Tether helps businesses—such as exchanges, wallets, payment processors, financial services, and ATMs—use reserve-backed tokens on blockchains with ease. With blockchain technology, Tether enables you to store, send, and receive digital tokens worldwide, person-to-person, instantly and securely, at a much lower cost than alternative solutions. Transparency is a core priority throughout Tether’s platform.

Because each token is linked to real-world currency, Tether helps shield users from the volatility common to many cryptocurrencies. Tether is backed by real assets, including USD and euros. One Tether equals one unit of the currency that backs it (for example, one U.S. dollar), and it is backed 100% by actual assets held in Tether’s reserve account.

Our team is fully remote and globally distributed, allowing us to attract top talent worldwide. We’ve grown quickly while remaining lean to strengthen our position as an industry leader.

If you’re excited to work in a boundary-pushing environment and you’re confident you can meet the hardest challenges, we’d like to hear from you. Join us and help build the foundation for a decentralized future.
