Role Description
Role

Responsibilities
- Build out well-tested, polished user experiences and applications using modern, component-based frameworks like React

- Build re-usable components and libraries for consumption by the open-source community that pull data from and interact with the Ethereum blockchain
Requirements
- Drive and ambition to lead the development of a brand new platform

About OpenSea
We’ve built the first (and largest) peer-to-peer marketplace for crypto assets, which include collectibles, gaming items, and other assets backed by a blockchain. We're operating in a brand-new market but growing rapidly: with over 12 million assets listed on our marketplace, 200+ apps using our platform, and power the crypto asset integration for Coinbase Wallet and Opera.
Our team has backgrounds from Stanford, Palantir, Pinterest, and Google, and is funded by YCombinator, Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, 1Confirmation, and Blockchain Capital.
Company Culture
Open-mindedness We pride ourselve in open-mindedness both internally and externally. Internally, we believe everyone should have the data, tools, and platform to make an argument that goes against the grain. Externally, we're strong evangelists of open protocols. Our platform is open to anyone building user-owned digital assets, and we build on well-adopted open standards.
Intellectual honesty We're very honest about the challenges we face as a company — we know we're operating in an early, uncertain market and we never sugercoat the state of the world. We feel the ability to carefully reason about future strategy is aided by full transparency and intellectual honesty from the founding team.
Fun
The digital collectible space is naturally weird and whacky (one engineer described our company as having a high coolness
factor). From selling Formula 1 Racing cars for hundreds of thousands of dollars to CryptoKitty museums inside of virtual worlds to new decentralized domain name systems, the space we're operating in is full of weird surprises. We have a lot of fun at OpenSea, but not because we enforce tacky company traditions; our culture is a natural byproduct of the space we're operating in and the folks we bring on to the team.
