Phantom is the modern money app used by tens of millions around the world. Our product combines everything people need to manage, spend, and grow their money in one simple, intuitive experience. Phantom brings all the control and flexibility of crypto-powered finance, without unnecessary complexity, into mainstream consumer finance.

By combining industry-leading security with thoughtfully designed tools, Phantom makes powerful financial tools feel approachable and easy to use.

Role Description

Identity Platform is the trust root of Phantom: we own authentication, unlocking, onboarding/key generation, and the signing pipeline that every transaction flows through. This is a business-critical area where bugs can lock users out or put funds at risk. You'll ship TypeScript across browser, Node.js, and mobile runtimes (e.g., Hermes) to keep these foundations fast, secure, and reliable.

Responsibilities
  • Own and evolve the signing path for every transaction in Phantom.

  • Build and harden authentication, unlocking, biometrics, and account access flows across web and mobile.

  • Ship passkeys (WebAuthn) and MFA improvements with a strong security/usability balance.

  • Own onboarding and key lifecycle flows: key generation/derivation, seed phrase flows, seedless registration, hardware wallet pairing.

  • Own sensitive key export/import experiences and related safety rails.

  • Write and maintain high-signal, non-flaky tests (unit/integration/e2e) for critical paths; ensure safe rollouts via monitoring and staged releases.

Qualifications

Must-have

  • 7+ years of experience

  • Strong TypeScript skills; comfortable shipping code across browser, Node.js, and mobile JS runtimes.

  • Proven ability to build high-signal, low-flake test suites for critical systems.

  • Familiarity with auth concepts and common mechanisms (sessions/tokens, MFA/OTP, WebAuthn/passkeys)

  • Strong engineering fundamentals: system design, debugging, and production reliability.

Nice-to-have

  • Deeper experience with OAuth2/OIDC, WebAuthn internals, cryptography, or key management systems.

  • Web3/wallet or signing-flow experience.

  • Security- or money-adjacent experience (identity, payments, custody).

  • Rust experience (or strong interest in learning it).

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
