At Shakepay, we’re on a mission to usher in the Bitcoin golden age. We’re reimagining financial services to give every Canadian their fair shake.
Our culture is built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. If you're the kind of person who values growth, shipping fast, and sharing your ideas openly with a group of like-minded people, come and build with us!
Since 2015, we've been on a mission to help Canadians build long-term wealth through bitcoin. Over the past few years, we've expanded beyond buying and selling bitcoin to offer a growing suite of everyday financial products - including the Shakepay Card, direct deposit, bill payments and Interac e-Transfer - making it easier to earn, save and use bitcoin every day. Today, more than 1.5 million Canadians use Shakepay to grow their bitcoin savings and take control of their financial future as we continue to push the boundaries of what modern financial services can look like.
We’re regulated as an investment dealer across all Canadian provinces and territories, and backed by renowned venture capitalists with a funding of $44M. We have a passionate, loyal, and growing community, and we’re looking for people who want to help us build something truly special.
The Legal team sits at the center of some of Shakepay’s most important decisions. We partner closely with Product, Compliance, Operations, Finance, People, and leadership to bring new products to market, navigate complex regulatory questions and help the business move quickly with confidence. We believe ownership over hierarchy, practical judgment over perfection, and using technology and AI to rethink how legal work gets done.
As Senior Legal Counsel, you’ll help share how millions of Canadians interact with money. You’ll work alongside product, compliance and executive leadership to solve novel legal questions at the intersection of crypto, payments and financial regulation. This is a hands-on role for someone who can navigate ambiguity, provide practical recommendations and wants to help build - not just protect - the business.
The base salary range for this position is 150,000 - 220,000 CAD. Base pay may vary based on factors such as years of experience, skills and qualifications. Additionally, employees are eligible for equity, pay increases based on performance, benefits including health and dental care, and paid time off.
We understand that potential can be just as valuable as experience. If you're eager to learn, grow, and contribute to the mission but worry that you may not have the “right” experience, we still want you to apply. 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.
We use technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to support certain parts of our hiring process. This can include tools that assist with scheduling, application review, candidate communications, and generating interview notes, guides, or summaries so our team can stay focused on the conversation. All hiring decisions are made by our hiring team.
Fluency in English is required due to the percentage of English-speaking customers and the nature of our platform, which is available to all Canadians.
