Senior Software Engineer (TypeScript) (San Francisco)

About Magna

Magna is building software infrastructure for the largest and most innovative networks/protocols in the web3 space and is relied upon by top protocols. Our flagship product is Carta for Web3, a platform that makes it easy for crypto companies to manage and automate their employee token vesting, investor token unlocks, and community claim portals. This year alone, weve grown our platform to over $20 billion of tokens managed, hundreds of client projects, and millions of users.

Were a team of 18 in NYC & Europe backed by Y-Combinator, Tiger Global, and the biggest names in the space (Tusk Ventures, Circle, Galaxy Digital, Solana Ventures, Polygon Ventures, GSR, Tower Research, and many more). Our engineering team comes from top finance and distributed systems companies like Gemini, Morgan Stanley, and Palantir.

Our stack is primarily TypeScript (frontend + backend monorepo) and Rust (protocol + systems engineering). We care a lot about code quality and are active contributors to open source [1] [2] [3] .

What will you be building?

Were looking to expand our product suite (React + PostgreSQL) in line with the demand were seeing from customers. Were a B2B platform building in a frontier space that often involves us thinking creatively on the best way to balance UX, security, and performance. Shipping new features, architecting new high performance solutions (our platform is designed to help customers operate at scale), and interacting with our product/design team are all in scope for this role.

Youll find this interesting if you like:

1. Seeing your impact on a day-to-day basis. We currently average over $1M of transaction volume per day and have hundreds of thousands of users.

2. Building in an engineering-first space. Web3 is predicated on decentralized and open access compute resources, which engineers are best positioned to take advantage of.

3. Shipping fast. We sit at the center of the space in terms of our investors and customers, and are known as being a team that delivers across multiple ecosystems.

Some example projects areas weve taken on are:

1. Performance: Aggregating across multi-chain data sources to build a cache for historical blockchain transactions and price data.

2. Features: Implementing transaction flows for customers managing financial operations at scale (e.g. managing 200K+ asset distributions through the self-serve product).

3. Architecture: Migrating internal systems & libraries to an event-based architecture for readability + developer experience.

4. User Experience: Designing consumer-oriented interactions for end-user portfolio management (e.g. fun animations on claiming).
