYC. Founded by ex-Jump Crypto and Y Combinator alumni, and backed by a16z, HF0, and Orange DAO.

We're a small team preparing the next version of our mobile app, and we're hiring a software engineer to help build it.

What you'll own

• The mobile app. The React Native app people use to buy and sell.
• The backend. The TypeScript backend behind every trade, including zkTLS payment-proof verification.
• Smart contracts. The Solidity contracts that hold and release sellers' USDC.
• Testing and security. The code moves real money, so every change gets tests, code review and a security check.

What we're looking for

• You've built and shipped things. A side project, a hackathon build, open-source work, an internship or a job. We look at what you've made more than where you studied.
• TypeScript and React. Or you've gone deep in another language and can pick them up quickly.
• Fundamentals. You can reason about data, APIs and failure cases, and you ask questions when something's unclear.
• AI coding tools. You should be comfortable shipping with AI. You're responsible for every line you merge and should be able to explain it.
• In person in SF. We work together from the office. Tasks often arrive loosely defined, and you'll work out the details.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. We can't sponsor visas for this role.
• Nice to have. React Native or Expo; Solidity or another smart-contract language; an interest in crypto, payments or cryptography. No crypto background is needed.
