Engineering Manager

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.

• Highly motivated to contribute to Parity’s mission and be part of something bigger
• 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
• Comfortable with chaos and adapting to the ever-changing Web3 space
• Continuously educating themselves about Parity and the wider ecosystem
