The Financial Markets team is responsible for Airwallex's core FX and liquidity infrastructure.

We're now expanding into building the stablecoin infrastructure that will enable both customers and internal systems to buy, hold, send, and settle with tokenised currency globally.

This includes support for near-instant global payments, on-chain liquidity, and seamless conversion between fiat and stablecoin balances.

We're building stablecoins into the core of Airwallex's infrastructure, so they function as seamlessly as any fiat currency across our global platform.

• You mentor engineers through regular code reviews and technical guidance, and encourage sharing practical knowledge across the team
• Able to quickly pick up unfamiliar tools or frameworks when needed and adjust to changing technical priorities.
• Clear communicator who works well across engineering, product, and non-technical teams
