About Shakepay

Shakepay is on a mission to usher in a Bitcoin golden age, where Canadians have access to Bitcoin-friendly, secure, and rewarding financial services. When Shakepay launched in 2015, it quickly became one of Canada's fastest-growing financial institutions. Backed by top venture capitalists having raised $44M+ and trusted by over one million Canadians and counting, Shakepay is reimagining banking for the digital age. People who choose careers at Shakepay are helping shape a future of financial inclusion, opportunity, and prosperity for all Canadians.

We are entering a new age for financial services. Legacy banking products are built on old, decaying technology while new experiences are being constructed from the ground up.

You will recreate how people are meant to build wealth. Bitcoin is enabling a world that could not previously be designed, and you will be the builders' builder, empowering a team of passionate developers to deliver the best experience to our customers.

We encourage applications from everyone, regardless of background and life experience. We're firm believers that a little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept .
