Sphere Labs
The infrastructure moving the world's money today was built for another era: slow rails, walls between markets, and compliance layered in over time creating friction. Sphere Labs is building what comes next: modern, compliance-native infrastructure for cross-border payments and settlement, designed from the ground up to work for the businesses and regulated institutions it actually runs through. We work in active partnership with banks, licensed entities, and the regulators and jurisdictions shaping how global money moves, because the infrastructure that earns institutional trust has to be built alongside it.
Backed by Coinbase, Kraken, The Chernin Group, Jump Trading, Hudson River Trading, and some of the world's largest sovereign affiliates, we're a fully remote, global team building at the moment stablecoins are crossing into mainstream finance and regulated institutions are ready for modern rails. We hire self-starters: strong communicators and systematic thinkers who can look at a blank page and build something real. If you want a meaningful role in how global money movement evolves, and the upside that comes with getting in early, we'd like to meet you.
What You'll Do
Design Language: Work with our existing Frontend team to build a series of reusable components and design features. You will help establish the framework through which we launch all of our financial products, from internal operations dashboards to customer facing applications, public webpages, guides, and documentation.
Global Audience: Design and develop for multiple audiences in a way that resonates with their unique needs. You will design different interfaces for each of the regions that we serve - learning what appeals to these unique audiences, what they use our product for, and how they prefer to interact with our business.
Data Driven Design: Analyze user behavior and engagement metrics to develop optimized flows. You will work with and develop our analytics engine to build intuitive flows and measure user engagement as we roll out new products and features.
Collaboration: Work with your peers in the Product and Engineering teams to take key features live and define the way that our customers interact with our financial solutions.
Development: Write high-quality code with an emphasis on reusability, reliability, and ease of use. Your code should be extensively tested to avoid accessibility issues in production and to ensure that we are delivering usable solutions to our customers.
Documentation: Create and maintain technical documents including flow diagrams, development / testing documentation, and implementation guides to advise other teams on how to interact with your work. You will be expected to work with other teams to build external documentation and user guides for our clients and customers to use the features you build.
User Testing: Work directly with product owners, end users, and clients to get feedback on your solutions before they go live. You will get active feedback directly from the stakeholders who have developed and who will use the features you are implementing and will use this information to deliver industry leading solutions.
What We're Looking For
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is a plus; alternatively an extensive history of independent code development.
Proven experience as a frontend engineer, with a minimum of 6 years of experience.
Experience working with multiple teams distilling requirements and testing with stakeholders before taking features live.
Experience within payments, crypto, fintech, and BaaS are plus but are not required.
Proficiency in common web technologies and either a proficiency with or a willingness to learn: TypeScript, NextJS, Tailwind CSS, React, Figma.
Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Why Sphere?
We sit at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and regulated finance — at the moment those worlds are finally converging. That means:
The window is now: For the first time in decades, the backbone of cross-border payments is being rebuilt. Legacy systems are fading, stablecoins are entering institutional finance, and the next settlement layer is being shaped right now. We're building it alongside the institutions that will run it, not around them.
High ownership, no playbook: This is early-stage work. You’ll be making decisions, building processes from scratch, and setting the direction instead of just following one. We’re looking for people who don’t wait for instructions, but jump in and figure things out.
Adaptability is the job: Strategy pivots here aren't failures, they're how we stay ahead of a fast-moving market and that’s our strength.
Real traction, real stakes: SpherePay is live and trusted by 200+ businesses. SphereNet is in active development with banks and regulators across 18 jurisdictions and counting. There’s real demand, real momentum, and a huge opportunity to shape what comes next.
