Engineering Manager, Wallet
About The Position
Mysten Labs is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead engineers building wallet and DeFi experiences for the Sui ecosystem. This role will support Slush, Mysten Labs' wallet available across web, browser extension, iOS, and Android, and will influence how users interact with onchain actions. The manager will be responsible for team health and engineering outcomes in a product where user assets and trust are paramount. This involves partnering with product, design, security, protocol, and ecosystem teams to define direction, make technical decisions, and deliver reliable user experiences. Direct experience building wallets and active participation in DeFi are essential.
Requirements
- 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.
Nice To Haves
- 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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
Benefits
- World-class team with tremendous growth potential
- Remote first hiring across the world
