Product Counsel

About MoonPay

MoonPay is for builders with something to prove.

This isn't a "work on cool crypto stuff" company. It's a high-standards, high-velocity, high-accountability company building the operating system for value movement. If the internet moves information, we move value: crypto, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and whatever comes next. Four offerings make that real: fund, tokenize, trade, and spend. 30M+ customers and 500+ ecosystem partners run on us. Licensed in the U.S. Regulated across the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.

AI is the default operating mode here. It's woven into every role, and we expect you to use it daily. It handles the manual work so you can deliver on what actually matters.

You'll thrive here if outcomes excite you more than process, if impact motivates you more than titles, and if you want hard problems, real ownership, and teammates who love winning, building, and doing it together.

The bar is high. The pace is real. We're building for what's next, for humans and agents. Recent recognition:

Forbes' America's Best Startup Employers 2026 . 2nd in Crypto Services on Fortune's inaugural Crypto 100 The Sunday Times Best Places to Work two years running Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative, and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel that you are only a 75% match. Skills can be learned, diversity cannot.

About the Opportunity ✍️

MoonPay is looking for a Product Counsel to be the dedicated legal partner for MoonPay's expanding product suite. This is a rare, high-impact role covering two interconnected mandates: our DeFi products - DEX routing and aggregation, non-custodial wallet infrastructure, and AI-powered agent integrations - and our regulated crypto asset services, including crypto-asset exchange services, digital asset custody, stablecoin issuance, and stablecoin card services.

You will work closely with product, compliance, and regulatory strategy - advising on new features from whiteboard to launch, navigating the complex interface between MoonPay’s regulated entity footprint and decentralized protocol integrations, and building the legal frameworks that allow our teams to move fast without breaking things.

This role demands genuine fluency across both worlds. You will be expected to develop well-reasoned, risk-calibrated views quickly, communicate them clearly, and be a true thought partner to engineering and product - not just a gatekeeper.

What you will do…

Product legal coverage

Serve as a primary legal partner for MoonPay's DeFi product teams, providing full product lifecycle counselling from ideation through development, launch, and iteration.

Advise on the legal and regulatory characterisation of DEX routing, smart order routing, and aggregation features across multiple chains and jurisdictions — including analysis of SEC, CFTC, and FinCEN frameworks.

Provide legal coverage for MoonPay's non-custodial wallet products, including MPC key management architecture, chain abstraction, self-custody user flows, and associated consumer protection obligations.

Advise on AI agent and autonomous payment integrations — including the legal treatment of agentic transaction flows, user authorisation frameworks, and the evolving regulatory landscape for AI-driven financial services.

Provide product legal support for the launch of digital asset services by our regulated entities — working alongside entity-specific regulatory counsel to ensure that new product features are scoped and built consistently with the licensing conditions in each market.

Regulatory navigation

Navigate the interface between MoonPay's licensed regulated entities — including our US money transmission licenses and NYDFS BitLicense and trust company charter — and non-custodial and decentralized product features.

Support business lines with products and services regulated by the Fed, OCC, SEC, CFTC, CFPB, and potentially other federal regulatory bodies, and how those products and services interact with MoonPay’s suite of decentralized products

Monitor and assess regulatory developments across key jurisdictions as they apply to MoonPay’s suite of products, and translate these into actionable product guidance.

Partner with Regulatory Affairs and contribute to MoonPay's regulatory strategy on emerging product areas, including engagement with external counsel and regulatory stakeholders where relevant.

Advise on the regulatory characterisation of new products, services, and asset types, as well as other regulated activities as MoonPay’s product suite expands, including analysis of whether new products require licensing modifications or new applications in existing or new jurisdictions.
