Full Time · Engineering (R&D) · Remote
United States; Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up as a platform for a new generation of Web3 apps, games, and the digital assets that power them. Flow is home today to millions of users and apps from top tier creators including Genies, Cryptoys, Doodles, and Dapper Labs (NBA, NFL, Disney) as well as industry leaders such as Mattel (Barbie, Hot Wheels), LiveNation / Ticketmaster, and many more.
The mission of Flow is to take Web3 mainstream, and Flow Wallet is the vehicle for how to get there. We believe it’s unacceptable for users to have to tolerate the possibility of losing their keys, assets or accounts, have to set up their wallets using complex seed phrases, or worry about things like gas fees. At the end of the day, users just want to have fun, and feel safe to explore and experience what Web3 makes possible for them.
Flow Wallet aims to set the new standard for wallets across all of Web3 by leveraging unique capabilities of Flow including protocol-level account abstraction, multiple VMs in the same atomic execution environment, the Cadence smart contract programming language unlocking new functionality while preserving full EVM equivalence and backwards compatibility, and other apps and functionality built for mainstream consumer audiences.
As Flow Wallet’s Head of Engineering, you’ll get to pave the way forward for the Web3 industry at large, and you’ll love that you’ll be empowered to solve the frustrations you have with Web3 wallets first hand. You’ll love that this is a hands-on role, requiring a passion for diving deep into code, while also owning higher level software architectural decisions, team management and translating business requirements into engineering output.

Delivering mainstream-ready software quality: Flow is gearing up to support not only it’s existing ecosystem of Cadence developers, but also the rest of the Web3 ecosystem of EVM builders.
