Mysten Labs is building foundational infrastructure for decentralized protocols and blockchain technologies. We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the team building wallet and DeFi experiences for the Sui ecosystem, including Slush—a wallet available across web, browser extension, iOS, and Android.
In this role, you will own team health and engineering outcomes for a product where errors directly affect user assets and trust. You will lead engineers working across wallet clients, supporting services, and onchain integrations, and partner with product, design, security, protocol, and ecosystem teams to set direction, make sound technical tradeoffs, and ship dependable experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead, hire, coach, and retain a team of engineers across wallet clients, backend services, and onchain integrations
- Set technical direction for account creation and recovery, key management, signing, transaction construction and simulation, dApp connectivity, asset management, swaps, and other DeFi experiences
- Create clear ownership and execution plans across web, browser extension, iOS, Android, backend services, SDKs, and protocol dependencies
- Raise standards for architecture, testing, release safety, observability, incident response, and post-incident learning in an asset-sensitive product
- Partner with product and design to simplify complex onchain workflows while maintaining transparency about fees, permissions, risks, and transaction outcomes
- Work with security and protocol teams to evaluate threats, manage dependencies, and balance usability, decentralization, privacy, and asset protection
- Use data, user research, support feedback, and ecosystem context to prioritize work and measure outcomes
Requirements:
- Experience managing and developing software engineers, including senior engineers, in a high-ownership product environment
- Direct experience shipping production blockchain wallet functionality; deep understanding of self-custody, private-key security, signing, recovery, transaction lifecycle, chain and RPC failure modes, and wallet-to-dApp interaction patterns
- Hands-on DeFi fluency with regular use of onchain products; ability to reason about liquidity, routing, slippage, staking, lending, bridges, protocol and smart-contract risk, and user protections for financial transactions
- Strong systems judgment across client applications, backend services, APIs/SDKs, distributed dependencies, monitoring, and operational response
- Proven record of setting direction in ambiguous environments, improving execution, and delivering reliable products across multiple platforms
- Ability to partner closely with product, design, security, and senior technical leaders while maintaining clear engineering accountability
Preferred Experience:
- Experience integrating decentralized exchanges, aggregators, bridges, staking, lending, or fiat on- and off-ramps into a wallet
- Familiarity with Sui, Move, programmable transaction blocks, zkLogin, Wallet Standard, or another modern smart-contract platform
- Experience leading products through rapid growth, high transaction volume, security review, or asset-impacting incidents
