About the role
We’re looking for exceptional founding engineers to build the consumer security layer for web3.
Working at Pocket Universe
Pocket Universe protects people from fraudulent transactions designed to steal blockchain assets. Our mission is to push the status quo on security and UX such that even your parents could use crypto safely. Our first product uses transaction simulations to protect users from scams. We’ve had insane growth and are protecting over 50,000 people and over $100M in blockchain assets. We save people from fraud almost every day which leads to our amazing product-led growth (>30% each month for the last 8 months). If we keep this up, we’ll have 1 million users in a year! We’re a team of two that has already raised $1.25M from the likes of Alliance DAO, AirTree and Tangent and we’ll be raising more in the coming months. You’ll work directly with the CEO who was a Tech Lead at Facebook, building an operating system for AR glasses from scratch.
This role
As a founding engineer you’ll be wearing many technical hats:
- Developing a delightful user experience to keep users safe with our flagship product, the Pocket Universe chrome extension (React, TailwindCSS) and mobile app (ReactNative).
- Improving our security engine by developing novel techniques to defend against attacks (Rust, Solidity).
- Innovating at the edge of what’s possible in order to make the end user feel as safe as possible. e.g. building smart contract wallets enabled by EIP4337 and initiatives such as wallet insurance. You will not be expected to have experience in all of these areas, but you should be excited about working on all of them! While engineering will be your primary priority - you’ll also be working on product, talking to customers and helping define our long term strategy. Expect to touch all areas of the company at least a little bit.
About you
- You want to grow.
- You care about the problem and want to make a difference.
