About Status
Status is the gateway to the decentralized web. Weâre building the tools and infrastructure for the advancement of a secure, private, and open web3. With the high level goals of preserving the right to privacy, mitigating the risk of censorship, and promoting economic trade in a transparent, open manner. Status is building a community where anyone is welcome to join and contribute.
As an organization, Status seeks to push the web3 ecosystem forward through research, creation of developer tools, and support of the open source community. Our core products include an open source, Ethereum-based app for mobile and desktop that gives users the power to chat, make payments and browse the decentralized web, as well as foundational infrastructure for the whole Ethereum ecosystem including the Nimbus ETH 1.0 and 2.0 clients, the Keycard hardware wallet, and the Waku messaging protocol which is a continuation of Whisper.
JS-Waku
We are building Waku as a public good infrastructure. Waku is the messaging layer of Web3.It is a decentralized, censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving communication network that enables anyone to send and receive messages without worrying about surveillance or deplatforming.
We are developing 3 open source implementations of Waku: nwaku, go-waku and js-waku.
JS-Waku is the TypeScript implementation used in browser and web environments Our main repo is https://github.com/status-im/js-waku/.
We are enabling Ethereum builders to create new projects with a fully decentralized architecture, think dApp to Wallet notifications, NFT marketplaces, censorship-resistant chat, layer-2 and more.
We are looking for software engineers that are passionate about Ethereum, decentralization and developer experience. and who would relish the opportunity to create a first class decentralized machine-to-machine messaging interface and toolkit and bring these new capabilities to Web3 developers!
What you will do
- Create examples using Waku to demonstrate specific use cases or frameworks (e.g. React native, Svelte, Vue.js, etc)
- Write guides and blog posts for an audience of Web3 developers
- Speak at conferences and run workshops (both online and real world) to introduce devs to Waku
- Support dApp developers in using js-waku and Waku TypeScript libraries, including during hackathons
- Seek partnerships with 3rd party dApp vendors
Ideally, you
- Have experience as developer relations engineer
- Are already familiar with the Ethereum community, attended conferences or participated to Hackathons
- Have demonstrated the ability to build PoCs webapps and dApps
- Have good communication skills (written and conversational), are willing to deliver talks at conferences
- Enjoy writing for a developer audience (e.g. blogs and documentation)
- Have passion for blockchain and decentralized technologies and understand how they work
- Have a strong alignment to our principles: https://status.im/about/#our-principles
Bonus points if you have experience
- In Web3 or blockchain development
- Working for an open source organization
- Speaking at developer conferences
- Working remotely
Donât worry if you donât meet all of these criteria, weâd still love to hear from you anyway if you think youâd be a great fit for this role
Compensation
We are happy to pay salaries in either 100% fiat or any mix of fiat and/or crypto. For more information regarding benefits at Status: https://people-ops.status.im/tag/perks/

Hiring process
- Interview with member of the People Ops team
- Team Culture and Pair programming session with js-waku lead maintainer & hiring manager
- Technical & Culture Interview with member of the Vac Team
- Interview with Co-founder
The steps may change along the way if we see it makes sense to adapt the interview stages, so please consider the above as a guideline.
What is the meaning of Layer 2?
Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)
The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum
Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:
- Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
- State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
- Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
- Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
- Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
- Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
- Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
- Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
