Lightspark is the easiest, most reliable, enterprise-grade gateway to the Lightning Network, enabling money to move just like bits and bytes do on the Internet.

We want to deliver open payments for the Internet at scale and we’re laser-focused on solving real problems for our customers with best-in-class innovative software solutions. We aim to help businesses around the world benefit from real time payments and build amazing new experiences for themselves and their customers. Lightspark is headquartered in Los Angeles but serving the world.

At Lightspark, we are pioneering the future of payments by leveraging the Bitcoin network and diving deep into the capabilities of the Lightning Network. Our mission is to build a secure and robust payment infrastructure that bridges the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrency.

We are seeking a full-stack engineer who thrives in entrepreneurial environments, enjoys writing and shipping code fast, and can help us build out a great culture of engineering excellence. You will join our client team and your primary focuses will be to automate our SDKs, to design and implement new payment protocols, and to build out new features on our APIs, SDKs, and websites.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Designing, building, and maintaining systems to generate/upgrade our SDKs across all platforms, languages, APIs, and products
  • Coding in Typescript and Python most of the time, but also occasionally in Go, Rust, Kotlin, and more languages. You don’t need to know all of these to join, but we hope you’ll be excited to learn!
  • Working closely with DevOps to build automated testing and client continuous integration
  • Designing and building production services, websites, and applications
  • Working closely with UX design, other developers, and Product Management to build world class software
  • Creating a rich services layer to serve the next set of users and use cases - bringing Lightning to mass adoption
  • Learning and growing in a highly collaborative environment
  • Integrating with partners to build new services for Lightspark’s customers
  • Building core infrastructure to support new features and functionality

What We Are Looking For

  • 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience
  • React and Typescript experience a plus
  • Python experience a plus
  • Experience driving initiatives forward with creativity and resourcefulness, inspiring others to excel through a proactive, innovative, and positive mindset
  • Ability and willingness to rapidly adapt to new technologies and programming languages, demonstrating perseverance and resilience in overcoming challenges
  • Ability to work independently to deliver high-quality results within tight timeframes through precision and focus
  • Desire to learn and grow in a highly collaborative environment
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or equivalent is a plus but not required. We appreciate and acknowledge that some of the best talent comes from non-traditional backgrounds.
  • Living in, or willing to relocate, to Los Angeles, CA, we are an in-office company located in Culver City.

Lightspark is on a mission to build an open payment protocol for the Internet at scale and therefore we’re committed to creating a more inclusive and diverse workplace to reflect the customers we serve. We welcome interest from individuals of all backgrounds and levels of experience who share our mission. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.
