Bead
Bead, Inc.
Bead enables payment providers and platforms to add Digital Assets (crypto), Digital Wallets, and Buy Now Pay Later through their existing payment infrastructure while merchants continue to receive U.S. dollars.
We work through the payments industry rather than merchant by merchant. Gateways, ISOs, integrators and distribution partners connect once to Bead and extend new payment capabilities across their merchant networks. Founded in 2023, headquartered in Dover, Delaware, remote-first from the start.
How we work
Remote-first, with the team across the United States, Canada and Eastern Europe. Engineering is small, around eight people, so scope is wide and ownership is real. You work directly with the CTO and your code reaches production quickly. We ask for two to three hours of overlap with US Eastern time.
We maintain SOC 2 for security and operational trust, run a weekly DAST cadence against the portal and API, and commission an annual third-party penetration test. In regulated payments, correctness and auditability are design constraints rather than afterthoughts.
I kept the individual wallet logos out and stayed at the category level, which the site's own footnote supports: tender availability varies by region and partner.
