About WalletConnect

WalletConnect is one of the core infrastructure teams in Web3 — we build the connectivity layer that lets wallets and apps communicate securely across blockchains. Since launching in 2018, we’ve grown into a network of 75,000+ apps, 700+ wallets, and 500+ million users. Our mission is to power the financial internet by making digital ownership and payments interoperable and accessible.

We’ve recently launched WalletConnect Pay — a payments solution that lets merchants and payment providers leverage blockchain rails for new payment experiences, like stablecoin checkout, payouts, and deposits.

Backed by $38M from investors like Union Square Ventures, Shopify, Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, and Uniswap Labs, we’re a global, remote-first team that values openness, simplicity, innovation, and ownership.

Why Now: WalletConnect Pay

We're entering our most ambitious chapter yet. WalletConnect Pay is an end-to-end crypto and stablecoin payment method built on the world's largest wallet network — already embedded in Stripe, Coinbase Commerce, Shopify, MoonPay, Shift4, and BitPay, with a landmark partnership with Ingenico bringing stablecoin payments to 40M+ terminals across 120+ countries.

This is a pivotal hire. As we scale payments infrastructure globally, our Finance Lead will be at the centre of building the financial foundations for a new payment network — structuring revenue engines, and managing the financial complexity of a fast-growing, multi-entity, multi-asset business.

Requirements

We're looking for a hands-on Finance Lead to own and lead the finance function as a senior individual contributor. This is a high-impact role that sits at the intersection of strategic finance and operational execution — you'll partner directly with the CEO and Head of Operations to shape how WalletConnect scales financially through its next phase of growth.

We’re looking for a builder who wants to create the finance function of the future - you will build a team of AI agents who work for you so that you can consistently drive improvements across the organisation. You’ll be proficient with the modern finance stack and able to interface easily with our data, product, engineering and operations teams.

You'll own everything from financial reporting to ensuring every team member gets paid on time. Critically, as we build WalletConnect Pay into a global payment method, you'll work hand-in-hand with our product team to ensure that our finance systems and infrastructure work seamlessly with our technology to ensure accurate reconciliation and reporting.
