Senior Software Engineer at Bastion

About Bastion Bastion provides the regulated infrastructure businesses need to hold, move, and issue stablecoins. Our platform combines custodial wallets, global payment orchestration, and stablecoin issuance. Customers can use each product independently or connect them into a single end-to-end flow. We operate through our own regulated entities, with compliance and risk controls built directly into the platform. We can also support customers operating under their own licenses with the compliance and financial operations required to run their programs. Overview We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our engineering team and build the core infrastructure that powers our stablecoin platform. In this role, you'll design and ship services that handle custody, transfers, issuance, and compliance workflows—systems that process real money and require exceptional reliability and security. You'll work within one of our product verticals (Custody, On/Off Ramps, Issuance, or Shared Services), collaborating closely with product managers, compliance, and other engineers. Our teams are small and cross-functional, which means your work ships fast and has direct impact on customers and partners. This is an opportunity to build financial infrastructure at a 30+ person company where ownership is real. We expect engineers to take initiative. Whether that's shipping features, improving observability, or strengthening the codebase. If you want to work on hard problems in a regulated domain where your contributions matter immediately, we'd love to talk.

We are a startup, so the pace is fast and the specific work will change. You need to be okay with that. If you think this is something you can handle, we will be excited to speak with you. We are building out our engineering hub in New York City, and this role is based our of our SoHo office. We work in a hybrid-but-flexible way (no set days in the office, come in when you think its effective, travel when you like) - most of us are in 2-3 days a week. First 30 days: Learn the rails, ship confidently Ramp on service architecture, CI/CD, observability, and engineering conventions Ship a small feature slice or quality-of-life improvement in one service Add tests, dashboards, or runbook notes for the areas you touch Build relationships with your vertical team and cross-functional partners Outcomes Multiple safe production deploys with follow-up verification You can run core services locally and trace requests through logs/metrics Updated documentation and/or PRs that improve onboarding in your area By 90 days: Own a service surface and raise the bar Take ownership of a service or capability across our product, with an eye toward production-readiness Lead a medium-scope project: updating an API contract, implementing a partner integration, or improving robustness of a criti
