## Job description

## About Velocity

Velocity is on a mission to unify the world of fiat and digital assets by leveraging stablecoins to optimise liquidity, facilitate cross-border transactions, and seamlessly integrate with existing global banking, payment, and treasury infrastructures. With strategic partnerships—such as our collaboration with Fireblocks—and a clear regulatory-first approach, Velocity aims to transform global commerce through four key use cases:

- Stablecoin Payouts: Enabling global payouts to consumers and businesses in digital assets.
- Merchant Settlement: Capturing the FX wallets of the world’s largest merchant acquirers.
- Enterprise Cross-Border: Utilising stablecoins for faster fiat-to-fiat cross-border settlements.
- Treasury Management: Delivering a unified stablecoin/fiat treasury management platform to replace existing inefficient and costly setups.

We believe stablecoins, in their new regulated form, have the potential to redefine global treasury operations and financial services as a whole.
