Otherlife is for builders with something to prove.
This isn't a "work on cool crypto stuff" company. It's a high-standards, high-velocity, high-accountability company building the operating system for value movement.
Otherlife is MoonPay's creative studio. We design how brands meet the next era of the internet, working with companies like Mastercard, Arsenal FC, Coinbase, OpenSea, and Shopify on the brand identities, digital experiences, and on-chain products that introduce real people to emerging tech.
AI is the default operating mode here. It's woven into every role, and we expect you to use it daily. It handles the manual work so you can deliver on what actually matters.
You'll thrive here if outcomes excite you more than process, if impact motivates you more than titles, and if you want hard problems, real ownership, and teammates who love winning, building, and doing it together.
The bar is high. The pace is real.
