Senior Application Engineer; Monet Bank

Monet Bank is pioneering the future of banking and money movement—faster, cheaper, and crypto-native. The passage of the Genius Act has enabled a future we want to explore where interchange fees and inefficient payment rails may be replaced with a modern, programmable alternative powered by stable coins.

At our core, we believe Monet Bank is the essential bridge between crypto and traditional finance (Trad Fi).

As a profitable, well-capitalized Texas state, FDIC-insured bank, Monet sees the fundamental inefficiency of the 2-3% card network payments and seeks to build a strong team to understand and pursue the future of money and banking.

See our open positions below if you want to work on the new frontier of banking projects like a stablecoin-based payment that would empower merchants to reclaim margins, Fintechs to operate cross-border at scale, and tech giants to embed crypto into their platforms without friction.
