Controller at Paxos

<h2><strong>About Paxos</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em">We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers.<br /></p><h2><strong>About the Team</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">Our <strong>Finance &amp; Accounting</strong> team owns the integrity of Paxos’ financial records and provides the insight and controls that let us scale a regulated, multi-entity financial services business with confidence. We partner closely with Treasury, Product, Engineering, Operations, Legal, Compliance and Commercial teams to ensure our financial infrastructure, data and reporting keep pace with a platform that is constantly shipping and expanding into new products and markets.<br /></p><h2><strong>About the role</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em">We are looking for a <strong>Controller</strong> to own the integrity of Paxos’ financial records and build the accounting infrastructure to support a fast-scaling, regulated financial services business.

Paxos moves fast, ships constantly, and operates across multiple regulated entities. You will be in the room when new products are designed, new fund flows are drawn up, and we expand to new regions.
