We’re building for a future where the internet and world economy empowers people, instead of treating people like a product. Where our interactions are based on consent, privacy, and people freely associating with one another. Where communities can flourish and individuals can pursue their dreams. To accomplish that, we’re working hard to make web3 more accessible for everyone.
MetaMask is both a blockchain wallet and a gateway to the entire decentralized web. Our tools help people create communities, play video games, access financial services, make payments, invest in assets, survive economic turmoil, and more use cases than we can even predict. We exist across multiple platforms (browser extension and mobile), and we serve the whole decentralized ecosystem.
We’re Hiring for MetaMask Core
One defining aspect of engineering at MetaMask is that we don’t maintain servers or databases. All of our users data is stored either locally on device or on the blockchain. Meanwhile, real time updates to data that is rendered to the user depends on our connection with external sources that draw from on-chain data.
Managing data in this context is a unique and interesting challenge. The need for data integrity, security and privacy is very high within a wallet. To meet this need, we build and maintain MetaMask Controllers, a “Collection of platform-agnostic modules for creating secure data models for cryptocurrency wallets”.
MetaMask Controllers is the data management layer at the core of our browser extension and mobile app code. Currently, all of mobile’s functionality and a large amount of the extension’s functionality depends on this code. We are currently pursuing a goal of fully unifying this data management layer across mobile and extension.
Once we achieve this, we will grow MetaMask controllers into a “wallet SDK”. This will be an internal product that will form the foundation of our extension and mobile products, our dapp API, as well as future products (e.g. a native Desktop Client).
We are looking for engineers to help build the core of MetaMask. This should be an exciting opportunity for engineers passionate about api design, data architecture, building javascript modules for other engineers, unit tests, code abstraction, wallet standardization and/or building SDKs.
