Parity Technologies builds core infrastructure for blockchains and the future Web — one that respects the freedom and data of individuals — and helps empower developers to create better services through decentralized technologies.

You’ll be part of a cross-functional team building tooling and integrations with our external partners, builders, and customers. Your job would be to provide seamless integrations with Substrate runtimes, parachains, and APIs by building client side tooling and libraries in Javascript.

Examples of the technologies you will be working with:

• Substrate: https://github.com/paritytech/substrate
• Polkadot-JS API: https://polkadot.js.org/
• Substrate-API-Sidecar: https://github.com/paritytech/substrate-api-sidecar

Your tasks will include:

• Designing and building APIs to help external teams integrate their blockchains with core infrastructure.
• Supporting the entire project lifecycle (concept, design, build, test, release and support).
• Keeping up to date with the blockchain space in general and the Substrate/Polkadot ecosystem in particular.
• Working with the ecosystem team to ensure we build what people need.
• Collaborating with the core Substrate team to plan and implement new features and improvements.

Your Background:

• Experience in working with a range of different JavaScript APIs and Frameworks. We use TypeScript.
• Ability to learn new technologies and concepts quickly.
• Ability to come up with technical solutions and application architecture.
• Ability to work autonomously, be proactive, prioritize, communicate, and function in a distributed team.
• An interest in Rust.
• Passionate about bringing the vision of a decentralized web to the world.

Nice-to-haves:

• Open Source experience.
• Knowledge about blockchain technologies.
• Knowledge in programming languages other than JavaScript / TypeScript.

Benefits:

• Globally competitive compensation.
• Opportunity to become an expert in the latest blockchain technologies.
• Working at Parity means focusing on stuff that matters: building cutting-edge technology for a better and more decentralized internet. Our teams enjoy a high degree of freedom and autonomy to achieve that goal.
• Because we value initiative and learning, all employees have a generous personal budget to attend conferences or other learning tools of your own choosing. We think you know what's best for you!
• Parity is a diverse company with people from various countries and we will support you with German language courses and relocation where needed (and desired).
• We have a remote-friendly company setup.
• Bringing the team together is something we value a lot and we have regular company retreats (or will have, pending the Covid pandemic).
