Integrate global finance into local economies
Ponto is an exchange and liquidity API for the next generation of assets, banks, wallets, and mobile financial experiences anywhere in the world.
About
Ponto is building bridges between fiat currencies and digital money. We help entrepreneurs focus on creating great financial products instead of the regulatory and technical challenges involved with bringing value into and out of their products, wherever they are in the world. This way, new companies and technologies can deliver on their promise of improving access to financial infrastructure for everyone.
Our initial focus is on our pluggable payments network for wallets and next-gen financial services across Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
We are fortunate to be backed by the best firms and individuals with deep expertise across our focus areas. Thank you for contributing to this story.
Ponto is built by successful hands-on entrepreneurs and fintech veterans. We have a world-class advisory team that spans finance, compliance, decentralized currencies, storytelling, and emerging markets.
We are assembling our core founding team, and are looking for individuals with diverse perspectives and useful experience that can share in and execute on Ponto's mission.
You don't need to have experience with fintech or blockchain, though that is valuable, but you will be passionate about financial inclusion and building a service with global reach. You will be ready to thrive in an unstructured environment, be used to taking initiative, and have amazing attention to detail.
You'll help set our destiny, you'll create just enough process to get stuff done, you'll have fun, and will always assume good intent.
Founded in San Francisco and New York, Ponto will grow to diverse locations around the world. We believe our offices exist to allow us to share our energy and support our social and emotional journey together. At the same time, talented people don't all exist in one place. We are committed to remote-first practices and are looking for individuals keen to refine and develop this culture. We encourage applications from wherever you are in the world.

Engineer or Senior Engineer - Full Stack
If you have worked on web services, thought hard about making APIs simple and elegant, and worked closely with front-end engineers to building amazing user experiences, we would love to chat. Ideally, you'll also love instrumenting and operating the services you build. We use JS/TS/Node, Go, queueing, databases and public clouds, but if you're a good fit for us, you'll be able to figure this out quickly anyway, and help inform the technical decisions we make. You don't need to have experience of fintech or crypto, though that is valuable, but you will be passionate about financial inclusion and building a service with global reach.
Head or Director, Product
We are seeking a senior product leader to help shape the course of Ponto's offerings. You'll be responsible for overseeing decisions from across product strategy, prioritization, goal setting, and sprint execution. As an early hire on the product team, you’ll help shape the direction of the API and be directly responsible for numerous critical pieces of Ponto's products. You’ll understand customer needs and work with the team to identify elegant solutions which balance usability, security, and other requirements amidst a cross-functional team.
Head or Director, Recruiting
We are looking for a consultative and creative recruiter to grow and scale our teams. You can expect high impact and wide-ranging responsibility: owning full-cycle recruiting, driving hiring strategy, leading first-in-kind searches, and delivering best-in-class candidate experience. This person must be a builder who thrives in a learning environment—unafraid to try new things, embrace new ideas, and welcome suggestions for how we can iterate on our processes.
Product Manager
Ponto's Product Manager will define the customer experience, working closely with both engineering and our customers to develop and refine our product offering.

You are a creative and enjoy collaborating with engineering, design, analytics, marketing, and sales, working to carry high level ideas into releasable products.
