Tech Lead - Flow Wallet

Flow is a layer one blockchain designed from the ground up as a platform for a new generation of Web3 apps, games, and the digital assets that power them. Flow is home today to millions of users and apps from top tier creators including Genies, Cryptoys, Doodles, and Dapper Labs (NBA, NFL, Disney) as well as industry leaders such as Mattel (Barbie, Hot Wheels), LiveNation / Ticketmaster, and many more.

2025 will be Flow’s biggest year yet. To prepare, Flow launched Flow Wallet - a new wallet built from the ground up for Flow. Flow Wallet aims to set the new standard for wallets across all of Web3 by leveraging what’s uniquely possible with Flow’s account abstraction, smart contract programming language Cadence, and mainstream consumer audience.

Flow’s mission is to take Web3 mainstream, and Flow Wallet is a big piece of the puzzle for how we’ll get there. We believe it’s unacceptable for users to have to tolerate the possibility of losing their keys, assets or accounts, have to set up their wallets using complex seed phrases, or worry about things like gas fees. At the end of the day, users just want to have fun, and feel safe to explore and experience what Web3 makes possible for them.

As Flow Wallet’s Tech Lead, you’ll get to pave the way forward for the Web3 industry at large, and you’ll love that you’ll be empowered to solve the frustrations you have with Web3 wallets first hand.
