Layer 2 Jobs

Who We Are

Magna’s goal is to be the one-stop solution for all token-based crypto companies who want to track outstanding and promised token allocations, automate the distribution of those tokens, and manage information about their stakeholders. Some liken us to “Carta for Web3”.

Our mission is to make it easier for crypto companies to manage their tokens and tokenholders so that they can focus on their product and not custom internal tools and smart contracts as they scale. We work with projects of all sizes throughout various L1 & L2 ecosystems.

Tokens are amongst the core assets crypto companies use to compensate and incentivize investors, employees, advisors, and even community members. The most common use cases for Magna include:

• Token Vesting to employees and investors - Automated token distribution based on custom unlock schedules.

• Token Streaming - Continuous distribution of tokens to stakeholders.

• Airdrops - Vested airdrops to community members.

• Programmable Unlocks – Distributing tokens using our SDK based on contract interactions or in-app/in-game accomplishments.

• Stakeholder Management – Tracking tax liability and legal filings for tokenholders and more.

Magna’s platform is used by investors, employees, accountants, lawyers, and other key stakeholders throughout the crypto ecosystem.

• Hardware — Whatever you need to get things done, plus a stipend to set up your home office.

• Learning budget — Buy courses and attend conferences or hackathons.

• Unlimited Vacation — Take time off when you need it - 2 week minimum.

• Top-notch healthcare plans — We offer the best available platinum PPO and other similar plans that give you the most options with the lowest deductibles.

We recognize that there are plenty of companies who don’t need Magna right now (still figuring out their token plan, too early, etc.), but we still add value to crypto ecosystem players in various ways. We are thoughtful and well-versed in a slew of tricky matters faced by crypto companies that issue tokens, including figuring unlock schedules and taxes.
