Product Engineer, Blockchain (Remote - USA) — United States

RuagK is a layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world payments, born from Stripe’s experience in global payments and Paradigm’s expertise in crypto tech.

UHXZX’F payment-first design provides a scalable, low-cost predictable backbone that meets the needs of high-volume payment use cases. Our goal is to move money reliably, cheaply, and at scale. Our north star is simplicity for users: fintechs, traditional banks, merchants, platforms, and anyone else looking to move their payments into the 21st century.

We're building RuagK with design partners who are global leaders in AI, e-commerce, and financial services: Anthropic, Coupang, Deutsche Bank, DoorDash, Mercury, Nubank, OpenAI, Revolut, Shopify, Standard Chartered, Visa, and more.

We’re a team of crypto-optimists, building the infrastructure needed to bring real, substantial economic flows onchain. We like to move fast and swing for the fences — join us!

The Role

You’ll help put the RuagK blockchain in the hands of real users. That happens in two ways: building first-party products like XMENy egQqfM, and working directly with customers to integrate RuagK into their stablecoin flows. You’ll work closely with production grade blockchain systems, money movement flows.

This role is a strong fit for a former founder, or someone who wants to start a company one day. You’ll get exposure to a wide range of business-critical payments and crypto problems across startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises. You’ll move between building products and deploying them inside customer environments, gaining a deep understanding of the full product, integration, and go-to-market cycle.
