About Crown

Crown is a fintech company bringing emerging market money into the digital age. Our job is to eliminate friction in the Brazilian financial system without compromising on safety, compliance, or trust.

We believe programmable money built on open rails is the backbone of the future financial system. Our first product is BRLV, a safe, scalable, highly liquid stablecoin backed 1:1 by Brazilian treasury assets. It is built to become the default settlement layer for BRL in the tokenized economy. It enables institutions to:

Settle BRL-denominated tokenized assets

Offer modular yield infrastructure for their customers

Access the Brazilian risk-free rate from anywhere in the world, with zero friction

We’re backed by Framework, Valor, Norte, Coinbase Ventures, Paxos, and Nubank co-founder Ed Wible.
Our goal: R$1 trillion of BRLV in circulation within 10 years.

The Role

You’ll solve end-to-end, technical and business problems from scratch, with tools that are not industry standard. We use Clojure, TypeScript, HTMX, Pulumi and Hyperscript, and deploy on AWS. There are meaningful domain, web3, distributed
systems, database optimisations and security challenges that you’ll be expected to solve.

You’ll collaborate with a small team, and be expected to learn complex domains fast in order to have productive conversations.

You’ll be expected to work with minimal supervision, but with a highly collaborative team.

We are a small team, and it is our goal to continue being as small as we can. This means that everyone shares a big responsibility towards keeping our services running smoothly, and infrastructure automation is key for scaling our capacity.

You own the function end-to-end—and ask for input when it makes the work better, not because someone’s checking.
Ruthlessly simple.
We don’t paper over complexity with process or headcount.
Collaboration is default.
 Problems are shared property. We work across domains.
Feedback is candid and direct.
Built on the assumption that everyone here is smart, competent, and cares.
