Parity is one of the world’s most experienced companies building the core infrastructure behind blockchain - the system that allows information and value to be shared securely without needing an intermediary. We’re laying the foundation for a better web which respects the freedom and data of individuals, and empowers developers to build better, more trustworthy online services.
Our remote-first, global team develop open-source software that anyone can use or improve. This includes Polkadot, the Polkadot SDK and Kusama - key parts of the Web3 tech stack, the next generation of the internet. Our mission is to make Polkadot the most active and innovative community in blockchain, powering a new era of connected and decentralised applications.
This role sits in our Acceleration department, home to the people who drive ecosystem growth by building tools, integrations, and partnerships across the Polkadot network.
We are looking for new engineers to join the Platform function. In these positions, you will:
Design and implement the shared infrastructure and services that the Polkadot platform is built on
Build the SDKs and APIs that developers use to create and deploy applications on the platform
Work on the user agents that run these applications on web, desktop and mobile
Help keep the platform secure, reliable, and able to scale to a large number of users
Work autonomously and solve problems independently
Care about the developers who use your work, and build interfaces that are stable and easy to use
Collaborate with others in an open-source culture
Take ownership of your work and be responsible for outcomes
Have good communication skills and can present work in "plain English" in blog posts or conferences
Parity was founded by a visionary group of blockchain pioneers, including Dr. Gavin Wood, co-founder of Ethereum, and Jutta Steiner. We started as a remote-first organization, with our team spread across the globe—Berlin, London, and beyond—sharing a commitment to decentralization, collaboration, and excellence.
We’re a remote-first, globally distributed team of around 200 passionate engineers and operational specialists. From one-click testnet deployment to core protocol development, we’re improving the Web3 developer experience and enabling real-world adoption. If you’re excited about building a better internet, we’d love to hear from you.
