Job Description

The Firm

Paradigm is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on crypto and blockchain-related technologies across the globe. We make investments in companies and protocols at all stages including early-stage venture financing rounds, growth equity, and liquid token assets. Paradigm was co-founded in 2018 by Matt Huang (former Partner at Sequoia Capital) and Fred Ehrsam (co-founder of Coinbase). We are building a world-class team to support our portfolio and the crypto ecosystem globally.

The Role

Given the technical complexity of the projects we invest in, engineering is incredibly important to Paradigm.  Engineering is responsible for building the Paradigm "operating system" that supports the entire investment and portfolio management process from entrepreneur discovery through investment exit. The system is the source of truth -- building insights to the fund’s positions and relationships that inform how Paradigm invests and manages its portfolio.

Paradigm's engineering team is responsible for 1) all of our user-facing components & apps, and ultimately delivers and supports all of Paradigm’s products and 2) all of the backend components, compute, networking, and storage that form the basis for all of Paradigm’s products. A big part of the team’s mission is to come up with the best solution to a given problem while minimizing tech debt. You’ll have significant ownership over what the team creates.
