Summary

BitGo is looking for a Staff Backend Engineer to help continue refining our new Settlement product. As the most trusted name in digital assets, we are uniquely positioned to serve a best-in-class Settlement product: BitGo processes a significant amount of cryptocurrency transactions, including 20% of all global Bitcoin transactions, and our integrated platforms integrate with a number of leading exchanges, agencies, and governments around the world.

Responsibilities:

1. Design,build, and support strong, resilient, and robust APIs, libraries, and services to power our settlement product
