Product Manager - Compliance, Bridge

About the Role

Bridge is spearheading the development of an entirely new payments platform built with stablecoins, aiming to simplify global money movement. This platform enables faster, cheaper payments and borderless access to dollars via stablecoins, leveraging APIs for businesses to send and receive funds across borders more efficiently than traditional fiat-only rails. The virtual accounts provided by Bridge allow international consumers and businesses to easily access, store, and spend US dollars, while the payouts infrastructure facilitates the disbursement of USD to anyone globally.
