## Job description

## About the job

## About HIFI

HIFI is a stablecoin infrastructure company building technology for the next-generation of financial products. We build tools for payments and tokenized money products across money movement, cards, and capital markets. Institutions and enterprises already use our platform and APIs to move billions of dollars in production environments around the world, and we are still early.

Founded in 2022, our organization is flat and our team is talent dense. We work in person at our office in Flatiron and are intentional about who we work with. We've raised $37 million from world-class investors, including a Series A led by Left Lane Capital.

## About the Team

The Talent team is responsible for hiring at HIFI. Following its Series A, HIFI is growing quickly, and the talent team is building out every part of the company, from engineering and compliance to partnerships and operations. The team looks for people who can do excellent work in a fast-moving, regulated space, and it cares about running a process that's rigorous, fast, and respectful of candidates' time.

As a Recruiter at HIFI, you'll own searches end to end: working with hiring managers to scope roles, sourcing candidates directly, running interview processes, and closing offers. You'll work closely with the founders on HIFI's most important hires and help build the processes and tools the company needs to keep hiring well as the team scales.

## Responsibilities

- Run full-cycle searches across engineering, compliance, partnerships, and operations, from scoping the role with the hiring manager through offer and close.
- Source candidates directly, with a focus on people who aren't actively looking, and build pipelines for roles HIFI will need to fill as it grows.
- Manage the candidate experience from first outreach to signed offer, keeping the process fast, organized, and clear about where things stand.
- Partner with the founders and hiring managers to define what a strong hire looks like for each role, and design interview loops that test for it.
- Prepare offers and manage closing conversations, including compensation, equity, and competing offers.
- Own HIFI's applicant tracking system and recruiting data, and report on pipeline health, time to hire, and offer acceptance rates.
- Help build HIFI's employer brand through job posts, outreach, and a presence in the fintech and crypto talent communities.
- Improve hiring processes as the team scales, including interviewer training, structured feedback, and onboarding handoffs.

You might be a fit if

- 3+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally at a high-growth startup or in-house at a fintech, crypto, or financial services company.
- Track record of hiring for technical roles, plus experience recruiting for at least one of compliance, partnerships, sales, or operations.
- Strong sourcing skills, with a history of finding and closing candidates who weren't actively looking.
- Experience managing several searches at once without letting candidates or hiring managers go without updates.
- Comfortable running offer and closing conversations, including compensation, equity, and competing offers.
- Hands-on experience with an applicant tracking system (e.g., Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever) and using recruiting data to improve the process.
- Good judgment about candidates, and willing to push back on hiring managers when a role is poorly scoped or a candidate isn't the right fit.
- Clear, direct writer, both in outreach and in internal communication.
- Comfortable in an early-stage environment where processes are still being built and priorities shift as the company grows.

## Why This Role Matters

The people HIFI hires over the next few years will determine what the company becomes. This role will shape who joins after the Series A, how the team grows, and what hiring at HIFI looks like as the company scales.

Additional Requirement Must be within a commutable distance from our office and able to work in person most days of the week.

## Equal Opportunity Statement

HIFI is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected status. We also provide reasonable accommodations during the hiring process.

## About HIFI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: HIFI builds composable API infrastructure for programmable money, enabling developers to move, convert, route, and orchestrate value across stablecoins and bank rails.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; total funding $8.2M)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States
- **Founded**: 2022 (per LinkedIn) / 2023 (per Built In)
- **Founders**: Zach Walsh (CEO & Co-Founder); Jake Walsh (Head of Partnerships)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial services / Payments infrastructure (stablecoin and programmable money)
- **Target customers**: B2B – developers, fintechs, enterprises (from two-person startups to Fortune 100s) who need to move money programmatically across blockchains and traditional bank rails.
- **Mission statement**: “Rethink what a dollar can be” – turn money into software with embedded rules, behaviors, and logic.

## Products & Services
- **HIFI API Platform**: A set of composable API endpoints that handle deposits (bank, card, wallet), payment routing to any destination, programmable capital controls (approvals, limits, restrictions), and issuance/management of real-world assets as on-chain tokens.
- **Stablecoin Infrastructure**: Multi-chain settlement engines, private transactions, cross-border payouts, automated treasury management, and conversion between stablecoins and fiat.
- **Compliance & Security Layer**: Built-in KYC/KYB, sanctions screening, SOC 2 Type II compliance, hardened key custody, isolated wallets, role-based access, and encrypted transaction telemetry.
- **Bank Partnerships**: Registered MSB with principal-agent bank partnerships for settlement and custody in a regulated environment.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total raised = **$8.2M** (Seed + Pre-seed rounds); billions of dollars in payment volume already processed.
- **Notable Investors**: Antler (led pre-seed round); 10 investors in the 2024 Seed round; other unnamed participants.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew **+171% YoY** (LinkedIn) to ~19–25 employees.
  - Billions of dollars moved through the platform.
  - Active in multiple regions (US, Middle East, Japan) with global operations.
  - Recent job postings (Software Engineer, Payments Program Manager) signal scaling.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Programmable money at the asset level** – Not just a payment rail; money itself becomes code (rules, logic, behaviors embedded in the token).
- **Dual infrastructure** – Bridges stablecoin rails (multi-chain) and traditional bank rails in a single API, with MSB licensing and bank partnerships for regulatory compliance.
- **Security-first design** – SOC 2 Type II, audited key custody, deterministic settlement across chains and banks.
- **Experienced team** – Founders and engineers from Uber Payments, Mastercard, Visa, Block, Google, and Stanford Blockchain Research.

## Strategic Focus
- Scale global payout and treasury automation for enterprises and fintechs.
- Deepen multi-chain support and enable “agentic commerce” (software that can hold, decide, and move money autonomously).
- Expand regulatory coverage (already in US, Middle East, Japan) and bank partnerships.
- Continue to hire engineering talent to build complex transaction logic and infrastructure.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Values**: “Think like an owner,” “Progress over perfection,” “Trust is built into the stack,” and “Default to written thinking.” Emphasis on long-term value, shipping and learning in production, and designing for systemic impact.
- **Work Environment**: Hybrid model (employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work); primary office in New York City. In-office presence expected at NYC headquarters.
- **Team & Growth**: Small but fast-growing team (~19–25 people) with a technical majority (8 out of ~14 identified as technical). High ownership and direct impact on global financial infrastructure.
- **Perks & Stack**: Tech stack includes Node.js, AWS, SQL, JavaScript, Figma, Slack; interest in people who care about quality and impact. Career page highlights solving hard problems in payments and stablecoins alongside a mission-driven team.
