Engineering Manager Jobs at 0x

COMPANY

At 0x Labs, our mission is to create a tokenized world where all value can flow freely. We're a highly technical, globally distributed group of teams working together toward actualizing that mission. In doing so, we're excited and proud to be pushing the envelope across the DeFi and Ethereum stacks.

In joining us, you'll take part in transforming the way that value is exchanged on a global scale. We're passionate about open-source software and decentralized technology's potential to act as an equalizing force in the world, and our technology is deployed by a wide array of projects at the forefront of internet and economic advancement.

Founded in 2017, 0x Labs created and now partakes in the development of 0x protocol: a network comprised of open-source infrastructure, tooling, and cryptocurrency-based incentives that allow for the decentralized exchange of any blockchain-based digital asset. 0x is a secure, publicly owned and governed, and upgradable standard that’s abstracted away from application-layer developers and enables interoperability between blockchain-based applications.

Alongside the core protocol, 0x Labs also builds and maintains a suite of network incentives, business resources, developer/trader tools (e.g., 0x API), and end-user products (e.g., Matcha).

We’re a remote-first company with core contributors in nearly ten countries and over twice as many cities. Our headquarters is in San Francisco, with an office available for anyone on the team to use at any time.


YOUR ROLE AS THE ENGINEERING MANAGER FOR OUR PLATFORM ENGINEERING TEAM

As an Engineering Manager of the Platform Engineering team at 0x, you’ll report to our Co-CEO, lead our team of talented engineers, and partner with other EMs across the organization to make sure that our infrastructure will continue to scale as we continue to experience our hockey-stick moment.

The Platform Engineering team at 0x is critical to the continued success of 0x by ensuring that our internal engineering team can focus on what they do best, software development, not deployment. In leading this team you’ll help ensure our suite of products remains as performant and reliable as possible, automate a variety of critical engineering tasks, and ensure a world-class, streamlined internal developer experience. We take a data-driven approach to optimization; our inclination is to profile and benchmark existing systems, honing in on the highest impact improvements that should be undertaken. We care deeply about the reliability of our solutions and the productivity gains created for the rest of the engineering team.

This role is deeply important to the success of 0x as a whole, and it comes with a high degree of ownership. You'll be expected to take any appropriate steps toward improving our infrastructure. We build on a quickly evolving modern stack, and you're expected to provide well-reasoned, forward-thinking technology and architectural guidance. As we continue to grow this team, you'll need to fill in gaps as needed - you're the right person for this position if you're excited to both get your hands dirty working alongside our engineers and take the step back to provide the strategic direction as well.

You’ll work closely alongside a growing world-class team of platform engineers as well as other teams and stakeholders across 0x Labs.
