Our mission is to bring web3 to a billion people, by providing builders with the tools they need to build exceptional onchain products. Alchemy is the only complete developer platform that offers the powerful APIs, SDKs, and tools necessary to build and scale onchain apps and rollups.
Our infrastructure powers 70% of the top web3 teams, 90%+ of web2 companies building in web3 and 100+ million end users. Our customers include top web3 brands like Polymarket, OpenSea, Circle, WorldCoin, as well as major global brands like Shopify and Adobe.
The Alchemy team draws from decades of deep expertise in massively scalable infrastructure, AI, and blockchain from leadership roles at leading companies and universities like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Stanford, and MIT.
We're backed by the world's leading VCs and institutions, including: Lightspeed, Silver Lake, a16z, Coatue, Pantera, Addition, Stanford University, Coinbase, and Charles Schwab, among others.
There are almost 30 million developers in the world but only about 30 thousand actively working in Web3. The Developer Experience (DX) team plays a critical role in Alchemy's mission to bring blockchain to a billion people by building tools for developers, including web apps, command line tools, and SDKs to lower the barrier to entry and inspire the next generation of software.
As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the DX team, you’ll work on developer-facing projects but also collaborate with almost every other team at Alchemy, from product teams like Chain Services and Wallet Services to Sales and Marketing and even external developers through our Open Source projects. There are opportunities to play with a huge range of both modern technologies like web apps, APIs, databases, SDKs, and command line tools, but also Web3 technologies like wallets, faucets, and bridges.

- You have 5+ years of relevant industry experience, especially in scrappy startups as a founder or early hire
