Based in Berlin, London, and Lisbon, Parity has built clients for Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Zcash and has pioneered a completely new, next-generation blockchain protocol with Polkadot and the framework it’s built with, Substrate. Parity builds the open-source technologies needed to power an unstoppable, decentralised web—known as Web3—and helps developers and organisations implement and build upon the Web3 tech stack.

With a remote-first, global team, Parity is building open-source technologies for developers and organisations to implement and build upon. Our Web3 tech stack includes Polkadot, Substrate, and Kusama.

About the position:

• You’ll design, build and maintain TypeScript-based tools/libraries to help internal/external teams build, debug, instrument and manage substrate-based blockchains.
• You'll find yourself gradually taking ownership of different areas of our codebases and projects.
• You'll likely spend around 70% of your time contributing to our TypeScript projects and 30% contributing to our Rust ones, with the exact split depending on your own skills and preferences.
• You will work fully remotely, working in a remote team of ~10 engineers based mostly around Europe.

About you:

• Be able to work autonomously and function well in a distributed team. A big part of this is being an excellent communicator; conveying ideas clearly, helping others, sharing regular progress updates and raising concerns and blockers quickly.
• Take an interest in blockchain technology in general and Substrate/Polkadot in particular: you'll build an awareness of the problems that the ecosystem faces and how we can help to solve them.
• Have demonstrable experience in TypeScript, in particular open source projects, and keen to grow and improve in this area.
• Take an interest in the Rust programming language, its community and values: we use Rust extensively, and often push it to the limits to deliver robust and performant software.
• Have a good understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, HTTP and WebSockets, and demonstrable experience building HTTP based APIs and clients.
• Ideally you'll live within 2 hours of UTC+0, but exceptional candidates outside of this timezone will also be considered.

About working for us:

• Competitive remuneration packages based on iterative market research, including tokens (where legally possible)
• “Future of work” environment that’s remote-first and self-initiating with flexible hours
• Team mates that are genuinely excited about their impact and projects
• Access to the brightest minds in this space to learn about Web3 and develop your skills and knowledge while on the job
• Becoming part of the wider ecosystem (career and networking opportunities)
• Team and company-wide retreats
• Work laptop
• Opportunity to relocate to Germany or Portugal (with visa sponsorship)
