The Firm
Paradigm is a San Francisco-based investment firm focused on crypto and frontier technologies across the globe, with over $11 billion in assets under management. We make investments in companies and protocols at all stages, ranging from early-stage venture financing rounds to growth equity to liquid token assets.
Paradigm was co-founded in 2018 by Matt Huang (former Partner at Sequoia Capital) and Fred Ehrsam (co-founder of Coinbase). Since then we’ve been hard at work building a world-class team of brilliant mutants to investigate the world’s most beautiful technical problems. Our research-driven approach helps us build relationships with founders and entrepreneurs, but it also reflects our broader goal of growing the crypto ecosystem globally and accelerating crypto’s ability to advance the world we live in. We believe that crypto will ultimately redefine money, finance, and the internet itself, and this technological revolution will have a fundamental and long-lasting impact on the global economy.
The Role
Given the technical complexity of the projects we invest in, engineering is incredibly important to Paradigm. Engineering is responsible for building the Paradigm "operating system" that supports the entire investment and portfolio management process from entrepreneur discovery through investment exit. The system is the source of truth - building insights to the fund’s positions and relationships that inform how Paradigm invests and manages its portfolio.
Paradigm's engineering team is responsible for 1) all of our user-facing components & apps, and ultimately delivers and supports all of Paradigm’s products and 2) all of the backend components, compute, networking, and storage that form the basis for all of Paradigm’s products. A big part of the team’s mission is to come up with the best solution to a given problem while minimizing tech debt. You’ll have significant ownership over what the team creates.
