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 Trading team manages the existing Paxos trading infrastructure which includes a quoting service, an exchange, our pricing APIs, and access to our network of external liquidity providers. These services currently serve key stablecoin conversion functionality through risk management, internal markets for external stablecoins, access to external liquidity providers, and existing liquidation patterns.
The team’s focus is on providing highly reliable, low burden systems to support both trading and external stablecoin liquidity. Its mission is prioritizing investments that strengthen the trading partnerships and platform.
