Remote Crypto Jobs

Edge & Node is a creative software development company working to build a vibrant, decentralized future. Founded by the initial team behind The Graph, Edge & Node is dedicated to the advancement of web3, a decentralized and fair internet where public data is available to all—an internet that enables its users to increase agency over their creations and their lives.

Edge & Node’s initial product is The Graph, an indexing protocol for querying networks like Ethereum and IPFS, which ensures open data is always available and easy to access. The Graph is used by thousands of protocols and dapps including Uniswap, Livepeer, Aave, Decentraland, and more. Edge & Node also launched Everest, a decentralized registry with the mission to catalyze the shift to web3, facilitating community-driven curation of projects providing ongoing utility to the crypto space.

The Research & Protocol team works at the intersection of many exciting fields such as software engineering, cryptography, economics and distributed systems to deliver fundamental improvements to The Graph protocol.

Edge & Node is looking for an experienced technical Engineering Manager to lead this team and build a culture of collaboration and predictable solution delivery. You will operate as both a mentor and a manager, which means distilling the work produced by the team and providing guidance to improve both technical rigor and clarity while also coaching and counseling them through one-on-one meetings, feedback and clear actionable items.
