In 2020, Circle unveiled Circle APIs: a set of solutions and smarter technology to help businesses accept payments in a more global, scalable, and efficient alternative to traditional banking rails (spoiler: we're using USD Coin under the hood).

As a member of this team, you’ll design, operate and support cutting-edge SASE/SSE systems to provide web security, CASB and remote access to business users around the globe.

• Working with third-party security vendors to enable new features, resolve security tool issues and leverage the tool’s capabilities for improving Circle’s security posture.

• Driven by Excellence - you are driven by our mission and our passion for customer success which means you relentlessly pursue excellence, that you do not tolerate mediocrity and you work intensely to achieve your goals.
