Blockchain Jobs in San Francisco, California, United States

The engineering team at Valora Inc is focused on making blockchain and cryptocurrency systems accessible to anyone with a mobile device. Our flagship product, named Valora, is a mobile financial application built on top of the Celo blockchain network. Achieving our goal requires implementing solutions across the blockchain technical stack. We are looking to hire an engineering manager to lead a full-stack blockchain team.

As an engineering manager at Valora Inc, you and your team will design, implement, and operate features in Valora that solve financial challenges for Valora users across the world. Your team will work and integrate with other projects across the Celo community (e.g., DeFi projects). In addition to building features, you will be involved in the broader Celo and blockchain communities by contributing to open source and participating in community initiatives.

We work across mobile, cloud, and blockchain platforms. Valora is written using React Native and we code heavily in TypeScript. We implement smart contracts supporting Valora in Solidity and leverage cloud providers (e.g., Google Cloud) to deploy and host backend API implementations. Much of our work is open source, including Valora (https://github.com/valora-inc/wallet). Although we are invested in specific technologies, we care more about a growth mindset and excitement around learning than experience with specific tools.

You will

• Help build great teams and manage team health
• Manage performance and career development with your team members
• Design and implement features end-to-end across our technology stack
• Follow technical developments in software engineering and the blockchain space and help your team evolve its technical vision and leverage new technologies.

• 2+ years of experience as a software engineer manager
• 4+ years of experience contributing directly to full-stack projects
• Excitement around learning and developing new skills
• An ability to work effectively in a globally distributed team
• Bonus: experience with controlled experimentation (e.g., AB split tests)
• Bonus: experience working with blockchain technologies like Solidity and implementing mobile applications in React Native
