Research Jobs in Web3

About MetaMask

We’re building for a future where the internet and world economy empowers people, instead of treating people like a product. Where our interactions are based on consent, privacy, and people freely associating with one another. Where communities can flourish and individuals can pursue their dreams. To accomplish that, we’re working hard to make web3 more accessible for everyone.

MetaMask is both a blockchain wallet and a gateway to the entire decentralized web. Our tools help people create communities, play video games, access financial services, make payments, invest in assets, survive economic turmoil, and more use cases than we can even predict. We exist across multiple platforms (browser extension and mobile), and we serve the whole decentralized ecosystem.

About You

We are looking for our next family member, a Jr. UX Researcher, to help us achieve our vision of democratizing access to the decentralized web and help people on their journey to economic freedom. We are in a stage of hyper growth and in the next few years, we expect to onboard 100s of millions of people to the crypto ecosystem with MetaMask. This role is expected to have an impact on all strategic objectives of MetaMask - stability, security, accessibility, extensibility, leadership.

• You’ve got a good optimistic outlook about a decentralized future!
• You put out good vibes and can jell well with our family
• You’re an eager learner and you want to become an expert in Web 3.0

• You know how to present these insights in an easy-to-understand manner for those that are not researchers
• You want to be part of a tight team
• You don’t mind swimming in ambiguity
• You’re not afraid of removing yourself from your comfort zone. When this happens, you can expect support from your team. We’ve all been there and know what that feels like
