Benjamin Meeder — CTO
As Co-Founder and CTO at Coinflow, I lead the technical vision, architecture, and execution behind our next-generation payments infrastructure. My focus is building highly scalable, low-latency systems that enable global commerce, while ensuring the highest standards of security, reliability, and compliance. With a background in full-stack engineering and deep experience shipping production systems, I bring a hands-on approach to technical leadership. I work closely with engineering, product, security, and compliance teams to design and deliver the platforms that power our customers’ most mission-critical payment flows. From multi-rail orchestration and instant settlement to fraud prevention, chargeback indemnity, and global payouts, I ensure our technology foundation is built for scale, resilience, and continuous innovation. Coinflow is the next-generation payment service provider revolutionizing global financial infrastructure with stablecoins, AI-driven fraud prevention, and instant settlement. We enable businesses to grow faster with instant settlement, fraud and chargeback indemnity, global pay-in, multi-currency FX, and unified payouts. Founded in 2023, we serve marketplaces, fintechs, remittance providers, gaming platforms, and ecommerce merchants worldwide. Before starting Coinflow, I co-founded and led engineering at a previous startup, building real-time gaming and payments systems from the ground up startup that achieved a successful exit, giving me early experience architecting products under fast-growth conditions. Prior to that, I was a Full Stack Engineer at ServiceNow, where I worked on large-scale enterprise applications used by Fortune 500 companies. My work across engineering leadership, enterprise software, and entrepreneurship gives me a holistic perspective on building high-performance teams and world-class infrastructure, while maintaining a strong obsession with developer experience, operational excellence, and delivering a frictionless experience for our merchants and their users.
