About the Company

Rain makes the next generation of payments possible across the globe. We’re a lean and mighty team of passionate builders and veteran founders. Our infrastructure makes stable coins usable in the real world by powering card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient.

You will have the opportunity to deliver massive impact at a hypergrowth company that is funded by some of the top investors in fintech, crypto, and SaaS, including Sapphire Ventures, Norwest, Galaxy Ventures, Lightspeed, Khosla, and several more. If you’re curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial future, we’d love to talk.

We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.

The Marketing & Communications team at Rain owns the full customer lifecycle—from first touch to long-term expansion—by shaping how the market understands who we are and why we matter. We’re building the brand in a rapidly emerging category at the intersection of global payments, tokenized money, and financial infrastructure. That means crafting a credible, differentiated narrative for enterprise brands and scaled crypto companies alike, while tailoring our approach across the U.S. and the many regions where Rain operates.

It’s a rare opportunity to define a category, tell a complex story with clarity, and directly support revenue growth in a fast-moving global business.
