- **Company:** The Better Money Company
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-08-11

## Job description

## TL;DR

We sell trust, and security is core to that promise. We're looking for someone to lead how we think about code and operational security as we scale. You'll help design the systems, practices, and safeguards that enable us to grow without compromising on that trust.

## About us

We believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments. We see key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption, and we’re going to fix them – starting with building a clearinghouse. We’re a small, scrappy team based in NYC, we’ve raised $10M from a16z crypto and other excellent partners, and we’re going to bring better money to the world.

What you'll do:

- Own our security posture across application security, infrastructure security, and operational security.
- Conduct code reviews, threat modeling, and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Design and implement security controls, monitoring, and incident response processes appropriate for a regulated payments environment.
- Establish security policies, procedures, and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, etc.) as we scale.
- Hire, manage, and supervise specialist contractors or future security hires as the team grows.
- Ship internal security tooling and features. We need someone who can build, not just advise.
- Work closely with engineering to embed security into our development lifecycle from the start.

What We're Looking For:

- 5+ years of experience in security engineering, with meaningful time at a payments company, bank, or other regulated financial institution.
- Experience with cloud environments (GCP) and infrastructure as code providers (Terraform).
- Breadth across both application/code security and operational security. You don't need to be the world's deepest expert in both, but you need to be knowledgeable in each and capable of hiring and managing those who are.
- You can write production code, not just review it. Ideally you've shipped internal tools or security features yourself.
- Experience building security programs at early-stage or high-growth companies, ideally from scratch.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to payments and banking (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, state money transmission, etc.).
- You view a lack of specificity as an opportunity for ownership.
- Based in New York City (or willing to relocate).

## Our Values

- Be offended by the status quo - a payment taking 3 days and costing 3% is offensive. Every day that people interact with legacy financial infrastructure costs humanity time and money. Bring the future forward with righteous indignation.
- Be all over it - operate with extreme urgency and accountability. Know the numbers, meet the right people, answer every email, go the extra mile. Ask yourself: can it be done today?
- We sell trust - trust is easy to lose. Security and integrity are our foundation. Use every interaction and every product as an opportunity to build trust. This is non-negotiable.
- Do the dishes - we are all owners. Put ego aside and get shit done.
- Be the glue - pick each other up and make each other better. Be direct, be helpful, and assume positive intent. Win as a team.
- We enjoy the crucible! We are on a mission to change money. It takes a lot of optimism to attack such an ambitious goal. Our opportunity is a privilege and we don’t forget that. Especially when the journey is hard.

If these values speak to you, come talk to us!

Benefits:

We're playing the long-game. We think you should too. This means investing in our employees. We offer comprehensive (and growing) benefits, including:

- Competitive salary and equity
- Comprehensive insurance (medical/dental/vision)
- Unlimited vacation: Take time when you need it
- Periodic off-sites
- Daily lunch provided

Equal Opportunity Employment:

The Better Money Company is an equal opportunity employer. We are looking for the best!

## About The Better Money Company

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: The Better Money Company is building a stablecoin clearinghouse that enables 1:1 fungibility between stablecoins for payments and settlement, allowing fintechs and banks to move stablecoins at exactly $1 without market-based transactions.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed VC)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Sam Broner, Adam Zuckerman

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Technology (Stablecoin Infrastructure / Payments)
- **Target customers**: Fintechs, neobanks, payment companies, banks, and stablecoin issuers (B2B)
- **Mission or purpose**: To build the next era of money by solving the structural issues preventing widespread stablecoin adoption, starting with a clearinghouse that makes stablecoins swappable at par.

## Products & Services
- **Stablecoin Clearinghouse**: A platform that connects stablecoin issuers to fintechs, banks, and other businesses. It enables 1:1 fungibility between stablecoins, allowing companies to send, receive, and settle payments in any supported stablecoin at exactly $1, without market-based trading. The clearinghouse supports GENIUS-compliant stablecoins (e.g., USDC, USDG, PYUSD, SBC, CASH, mUSD, frxUSD, RLUSD) and is blockchain-agnostic, initially supporting Ethereum and Solana. Key features include guaranteed settlement times, redemption-based swaps, fixed fees, and compliant source of funds.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $10M (Seed round, announced March 31, 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: BoxGroup, Charlie Songhurst, Packy McCormick, Michael Tannenbaum, The Fintech Fund, and 10+ other investors.
- **Growth Signals**: The company is very early-stage (founded in 2025, seed round closed in early 2026). It is building a novel infrastructure layer for the stablecoin ecosystem, targeting a clear market need for fungibility between stablecoins for payment use cases. The team is small (approximately 5 employees) and actively hiring for key engineering and compliance roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Purpose-built for payments**: Unlike existing infrastructure built for trading, the clearinghouse is designed from first principles for payments and settlement, with no market-based transactions, meaning stablecoins move at exactly $1.
- **1:1 Fungibility**: Solves the core coordination problem of moving value between different stablecoins and blockchains without needing to trade or seed liquidity.
- **Compliance-first**: Funds are sourced from GENIUS-compliant issuers and KYBd clients, addressing a key regulatory concern for partners.
- **Fixed, predictable pricing**: Fees do not change based on market conditions, enabling partners to build with predictable costs.

## Strategic Focus
- **Build the clearinghouse network**: The immediate priority is onboarding stablecoin issuers and payment companies to the clearinghouse to create network effects.
- **Expand chain and stablecoin support**: Currently supporting Ethereum and Solana, with plans to expand to more blockchains and any GENIUS-compliant stablecoin.
- **Develop future products**: The company plans to build additional products and tools to help partners "unleash the potential of reliable stablecoins."

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven**: The company is tackling a fundamental problem in the financial system, aiming to make money "faster, more open, more flexible, and more resilient."
- **Early-stage impact**: With a small team (~5 employees), new hires will have significant ownership and influence over the product and company direction.
- **Hybrid work environment**: The company operates a hybrid workspace in New York City, with employees engaging in a combination of remote and on-site work. Some roles are listed as in-office.
- **Founding team**: Led by Sam Broner, who is deeply passionate about fixing the "status quo" of money, and co-founder Adam Zuckerman.
- **Well-funded for seed stage**: The $10M seed round from top-tier investors provides a strong runway to execute on the vision.
