What the job involves
- Magic’s frontend team is responsible for building high-quality, innovative and performant experiences that delight our users
- We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who will help us disrupt the world of identity and radically simplify how developers and enterprises implement seamless web3 wallet solutions in their applications - uncompromising on user-experience, reliability, and security
- Authentication: you will work closely with product, design, and engineering stakeholders to (i) define requirements, (ii) drive technical decisions, and (iii) implement world class identity management services which allow customers to seamlessly and securely allow their users to authenticate into their products and manage their identities
- Architecture: you will collaborate with engineering peers across the organization to push forward measurable improvements to the architecture of all Magic systems, including our SDK and UI/UX components. You will collaborate with peers in writing and reviewing technical designs taking special attention to security and quality of proposed solutions

Our take
Password-based authentication is notoriously fragile - with many people reusuing the same password for every site they use, and the majority of all breaches caused by passwords. Magic is striving to bring an end to the traditional password authentication method, by providing developers with the tools to adopt secure, passwordless instant access to Web 3.0 wallets.
The company is trusted by Web 3.0 trailblazers including ImmutableX, Magic Eden, Zerion and Helium. It has continued to develop new capabilities as the Web 3.0 space matures - for instance with its collaborative launch of an all-in-one Web 3.0 loyalty solution with Uptop - to ensure that it remains able to deliver what the industry needs.
Magic has attracted significant investment from the likes of Northzone and Tiger Global, as well as most recently from PayPal Ventures. This latest capital will be invested in expanding its functionality and building up more use cases, on top of making a "deeper integration within the EU and APAC."
