As stewards of the Polkadot and Substrate ecosystem, Parity is laying the foundation for a better web. We believe in a decentralised web that respects the freedom and data of individuals and empowers developers to create better services. Our vision is to create a world based on truthful, rather than trustful, interactions.

Parity is one of the world's most experienced core blockchain infrastructure companies, having built and pioneered some of the most advanced technologies in the blockchain sector.

With a remote-first, global team, Parity is building open-source technologies for developers and organisations to implement and build upon. Our Web3 tech stack includes Polkadot, Substrate, and Kusama.

People in our collective are:

• Highly motivated to contribute to Parity’s mission and be part of something bigger

• Excited to work on projects that are groundbreaking and complex

• Autonomous workers that self-initiate, but also collaborate well with others

• Taking maximum accountability and having minimum ego at work

• Comfortable with chaos and adapting to the ever-changing Web3 space

• Continuously educating themselves about Parity and the wider ecosystem

About the team

The DevEx team works across the entire Polkadot ecosystem to improve developer workflows, tooling, and documentation. We own the experience of developers—from first contact with a template, guide, or CLI, to advanced tooling used in production.

This is not a support role. You’ll build the tools you wish already existed. You’ll collaborate with core engineering, marketing, solutions, and the community. You’ll also attend hackathons, support builders, and help scale what’s possible in the ecosystem.

About the Position

• Design and implement CLI tools, templates, SDKs, and onboarding flows.

• Improve and maintain documentation and developer portals.

• Write code samples, example projects, integration demos (Rust, TypeScript, Solidity).

• Contribute to better CI/CD setups for devs building with Substrate and Polkadot SDK.

• Engage with developer teams, answer deep technical questions, gather feedback.

• Work cross-functionally with engineering and product teams.

• Participate in events and hackathons, acting as an ambassador for great DevEx.
  

About You

• Comfortable working with Linux, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.

• A solid understanding of blockchain development, especially Substrate or EVM-based ecosystems.

• Experience writing technical documentation, tutorials, or guides.

• A bias toward automation, quality, and clarity.

• Enthusiasm for open source, hackathons, and building things developers love.

Bonus points for

• Experience with smart contracts.
