About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard and Interactive Brokers.

About the team

The Settlement team is responsible for launching and growing post-trade solutions for institutional customers who trade in Commodities, Securities and Digital Assets. Our goal is to enable these customers to increase their operational and capital efficiency while reducing risk and cost. We believe that, in the long run, all the world’s most important assets will be tokenized. To this end, we're building the necessary infrastructure to support the shift towards safer and more efficient global markets that can operate 24/7. We take pride in our commitment to continuous innovation, high performance, effective mentoring/coaching, multi-disciplinary collaboration and the authentic application of lean/agile methods.
