About Electric Capital

Prior to Electric Capital, we started seven companies (six acquired), invested in 100+ technology startups including Stripe, Instacart, Pinterest, Twitter, Uber, Cruise, Affirm, Notion, Figma, Airtable, and Wish, and served as executives at technology companies such as Facebook, Google, and Twitter.

We are early investors in many foundational crypto protocols and companies and are excited to spend the rest of our careers in this space. More than 50% of the team is composed of previous founders and builders.

Electric Capital is looking for a talented engineer who:

1. wants to work at the frontier of blockchain technology and cryptonetworks,
2. has entrepreneurial drive, and
3. has experience building complex, world-class products at scale.

You will be a founding member of our engineering team and will lead the development of projects that will benefit the crypto community, as well as our portfolio companies and fund operations. You will work closely with our investment team, and you will be responsible for quickly iterating, prototyping, and launching new crypto products.

Our goal is to build several products in a few areas where we or our founders have identified the need for better solutions. This includes:

• Fund operations
• Developer workflow
• Trading
• Wallet management

We are entrepreneurs ourselves, and as such, you may have the opportunity to spin off a company of your own, supported by Electric and our network. Joining us is a great way for you to meet like-minded crypto builders, contribute to the ecosystem, and further your career in this new field.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in either Rust, Python or Go
• Experience developing multiple production-quality software projects
• Drive, initiative, and self-motivation

• You have been at an early stage company before, as an early engineer or founder
