Unit 410 Jobs
There are 20 Web3 Jobs at Unit 410
Unit 410 was founded in 2018 by a trio of engineers from Coinbase, Google, and NASAâs Jet Propulsion Laboratory to enable the largest stakeholders to use their crypto in secure and novel ways. Weâve long believed in the potential of programmable money and are excited to continue pushing forward the state of the art through bleeding edge key generation and encryption services, industry leading operation of proof-of-stake nodes / validators on many networks, and actively protecting, participating, and giving back. Done right, proof-of-stake networks offer scaling, efficiency, and governance improvements over existing layer 1 protocols. But this comes with novel security challenges. Protecting online key material, and managing the risk of slashing requires new architectural patterns, hardening, and methods for secure cryptographic signatures. Weâre excited to continue to mature solutions across these areas and more. We also believe that staking and validating is not a zero-sum game and thereâs no shortage of work towards scaling programmable money so weâll continue to liberally open sourcing the tools weâve built. To date weâve shared many tools such as a Polkadot Transaction Parser, Polkadot Multisig WebApp, GCP SSH Certificate Authority, MPC for Tendermint Validators, Vault Shamir (in Go), Horcrux (CLI for Shamir), and many more.

This full stack engineering role works most closely with our supported protocols to generate, sign and broadcast operations that keep us at the forefront of crypto.
Job Responsibilities
- Understand our Networks: Explore and understand current and novel networks down to the lowest level, including their payloads, contract calls, and how the network comes to consensus.
- Operate Key Storage Systems: Design, deploy and operate systems that generate keys and contracts that can be used to participate in new cryptocurrency protocols with our clients.
- Aggressively Automate: Novel networks have sharp edges. Design fault tolerant systems first and then aggressively automate our tooling as our use cases become more well defined.
- Harden the Entire Stack: Work with internal and external security experts to harden our software, hardware, protocols and everything in-between.
- Identity New Opportunities: Cryptocurrency continues to accelerate. As our use cases become well defined, we roll forward into emergent protocols and opportunities.
Requirements
