Join Cubist as we build the programmable infrastructure that powers the next generation of stablecoins, online payments, and tokenized assets.For payment processors and stablecoin issuers, slow UX is unacceptable and security breaches are fatal. CubeSigner solves this by keeping keys safe in secure hardware, while offering signing speeds that make instant settlement possible. Our Confidential Cloud Functions (C2F) allow issuers and PSPs to automate complex treasury workflows—like instant minting upon fiat receipt—while keeping compliance logic private and keys secure.We are looking for a Business Development Lead (Payments) to own the full commercial lifecycle for our payments vertical.
