Fuel Labs Jobs

Fuel is building a high-performance blockchain operating system that provides high throughput without sacrificing decentralization or security. Our project is a full-stack solution that lets anyone deploy a Fuel chain using any configuration they would like (Rollup on Ethereum, Sovereign chain, Appchain, etc.). Currently, our focus is to launch an Ethereum rollup to help scale Ethereum beyond its current capacity.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to support our CTO in leading the Core teams.

Core currently includes Client, Sway, SDK and Tooling. 

Our ideal candidate is a former developer or EM, with experience in Web3 and blockchains, a passion for people and smooth delivery, and a track record of successfully integrating in the culture, and bringing teams to perform at their best. Our engineering culture is very specific and one of the main drivers of our success. Our new EM will need to vibe with the nuances, while supporting the growth of everyone around them.
