About Ihsan Pay
Ihsan Pay is building a self-custodial stablecoin payment system that feels as simple and familiar as a modern bank account.
It will be integrated into the Ihsan messenger and enable users to:
- Hold stablecoins in self-custodial wallets
- Send money directly through conversations
- Pay and receive money through QR codes
- Accept payments as a local or online merchant
- Buy and sell stablecoins through integrated partners
- Fund and use a stablecoin-connected payment card
Our goal is to hide the complexity of wallets, blockchain addresses, seed phrases and network fees while allowing users to retain control over their money.
The role
We are looking for a senior backend and blockchain engineer to become the founding technical owner of Ihsan Pay.
You will design and build the first version of our payment infrastructure, working closely with our existing messenger development team.
This is not primarily a token, NFT or DeFi role. We are building reliable consumer payment infrastructure where security, accuracy and usability are essential.
What you will build
- Embedded self-custodial wallets using Privy, Turnkey or comparable infrastructure
- Stablecoin transfers on Solana
- Username and phone-number-to-wallet resolution
- Money transfers inside messenger conversations
- Personal and merchant QR payments
- Payment requests, receipts and transaction history
- Sponsored network fees and gas abstraction
- Blockchain monitoring and transaction reconciliation
- Merchant payment APIs, webhooks and checkout infrastructure
- Sumsub KYC/KYB integration
- On/off-ramp integrations with providers such as Paybis, Transak, Mercuryo or MoonPay
- Card integration with infrastructure providers such as Rain
- Secure wallet recovery and key-export flows
Your responsibilities
- Own the architecture of Ihsan Pay from prototype to production
- Build secure and scalable backend payment services
- Integrate wallet, blockchain, KYC, on-ramp and card providers
- Ensure Ihsan Pay cannot independently access users’ self-custodial funds
- Design reliable transaction-status and reconciliation systems
- Establish security standards and review payment-related code
- Document the architecture and operational procedures
- Help recruit and mentor future payments engineers
- Work closely with our mobile, backend, product and design teams
What we are looking for
- Strong production backend experience with Go, TypeScript or a comparable language
- Experience building or integrating blockchain wallets and transactions
- Practical experience with Solana and SPL tokens
- Experience with payment APIs, webhooks, idempotency and reconciliation
- Strong understanding of private-key security, transaction signing and wallet recovery
- Experience with PostgreSQL and scalable backend systems
- Ability to make architectural decisions independently
- Clear communication and strong technical documentation
- A security-first approach to financial infrastructure
Strong advantages
- Experience with Privy, Turnkey, Web3Auth or similar embedded-wallet infrastructure
- Experience with USDC, USDT or stablecoin payment products
- Experience integrating on/off-ramps, card issuers or payment processors
- Experience with Helius or other Solana infrastructure
- Experience with QR payments or merchant checkout systems
- Experience building consumer fintech, wallets, remittance or neobanking products
- Experience taking a payment product from prototype to production
Who this role is not for
This role is unlikely to be suitable if your blockchain experience consists primarily of:
- Creating tokens
- NFT projects
- Trading bots
- Experimental smart contracts
- DeFi projects without production payment experience
We need someone who understands both blockchain technology and the reliability requirements of real financial systems.
Initial objective
Your first objective will be to deliver a secure proof of concept in which:
- Two Ihsan users automatically receive embedded self-custodial Solana wallets.
- One user can send USDC to the other using an Ihsan username or QR code.
- The transaction is confirmed biometrically.
- Network fees are sponsored and hidden from the user.
- Both users receive a clear transaction status and receipt.
- The wallet can be securely recovered and exported.
Why join
- Take technical ownership of a new payment system from its foundation
- Build a product designed for meaningful global use
- Shape the architecture instead of inheriting legacy infrastructure
- Work on the intersection of stablecoins, messaging and everyday payments
- Grow into a leadership position as the engineering team expands
- Competitive compensation and meaningful long-term equity participation
How to apply
Please send:
- Your CV and LinkedIn profile
- GitHub profile or relevant code samples
- Links to payment, wallet or blockchain products you have built
- A short description of your exact responsibilities in those projects
- Your preferred compensation and availability
Please also answer briefly:
How would you design a self-custodial Solana wallet that allows users to send USDC through usernames and QR codes without seeing wallet addresses, seed phrases or gas fees?
We value demonstrated production experience and clear thinking more than credentials.

How do I get a job at DeFi?
Getting a job in the DeFi (decentralized finance) industry can be a competitive process, but there are a few steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job in this field:
- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
