Role
Who you are
- If you are an entrepreneurial person with exceptional engineering talent, we’d love to hear from you!
- You bring over 5 years of professional working experience
- You like to ship high quality code. You make deadlines for yourself and you move fast. You focus on the things that matter and push back on things that don’t. People know they can count on you to get things done
- You love to code. You build stuff for fun on nights and weekends. You contribute to open source. You have deep expertise in certain areas but you consider yourself a generalist and you enjoy learning new platforms
- You’re really smart. You were a top student in your computer science program or have been teaching yourself programming from an early age. You like being around people who challenge you
- You’re curious. You want to understand how things work. You value interesting things, especially outside your discipline. You like teaching others and constantly learning. You read and question things
- You’re scrappy and entrepreneurial. You’ve built apps for fun and worked on side projects before. You’re interested in all aspects of startups - from user testing, to marketing, to raising capital. If you haven’t already started your own company, you think you might like to in the future
- You care about the product. You might not be a product expert, but you value good design. You enjoy thinking about why certain products work and discussing new apps. You want to build delightful products that users love and that make people’s lives more meaningful
- You have good values. You enjoy hanging out with your teammates, make the workplace more fun for everyone, and care about doing the right thing
- You are a 10x thinker, far more excited by huge disruptions than by small improvements. If something is hard, that makes it more fun, and you know that if anyone can figure it out, you can
What the job involves
- As an engineer at CoinList you’ll find that your days are filled with all sorts of fascinating challenges -- from building out new products to working directly with crypto builders
- Our work is difficult and ambitious, which is what makes it fun
- The onboarding team is new at CoinList and so it is an opportunity to build products from scratch
- You’ll contribute in all areas. You might choose to go deep in web development or building open source dev tools to automate our operations, but like your teammates you’ll make a habit of working across the stack, frequently picking up new languages and platforms as needed
- You’ll ship product. From hack days, to experimental prototypes, to developing a new type of auction model, you’ll constantly be building and shipping product. You’ll write clean, well-documented code, do unit tests, follow best practices, and have the benefit of working in a place where people move fast
- You’ll rapidly grow and improve. At CoinList you’ll be working with some of the smartest engineers you’ve ever met, who love to learn and teach each other. You’ll find yourself stretching to new areas, immersed in feedback, and engrossed in deep conversations on a daily basis
- You’ll help shape the product. Our whole team cares deeply about the product and has significant input into its development. You’ll beta test new prototypes and talk directly with users, and your ideas will always be heard
- You’ll learn about startups. From fundraising, to recruiting, to negotiating an office lease, you’ll learn everything there is to know about growing and running a startup of your own, and we’ll do everything we can to connect you with mentors and advisors to help you with your career for years to come
- You’ll be an owner. We believe in hiring smart people and giving them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whether it’s running a critical token sale or leading our work on a new platform, we’ll make sure you are always pushing yourself to new levels
- You’ll create the future. Crypto is a far bigger deal than most people realize, and at CoinList you will be be at the forefront of it. There are all sorts of technical challenges you’ll be working though and new questions you’ll have to answer, in partnership with founders for the leading crypto projects across the globe. If you’re successful, you’ll build something the world has never before seen
Our take
With a long list of tech masterminds behind its crypto platform, CoinList promises founders a more organized way to raise money for their token-based networks. The CoinDesk platform also provides consumers with news and insights, podcasts, live streaming TV shows, research reports, live events, and toolkits of indexes, data and analytics.
With over 8 million users, CoinList is one of the fastest-growing crypto platforms available. It lets users lend, trade, buy, and stake the best new tokens such as Solana and Flow before they list on other exchanges. What's more, the vast majority of funds are stored offline and CoinList only works with reputable custodians, providing peace of mind for crypto companies.
In recent years, the rate of token sales across the crypto industry has decreased - a fact which CoinDesk has not ignored. The company recently expanded into the distribution of tokenized real-world assets with the launch of its platform "Passage", as it believes more financial products will move onchain in the near future.
