Remote flexibility

Undisclosed

The listing is advertised as remote but does not state which countries or regions candidates may work from.

Why this role is Undisclosed

We only label a role Work from anywhere, Region restricted or Work from home when the employer's own wording says so. We checked this advert under our current rules and found no country or region eligibility requirement in it. We don't guess, so it stays Undisclosed until the employer publishes enough location information. Here is exactly what the advert left out.

Countries you can work from: Not stated. The advert only gives "Remote", which names no country you must live in.
Whether the work is remote: Confirmed by the employer: "Our remote-first, global team develop open-source software"
Working hours: Stated: Async.

Worth a look all the same. Missing wording is usually a rushed job posting rather than a closed door, so ask where you can be based in your first message, before you write a tailored application.

About the Team

We are looking to hire for our Applied Engineering function.

About the Role

We are hiring a hands-on Engineering Manager who bridges high-level team leadership with active technical contribution. This is a 50/50 hybrid role designed for an engineering leader who still loves writing code, diving into architecture, and building alongside their team.

You will spend about half your time managing team dynamics, execution, and delivery, and the other half staying close to the codebase, contributing directly, conducting technical reviews, and helping navigate complex architectural trade-offs. If you are a former founder, entrepreneur, or seasoned Tech Lead who thrives at the intersection of hands-on engineering and people leadership, this role is built for you.

What You’ll Do

Balance Hands-On Coding & Leadership: Maintain an active coding presence (roughly 50% of your time), driving features, reviewing PRs, and staying embedded in day-to-day technical delivery.

Lead & Mentor Engineers: Coach and support a high-calibre team of ~9 engineers, fostering a healthy, high-trust environment focused on growth and delivery excellence.

Drive Architecture & System Design: Work closely with senior engineers and architects to design scalable Web3 systems, weigh trade-offs, and solve complex technical bottlenecks.

Delivery & Project Execution: Lead sprint planning, prioritization, and execution across complex technical workstreams in a distributed environment.

Stakeholder Alignment: Translate deep technical concepts into pragmatic delivery timelines for key stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

Team Operations & Hiring: Support technical hiring, onboarding, and continuous improvement of team processes and engineering standards.

What You’ll Bring

Hands-On Technical Depth: Strong background as a Software Engineer, Tech Lead, or Engineering Manager with a proven ability to write production-level code and architect complex systems.

Proven People Leadership: Experience managing or leading engineering teams, with a track record of supporting engineer growth, team culture, and delivery predictable execution.

Entrepreneurial Mindset: Prior experience as a founder, co-founder, or early-stage startup lead is highly desirable.

Web3 / Systems Familiarity: Strong interest or background in Web3, blockchain infrastructure, distributed systems, or low-level systems programming (e.g., Rust, Substrate, Go, or C++).

Pragmatic Delivery Skills: Strong ability to handle sprint management, dependency tracking, and cross-team communication without sacrificing technical rigor.

Remote-First Collaboration: Excellent asynchronous communication skills, operating comfortably in European or closely aligned time zones.

About Working With Us

Joining Parity means joining team mates who are genuinely excited about the impact their projects are having, and the opportunity to grow alongside some of the brightest minds in the Web3 space! You’ll work remotely and flexibly, while still getting to meet your team mates throughout the year at team and company-wide retreats.
