Legal role providing product lifecycle advice to engineering and product teams at MoonPay, focusing on DeFi, crypto, and fintech regulatory compliance.
Requirements
- JD (or equivalent) and active bar membership in at least one jurisdiction.
- 6+ years of legal experience, including meaningful in-house experience at a crypto, DeFi, fintech, or regulated financial services company.
- Deep, working understanding of DeFi: how DEXs and AMMs operate, what smart order routing involves, how non-custodial wallets and MPC key management work, and how smart contracts are used in protocol integrations.
- Solid grounding in the US regulatory frameworks most relevant to DeFi products: FinCEN money transmission and MSB analysis, SEC securities regulation, CFTC commodity derivatives regulation, and NYDFS requirements for licensed entities.
- Experience providing product lifecycle legal advice directly to engineering and product teams.
- Excellent communications skills — the ability to deliver crisp, practical legal advice and synthesise complex regulatory constructs succinctly, especially where the law is unsettled or its application to novel technology is unclear.
- High comfort with legal ambiguity, risk-adjusted thinking, and fast-paced environments where the right answer is not always obvious.
Nice to have
- Experience advising on MPC, threshold signature schemes, or other non-custodial key management architectures.
- Familiarity with AI agent architectures and the legal frameworks emerging around autonomous financial transactions.
- Experience with on-chain protocol governance, smart contract audit processes, or open-source software licensing in a crypto context.
- Familiarity with crypto asset custody regulation and card program legal frameworks.
- Exposure to prediction markets, on-chain derivatives, or structured DeFi products (e.g., Polymarket, Hyperliquid, GMX, or comparable protocols).
- Experience supporting the launch of novel regulated financial services, including licensing strategy, product scoping for regulatory compliance, and ongoing licence condition management.
- Prior experience drafting or advising on protocol integration agreements, liquidity provider arrangements, or similar DeFi commercial documentation.
