DEV Jobs at Paradigm

The Firm

Paradigm is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on crypto and blockchain-related technologies across the globe. We make investments in companies and protocols at all stages including early-stage venture financing rounds, growth equity, and liquid token assets. Paradigm was co-founded in 2018 by Matt Huang (former Partner at Sequoia Capital) and Fred Ehrsam (co-founder of Coinbase). We are building a world-class team to support our portfolio and the crypto ecosystem globally.

Given the technical complexity of the blockchain projects we invest in, engineering is incredibly important to Paradigm, and our engineers are tasked with the critical role of creating the operating system of the fund. From data collation to investment discovery to custom on chain contracts, our engineers are in charge of building the system that directs all investment activity -- on chain, in custody, traded, or privately held. The system is the source of truth -- building insights to the fund’s positions that inform how Paradigm invests and manages its portfolio. Projects at Paradigm are rapidly expanding as interest from the rest of the world descends on the ecosystem, and we find ourselves with more opportunity in front of us than bandwidth to help bring it to life. We’re looking for open-minded individuals to come help shape the future of crypto from the inside out.

The Role

Paradigm is looking for a backend engineer to help us build our Backend team. This team is responsible for all of the backend components, compute, networking, and storage that form the basis for all of Paradigm’s products.  A big part of the team’s mission is to come up with the best solution to a given problem while minimizing tech debt. You’ll have significant ownership over what the team creates.

In a decade, you’ll be able to look back and see how your work at Paradigm has helped create the financial system of the future, fundamentally transforming this burgeoning industry.
