Company mission
To unlock the collaborative power of communities by making Web 3.0 universally easy to use, access and build on.
Role
Who you are
- Championing major refactoring initiatives such as the Typescript migration
- Creating and maintaining developer tools such as ESlint rules, code quality and complexity static checks
- Use your knowledge and previous professional experience in Javascript, React, hooks and CSS to bring new UI features into the extension
- Front-end build tools: Grunt, Gulp, webpack, or similar
- Experience working with browsers, browser APIs and browser extensions
- Experience with CI tooling. We use GitHub Actions and CircleCI, but familiarity with any similar tools is also great
- Yarn, javascript dependency management and associated tooling
- Browsers and browser APIs
- Experience with testing: unit, integration, end-to-end
What the job involves
- As part of the MetaMask Extension team, you will contribute to core user experiences that all MetaMask users depend on, while also building the platform that other MetaMask teams need to deliver great functionality
- The Extension team’s core UX work includes network and account management, settings and onboarding flows, navigating the wallet, the “home screen” of the wallet, and the browser-wallet interface
- To contribute to this, you’ll write React and layout code to translate designs to reality for millions of users
- The Extension team’s platform work aims to enable other teams to effectively build and ship feature within the core UX described above
- We enable the teams building features such as Swaps, Snaps, the confirm screens, hardware wallet integrations, token and NFT management, and more
- We do this by building tooling, architecture, libraries and subsystems for initiatives such as: migrating our codebase to Typescript, making it easy and fun to write automated tests, improving state management and migration systems, better utilizing remote error monitoring systems, and enabling static analysis of code quality and complexity
- We also believe in working closely with our customer success team, and using specialized software for monitoring application performance and tracking errors
- This is a full stack role, and great match for someone who is equally as excited to build UIs react as they are to write lower level UIs with node.js
Our take
ConsenSys is an Ethereum software company that creates blockchain tools and infrastructure, allowing businesses to build the next generation of digital and tech applications. It has also moved forward into the Web 3.0 and metaverse space, continuing the principles of building a digital, decentralised economy.
The company's founder had already created the revolutionary Ethereum, and launched ConsenSys Software and ConsenSys Mesh, a blockchain investment company, to “harness” the powerful capabilities of Ethereum. Despite unicorn status, the company operates in unpredictable territory. Several bursts of reorganisation and a “merge” of sister company Ethereum means change is the norm for ConsenSys.
Regardless, the revolutionary technology and continuous breakthroughs that ConsenSys and the companies it invests in spearhead, show that they're flexible enough to maintain momentum. The business is extremely well-funded and eyeing up another fundraise which could see it valued at $3 billion.
