This is money that is open, portable, agentic, and owned by you. MetaMask spent the last ten years building it; with 100M+ downloads, users in ~190 countries, and trillions in cumulative transaction volume, it's the most trusted self-custodial financial platform on the internet. Now we're building the operating system for your money: one place to hold, move, grow, and use anything you own. Join a remote-first, global team rebuilding how money works: a problem that touches everyone, every day.\n\nWhat you'll doAs a Staff Software Engineer, you will:\nOwn the technical architecture and roadmap for MetaMask's Perpetuals experience across Extension and Mobile — from real-time price/position data flows to order execution and margin/liquidation UX.\n\nSet technical direction and standards for trading-critical features: precision/decimal handling, state consistency under high-frequency updates, and resilience to feed/connectivity failures.\n\nDrive cross-team technical alignment with other experience teams and backend/protocol integration teams to ship complex, multi-team projects.\n\nIdentify and de-risk the hardest technical problems on the roadmap before they become blockers; make build-vs-buy and architecture trade-off calls for the domain.\n\nPartner with the Engineering Manager on prioritization, providing the technical judgment that shapes what gets built and in what order.\n\nMentor senior and mid-level engineers, run design/architecture reviews, and raise the technical bar through example, documentation, and code review.\n\nRepresent Perpetuals engineering in cross-functional planning with Product, Design, and other engineering leads.\n\nRequirements:\n8+ years working with web and mobile-based technologies\n\nExperience building trading, financial, or other correctness-critical systems where precision, race conditions, and state consistency carry real financial risk (margin, settlement, order matching, payments, etc.)\n\nExperience with real-time data systems (WebSockets, streaming price feeds, optimistic UI updates) and building resilient UX around unreliable network conditions\n\nTrack record of leading technical initiatives that span multiple teams or codebases without direct reporting authority — demonstrated Staff-level scope, not just Senior-level execution\n\nHands-on experience with React and React Native\n\nExtensive experience with modern Javascript (ES6/TypeScript/etc.)\n\nExperience with blockchain fundamentals across multiple blockchain architectures\n\nStrong working knowledge developing cross platform/browser compatibility\n\nExperience working in an agile development team\n\nExperience developing medium to large-scale applications across the entire stack with minimal tech debt through sensible abstractions, testing, linting, and adherence to coding/web standards\n\nExperience consuming and building APIs\n\nA demonstrable understanding of Continuous Integration\n\nStrong understanding of security risks specific to financial/trading products — transaction integrity, race conditions in state updates, precision/rounding bugs — in addition to standard web security threats (XSS, CSRF, etc.)\n\nBonus Points:\nDirect experience integrating with perpetuals/derivatives protocols (e.g., Hyperliquid, Lighter, or similar) or building trading infrastructure.\n\nExperience with cross-chain bridges, transaction lifecycle and/or interoperability solutions\n\nExperience working in a decentralized, distributed team\n\nPrevious experience working in Web3\n\nProduct knowledge about the Web3 wallet space\n\nMobile experience (React Native, Objective C, Swift)\n\nOther skills to demonstrate:\nExcellent verbal and written communication in English\n\nTeamwork, flexibility, initiative, communication and organization\n\nWillingness to constantly learn & improve, challenging yourself to stay at the top of your game\n\nDon't meet all the requirements? Don't sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you've got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway, detailing your relevant transferable skills in your cover letter. While we have a pretty good idea of what we need, we're ready for you to challenge our thinking on who needs to be in this role.\n\nIn the rapidly evolving Web3 space, we believe that everyone is a builder. This expansive paradigm requires a range of backgrounds, talents, skills, and experiences to influence and shape the future. At MetaMask, this diversity fuels our ability to shift control and redefine the realm of possibility. We are committed to ensuring that our technology empowers people and communities through decentralized technologies. We welcome the range of perspectives and differences and celebrate them. We're excited to see how your unique skills as a builder can contribute to our vision, drive innovation, and help us shape a more inclusive Web3.\n\nMetaMask is an equal opportunity employer.
