  • What is thirdweb? *

Glad you asked!
We’re empowering builders to create a new generation of the internet.
Cool. So, what does that mean?
We make building in web3 incredibly easy. Our tools help everyone from developers to creators build the web3 apps and features of their dreams.
Y’know, no one knows what exactly the future of web3 will look like, but what we do know is that it will a transformative impact on our world. That’s why we’re focused on unleashing the many promises of web3 to a whole generation of builders. Because when builders have the right tools at their fingertips—magic happens.
We started thirdweb in the second half of 2021 and our community of builders has exploded ever since. Over 1M unique wallets have interacted with our contracts on mainnet, deploying tens of thousands of projects to the same. It’s been a hell of a journey so far, and the momentum is only increasing.
We’re looking to grow our team to help us become the default platform of choice for anyone who wants to build web3 apps and services.
Our Founders
thirdweb was founded by builders with deep experience in tech and a track record of creating epic companies: Furqan Rydhan, previous Founder and CTO of Applovin (IPO), and CTO of Bebo (Acquired by Amazon); and Steven Bartlett, previous Founder and CEO of Social Chain (IPO). Now they’ve got their sights set on a new challenge, and are building a bold team to pave the way with them.
What We Offer
🧾 Competitive salary, equity, 401K
👩⚕️ Full healthcare, vision, dental
⌨️ $1,500 home office equipment stipend
💻 Latest and greatest laptop of your choice
💪 Physical and mental wellness programs
🏢 Office stipend to rent out-of-home office space
✈️ The ability to work remotely or in one of our stunning office spaces in Fort Mason, San Francisco and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The role
Work in a small team of engineers to build excellent developers' experiences on thirdweb. You will collaborate with the product team to simplify Web3 development across all platforms (web, mobile, backend, game engine).
What a Typical Week Might Look Like
  • Plan, develop, and support core product features for [Web3 SDK], [Contracts SDK] and [smart contracts]
  • Collaborate with the team to brainstorm solutions to customer challenges, plan new features, and extract learnings from technical misses
  • Communicate with our customers to assist in integrating thirdweb into their application or platform
  • Write developer documentation to explain the functionality of the SDKs
  • Design and implement gas optimized gas contracts deployed by hundred of thousands of developers
  • Create new smart contract frameworks and tools to help developers create safe and optimal smart contracts
  • Engage with a large community of developers, companies and auditors accross the industry

What We're Looking For
  • 1+ year of professional smart contract development experience
  • Experience in popular languages and framework in Solidity, EVM, Foundry
  • Excited about working in a fast-paced, unstructured environment that prioritizes delivering impact and learning over process
  • Curious about technology outside of your direct expertise and have an appetite for learning
  • A self-starter in proposing and carrying out technical solutions to ambiguous business problems
  • Know when and how to make calculated tradeoffs to meet the needs of the customer and business

Bonus Points
  • Experience in developer-first products (SDKs, API design, technical documentation)
  • Experience in blockchain development (interacting with wallets or smart contracts)
  • Experience in blockchain technologies (EVM, L2, Solana, Flow, NEAR, Cosmos)

What is the meaning of Layer 2?

Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)

The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum

Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:

  1. Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
  2. Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
  3. State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
  4. Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
  5. Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
  6. Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
  7. Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
  8. Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
  9. Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
