About Us 🚀

Immutable is a global technology company, powering the world of NFTs on Ethereum. We are on a mission to be the number one ecosystem for NFTs which empowers and rewards users. Founded in 2018, Immutable is one of the fastest Australian companies to hit unicorn status, having raised more than AUD $300M+ and a valuation of AUD $3.5 billion.

Our Immutable Engineering Team is the powerhouse behind the world's top gaming-focused NFT Trading Ecosystem. Our team builds user experiences that delightfully and readily meet the demands of planet-scale web3 games. We solve complex problems at the bleeding edge of technology and have tons of fun.

Immutable can hire engineers across the Asia Pacific region. We can conduct all interviews and onboarding remotely and pride ourselves on our global experience. You can work from our Immutable HQ in Sydney, or we will provide a WeWork all-access pass in any major city. We also offer relocation packages to Australia!

Our ambition is to make digital worlds real; we have incredible global growth plans as we strive to become the number one ecosystem for NFTs. 🚀

A bit about the role:

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will work in a high performing and passionate team focused on building out the Immutable Passport, the instant wallet onboarding solution for web3 games.

The two biggest challenges facing web3 game studios today are security and player onboarding. This is largely due to a unique requirement for web3 games: the need for a crypto wallet. Immutable Passport is a non-custodial wallet and authentication solution streamlining user onboarding through passwordless sign-on and automated wallet creation. Through Passport, game studios can drive adoption across mainstream audiences, maintain enterprise-grade security, and achieve global scalability. On the other side, gamers get access to a secure digital wallet, protection against fraud, and seamless authentication across web3 games and marketplaces as they discover and explore new digital worlds. In this role, you'll have a lot of flexibility regarding tools, technology and architecture: most of your goals will be product-driven rather than tech-driven.

Our mission is to propel Immutable Passport to the status of undisputed #1 gaming wallet in the world. As Immutable helps businesses scale, we’re looking to scale, too! We are searching for passionate software engineers who want to work on genuinely hard problems in the most exciting space in the world right now. We usually work in tight-knit, highly collaborative squads of 3-4 engineers. We often pair, or even mob on our tasks, and our credo is to succeed or fail together as a team. You don’t need any blockchain experience; you just need solid engineering principles, good communication skills, and a passion for learning about the future of digital asset ownership.

You will have the opportunity to:

Work on Immutable Passport - Immutable’s crypto wallet and one of our flagship products
Focus on front-end components of Passport, but also have significant exposure to back-end and blockchain development
Engage with multiple diverse stakeholders, up to and including the Founders, to arrive at the best product decisions
Work across a range of bleeding-edge technologies: Go, React, Typescript, AWS, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Microservices, Event Oriented Systems, Terraform, exposure to Blockchain Development - Solidity
Be part of a collaborative team environment
Participate in team planning and product design sessions
Help estimate and prioritise proposed features
Work in an experimental environment, learning from customer feedback and iterating on products
Work closely with your team members to ensure operational excellence for the services your team owns
Continually work with your team to iterate on ways of working

We would love you to have:

8 + years of deep engineering experience with extensive exposure to a product development environment
Extensive front-end experience with TypeScript and React is a must
Experience in testing client-side applications at different levels (unit, component, app) is a must
The ability to write clean, efficient, testable and maintainable TypeScript code is essential
The ability to work comfortably across a range of technologies
The ability to teach best practices to junior team members
A passion for delivering fantastic products to our users
Solid verbal and written communication skills, with empathy, allowing you to communicate effectively across a range of stakeholders
Start-up and scale-up experience would be advantageous
An interest or keenness to upskill in the Web3 space
Experience or interest in taking active part in setting product direction for the team

Bonus Points for:

Experience with web3 client-side technologies, such as ethers.js, Wagmi, WalletConnect and RainbowKit is desirable
Some exposure to back-end engineering with AWS is highly desirable
Experience or interest in blockchain technologies
