Youll join a network of entrepreneurs and technologists that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. Consensys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies. 

What youll do

As an Object Capability Engineer, your task is to implement an ocap kernel inside of MetaMask, with which we intend to create APIs and user experiences that would otherwise be infeasible. This pioneering effort aims to enable mutually suspicious programs to interoperate in the same user interface, without the possibility of interference or privilege escalation. Our ambition is to spread this paradigm, provisionally named secure composability, throughout and beyond web3.

You'll be working in a collaborative environment at the cutting edge of the Web, JavaScript, and web3. Technologies used in your day-to-day include the endo project and Hardened JavaScript (SES) developed by Agoric, and MetaMask Snaps. Your work will be instrumental in improving the composability and developer experience of Snaps, making it easier for them to introduce runtime dependencies on one another.
