Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

First senior engineering hire at Web3 developer tools startup

Remote (US and European Timezones, EST preferred)

Description
Our client is looking for a passionate, experienced full stack software engineer to help us build the foundations of Web3-enabled ecommerce. This is a first employee position and a great opportunity to join a fast-paced startup at the ground floor.

You'll be joining a well-capitalized team of former ConsenSys / MetaMask builders and will have meaningful impact on technical architecture and direction, direct input into product vision, the opportunity to build out the engineering team, competitive compensation, and an equity package commensurate with the position.

They are looking for an individual who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves, get in the trenches with the founders, and are ready for an entrepreneurial challenge. If you're interested in having a massive impact at a quickly growing startup, this opportunity is for you.


Our client is building the foundations of Web3-enabled ecommerce, because they believe this is the single most impactful way to accelerate the global shift to Web3 and bring on the next 100 million users into this ecosystem.

They are building a Web3 toolkit for consumer brands, NFT communities, and blockchain games to enable them to easily build Web3-enabled products and experiences. They want to make it dead simple for any developer to build out use cases on Web3, and that starts with our token-gating API, our airdropping SDK, and our custodial wallet SDK.
