Studio998 moves more than $12M a month across 40+ markets for companies that cannot afford a settlement to go missing. Five roles are open across engineering, infrastructure, compliance, client operations and data.
Volume and market figures are representative of typical client activity and are illustrative, not a guarantee of performance.
Four structural facts about working here, stated plainly rather than as culture copy.
Everyone works remotely inside a four-hour overlap window, 09:00 to 17:00 ET, with a desk available at the Riverview NOC for anyone who wants one. Meetings are scheduled inside that window, recorded and written up, so nobody’s progress depends on being in a room.
New joiners ship to production within their first two weeks and join a pager rotation once they have completed it. There is no six-month shadow period and no committee gate on a change that has a test suite and a documented rollback behind it.
Changes are peer-reviewed, artifacts are signed, access is least-privilege and time-bound, and every production system has a runbook and an alert that a person answers. SOC 2 evidence is produced by the pipeline, not assembled the week before an audit.
An annual $2,000 budget per person for certification, conferences or coursework, plus up to four paid hours a week for study. PCI ISA, CAMS and the AWS and GCP professional tracks are the ones colleagues most often use it for.
All benefits apply to full-time US-based employees from the first day of employment unless a note says otherwise.
Medical, dental and vision cover for you and your dependents. Studio998 pays 100% of the employee premium and 70% of dependent premiums. Two plan options, a PPO and an HDHP with an HSA that receives a $1,200 annual employer contribution.
We match 100% of the first 4% you contribute and vest from the first payment, with no waiting period and no cliff. The plan is reviewed annually against fees, and the current expense ratio is disclosed to all participants each January.
Twenty days of paid time off plus ten US public holidays, and the week between Christmas and New Year is closed as additional paid shutdown. PTO accrues from day one and up to five unused days carry into the following year.
Available to all parents for birth, adoption or foster placement, taken within the first twelve months, in one block or split across two. A phased return at 80% hours for four weeks is paid at 100%.
A one-time $1,500 home-office stipend, $75 per month for connectivity, and a hardware refresh every three years. Shift-based NOC roles receive an additional shift differential paid on top of base salary.
The whole company meets in person for four days each year, with travel and accommodation covered and dependents welcome at the social evenings. Recent locations have been Asheville and Lisbon; the 2026 offsite is in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This benefits summary is illustrative and does not constitute an offer of employment or a guarantee of any benefit. All programs are governed by their official plan documents, which may change.
Apply by email with a CV and two or three sentences on why the role fits. Applications are reviewed weekly and every applicant receives a reply.
You will own the integration surface between Studio998 and the acquiring banks, card schemes and local payment rails we route through. That means building and maintaining the adapters that turn a scheme-specific API into one internal payment model, and being the person who can explain why a particular corridor behaves the way it does.
The role sits in the engineering team, reports to the Chief Technology Officer, and works directly with client operations during onboarding and during incident review.
The network operations center runs 24×7 across three shifts and is the first responder for every platform Studio998 operates. You will hold the pager, run the incident process end to end, and spend the quieter part of each shift removing the alert that woke you last week.
This is an operational engineering role, not a monitoring-desk role. Roughly 60% of the time is incident response, failover testing and automation; the rest is capacity planning and runbook work.
You will run know-your-business onboarding and ongoing monitoring for the clients we take on and the ones already live: collecting and verifying documents, screening beneficial owners and counterparties, and writing the risk assessment that decides whether a corridor opens.
The role reports to the Head of Compliance & Risk and is based at the Riverview facility, because it involves handling original documents and working with visiting clients.
You will be the named operations contact for a portfolio of eight to twelve clients, and the person who makes sure that what engineering, compliance and finance do lands in a form the client can actually use.
This is a commercial-technical hybrid role. You will read a settlement file, argue about a variance with a finance lead, and then write the summary that goes to the client’s COO the same afternoon.
You will build and maintain the pipeline that turns raw payment, payout and reconciliation events into the datasets our clients and our own teams reason over, without ever letting cardholder data reach the analytics environment.
The role reports to the Chief Technology Officer and works closely with the compliance team on residency, retention and tokenization boundaries.
Every stage has a stated duration and a stated purpose. You are told the outcome of each one, including when it is a no.
Every application is read by a person on the hiring team, not scored by a keyword filter. You receive a reply either way, and if it is a no we say which requirement was missing.
We check scope, expectations, shift or travel requirements and logistics. The full compensation range for the role is shared on this call, before you are asked to do any assessment work.
A time-boxed exercise that resembles the actual work: an integration problem for engineering roles, a case review for compliance and client operations, a pipeline task for data. We cap it at four hours and we pay for your time whether or not you are hired.
One interview with the team you would join and one with a peer from outside it. We score against a written criteria sheet that you receive in advance, and the same sheet is used for every candidate in the loop.
A written offer with the full compensation breakdown, equity or bonus position if applicable, and benefit details. A standard background check and two reference conversations follow; total elapsed time from first call to signed offer is typically three to four weeks.
Studio998 is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates on demonstrated capability and judgment, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability or veteran status. Reasonable adjustments are available at any stage of the hiring process; ask when you apply and no reason is required.
We do not accept applications through third-party recruiters unless a written agreement is in place.
