Docker Jobs in Web3

About Us

Parity is one of the world's most experienced teams developing core blockchain infrastructure at the protocol level, building the open-source technologies that will lay the foundation for the new decentralised internet. 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.

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.

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.

• Autonomous workers that self-initiate, but also collaborate well with others

• Comfortable with chaos and adapting to the ever-changing Web3 space

• Continuously educating themselves about Parity and the wider ecosystem
