The leading accelerator for crypto founders is looking to solve the problem of accelerating the next generation of top crypto and AI founders by hiring a Software Engineer to join their in-house engineering team and own features from requirements definition through production launch.
Requirements
- Product-Minded Builder: Proven ability to turn ambiguous business problems into shipped software without a dedicated PM or designer.
- Deep Stack Experience: Deep expertise with TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
- UX/UI Taste: A keen sense for UX/UI, including the ability to sketch flows or lightweight wireframes before beginning development.
- High-Agency IC: Hands-on individual contributor (IC) orientation with a strong ownership bias—you set priorities, move fast, and sweat the details.
- Mindset: Extremely high-agency, entrepreneurial, and self-driven.
- Modern Tooling: Comfortable using modern AI tools to move faster and increase productivity.
- Familiarity with Next.js and a modern database (e.g., Postgres/Prisma).
Responsibilities
- Own products end-to-end: From discovery and definition through implementation, launch, and iteration.
- Write production-grade TypeScript across the full stack (React/Next.js on the front-end; Node.js on the back-end).
- Build and maintain critical internal tools that improve the speed and efficiency of our team.
- Ship features across our external sites and web applications, including our founder portal (Space) and public marketing surfaces.
- Craft polished UIs with React, contributing components and patterns back to our internal component library.
- Integrate third-party APIs (auth, payments, email) and own data models, caching, and performance optimization.
- Raise the bar on engineering quality through thorough code reviews, CI/CD improvements, and a focus on reliability and accessibility.
Other
- Location: NYC-based or willing to relocate to New York City (non-negotiable).
- Commitment to Equality and Accessibility: At MLabs, we are committed to offer equal opportunities to all candidates.
- Career Accelerator: This role sets you up, experience- and network-wise, for any high-impact path in crypto/AI—at startups, venture firms, or your own company.
- Team: Join a small, high-trust, high-performance team of veterans from companies like Meta, WhatsApp, Coinbase, and Y Combinator.
- Network: Work with the most ambitious founders in crypto and AI, backed by S-tier investors including Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Multicoin, and Dragonfly.
