Circle lists Senior SWE pay band

Circle is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for blockchain payments work at a listed base salary of $147,500 to $195,000, with equity on top. (careers.circle.com) The posting says the engineer would build and own microservices and public application programming interfaces that move value across blockchain networks and traditional banking rails. It also requires at least six years of software development experience and work with payment systems such as credit cards and bank transfers. (careers.circle.com) Circle lists the role as full time and remote-first in the United States, with locations including San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix. The company says the job was posted more than 30 days ago under requisition JR100013-EG. (circle.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com) Circle describes itself as an internet financial platform company built around digital assets, payment applications, and blockchain infrastructure. Its product stack includes United States Dollar Coin, or USDC, which Circle calls the world’s largest regulated stablecoin and says is redeemable one-to-one for United States dollars. (circle.com 1) (circle.com 2) A stablecoin is a digital token designed to hold a steady price, usually by tracking a currency such as the dollar. In Circle’s version of the pitch, engineers are building the plumbing that lets money move online with the speed of software rather than the batch timing of older payment networks. (circle.com) (careers.circle.com) The public pay band also reflects a wider shift in hiring disclosures. Multi-state employers increasingly publish salary ranges because state pay-transparency laws now cover job postings in places including California, New York, Washington, and Illinois, and often reach remote roles that can be performed in those states. (jacksonlewis.com) (paycor.com) Circle’s current openings show the company is hiring beyond pure engineering as it pushes deeper into payments. One live posting seeks a Senior Solutions Engineer II for Payments and Enterprise, focused on blockchain-based payment solutions for United States clients. (careers.circle.com) The engineering role is a snapshot of where crypto-adjacent hiring sits in 2026: not consumer token hype, but backend systems, bank integrations, and application programming interfaces that have to work like financial infrastructure. Circle’s own job description says exactly that, in the language companies use when they need senior engineers to make money movement reliable. (careers.circle.com)
