Engineering Product Lead

As stewards of the Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem, Parity is laying the foundation for a better web that respects the freedom and data of individuals and empowers developers to create better services through decentralised technology. The internet is too important to billions of people for it to be at the mercy of a few powerful companies. 

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.

We believe in a decentralised web that respects the freedom and data of individuals and empowers developers to create better services. Our vision is to create a world based on truthful, rather than trustful, interactions. Our mission is to make Polkadot the most active and innovative community in blockchain.

• Excited to work on projects that are groundbreaking and complex
• Autonomous workers that self-initiate, but also collaborate well with others
• Taking maximum accountability and having minimum ego at work

Ideally the candidate is familiar with other Web3 products.

• Design and implement products that create a great experience for people new to Polkadot.
• Support other engineers with contributions that facilitate getting started.

• Have a product mindset and can see things from the user’s point of view.
• Have a track record of designing the right product and delivering it from idea to deployment.

• Are familiar with other Web3 tech stacks and their typical users.
• Can lead a small team.

• “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)
