Software Engineer, Full Stack

Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.

Crypto products are notoriously unfriendly to non-experts, yet hiding too much of what’s going on under the hood can undermine the trust that the technology is designed to ensure. We are looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer who can navigate this tension with rigor and good taste.

Key technologies we leverage: 

1. We love TypeScript and use it in all of our projects.

2. The backend for our user-facing products is powered by Node.js and Bun.

3. We use Redis and Postgres (via Prisma and Drizzle) as our persistent storage.

4. Our backends interact with downstream services built in Rust.

5. React, Relay, Tailwind, and Vite in our frontend applications.

6. React Native, Relay, Expo, and NativeWind for our mobile projects.

7. Interactions with the blockchain use GraphQL and JSON-RPC APIs.

What You’ll Do:

• Work with product, design, and frontend engineers on the team to determine what APIs are needed. You will develop, ship, and own these APIs end-to-end.

• You will implement and launch features for Mysten Labs’ wallet products.

• Collaborate closely with product and design teams to translate product vision into reality. This includes planning, implementing, and launching core features that elevate our user experience.

• Be at the forefront of exploring new product areas for Sui. Your insights will help us shape future product directions.

• You will invest in updating our frontend and backend-for-frontend architecture to utilize modern technologies, and design the project for stability and long term investment.

• You will work closely with our core network team to help define and build new API functionality.

• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies, and participate in technical discussions and provide guidance on architectural decisions

Our ideal candidate would have:

1. At least 4 years of experience in developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with JavaScript and modern, component-based JS frameworks like React.

2. At least 2 years of experience building APIs that power consumer-facing applications.

3. Comfort with diving deeper into the stack to fix a bug or add a feature that will improve the end-to-end user experience

4. Ability to navigate across multiple projects in a fast paced, startup environment.

5. Excellent interpersonal communication skills and ability to partner effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.

6. Comfort with diving deeper into the stack to fix a bug or add a feature that will improve the end-to-end user experience

7. Familiarity with Rust and React Native is not required but is a plus.
