Engineering Manager

Who you are

• You should have direct experience building wallets and be an active, informed DeFi user
• Experience managing and developing software engineers, including senior engineers, in a high-ownership product environment
• Direct experience shipping production blockchain wallet functionality. You understand self-custody, private-key security, signing, recovery, transaction lifecycle, chain and RPC failure modes, and wallet-to-dApp interaction patterns
• Hands-on DeFi fluency. You regularly use onchain products and can reason about liquidity, routing, slippage, staking, lending, bridges, protocol and smart-contract risk, and the user protections required for financial transactions
• Strong systems judgment across client applications, backend services, APIs or SDKs, distributed dependencies, monitoring, and operational response
• A record of setting direction in ambiguous environments, improving execution, and delivering reliable products across multiple platforms or surfaces
• Ability to partner closely with product, design, security, and senior technical leaders while maintaining clear engineering accountability
• Experience integrating decentralized exchanges, aggregators, bridges, staking, lending, or fiat on- and off-ramps into a wallet
• Familiarity with Sui, Move, programmable transaction blocks, zkLogin, Wallet Standard, or another modern smart-contract platform
• Experience leading products through rapid growth, high transaction volume, security review, or asset-impacting incidents

What the job involves

• We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead engineers building wallet and DeFi experiences for the Sui ecosystem
• This person will support Slush, Mysten Labs' wallet available across web, browser extension, iOS, and Android, and will help shape how users discover, understand, and execute onchain actions
• You will own team health and engineering outcomes for a product where errors can affect user assets and trust
• You will partner with product, design, security, protocol, and ecosystem teams to set direction, make sound technical tradeoffs, and ship dependable experiences
• Lead, hire, coach, and retain a team of engineers working across wallet clients, supporting services, and onchain integrations
• Set technical direction with senior engineers for account creation and recovery, key management, signing, transaction construction and simulation, dApp connectivity, asset management, swaps, and other DeFi experiences
• Create clear ownership and execution plans across web, browser extension, iOS, Android, backend services, SDKs, and protocol dependencies
• Raise standards for architecture, testing, release safety, observability, incident response, and post-incident learning in an asset-sensitive product
• Partner with product and design to simplify complex onchain workflows without hiding material fees, permissions, risks, or transaction outcomes from users
• Work with security and protocol teams to evaluate threats, manage dependencies, and make informed tradeoffs between usability, decentralization, privacy, and protection of user assets
• Use data, user research, support feedback, and ecosystem context to prioritize work and measure product and engineering outcomes
