Role
Who you are
- At least 4 years of experience working with TypeScript, and component-based UI frameworks like React
- Expertise with TypeScript and interest/familiarity with a low-level programming language such as Rust
- Experience in building APIs and supporting production services at scale
- Excellent interpersonal communication skills needed to partner effectively with teams in a fully remote environment, and the ability to discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences alike
- A solid understanding of software design patterns, and how to build components that are reusable, extensible, and modular
- Comfort with diving deeper into the stack to fix a bug or add a feature that will improve the end-to-end user experience
What the job involves
- As part of the Product Enablement team, you will help build the mission-critical platform and tooling for dApps on the Sui network
- As these are the principal way that the ecosystem interacts with Sui and Walrus, your impact is highly-visible, supporting all developers, partners, and projects
- You will create new Typescript SDKs and APIs that enable developers to efficiently and intuitively interact with Sui, the Move language, and Walrus
- You will drive standards across the ecosystem, and design new architectures to support future dApp challenges
- You will work closely with our core network team to help define, build and standardize SDK and API functionalities
- You will work closely with the Developer Relations, Documentation, and Partnership teams prioritizing partner/community requirements to address developer pain points and increase their velocity
- You will identify patterns in developer needs, architect and build new solutions to solve these problems generally
- You will engage with a community of open source developers on projects that encompass many different frameworks and languages, and help onboard them into the ecosystem
- You will collaborate with the team on code review and design, and contribute to best practices for all of engineering
- You will continually investigate and improve inefficiencies and bottlenecks with our SDKs and APIs
Our take
Mysten Labs was created with the ambition to build a blockchain comparable to Ethereum or Solanan - but with even greater capabilities. That means tackling pain points currently found in blockchain technology, like scaling transactions and speed to meet growing demand.
To do this, Mysten is building foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0 which supports the accelerated development and adoption of decentralized services. The startup is determined to build a platform that finally lets Web 3.0 developers focus on UI, without compromising on security.
The company has focussed on expanding partnerships with existing networks such as Ethos and Orange Comet Partners, who have integrated Mysten technology, as well as open protocols based on Mysten-designed components. Ensuring that it assigns developer and community outreach resources in the right places will be crucial to building a sustainable business in this relatively young space.
