.TypeScript + Rust Engineer Parity is one of the world's most experienced core blockchain infrastructure companies, having built and pioneered some of the most advanced technologies in the blockchain sector. Parity was founded by Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder and former CTO of Ethereum, the primary engineer behind the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), inventor of the Solidity programming language, and primary author of the Ethereum Yellowpaper. 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. People in our collective are: 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 About the team: You're applying to join the Product Engineering department, and you'll be focused on building and maintaining tooling and applications (written primarily in TypeScript and Rust) which make it easier for developers to explore and interact with Substrate based blockchains such as Polkadot. Some examples of the projects you're likely to contribute to: substrate-connect-wallet : A wallet written in TypeScript directly connected to a light-client for Substrate chains. substrate-api-sidecar : A RESTful service build using TypeScript which exposes some high level APIs for gathering information from Substrate nodes polkadot-js : A collection of tools, APIs and libraries written in Typescript to interact with the Polkadot ecosystem. substrate-telemetry : a Rust backend and TypeScript+React frontend responsible for gathering and displaying live information about chains on the Polkadot network. 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
