Reporting into our Engineering Product Lead, you’ll be joining our Product Development team. The Product team defines priorities and works across engineering to design and deliver new features that improve Polkadot’s products and user experience.

The team gathers feedback, solves user problems, and helps make sure what we build is useful, usable, and adopted products across the ecosystem.

• Collaborate Globally – Work with engineers, product managers, and the wider blockchain community to push the limits of what’s possible.

Your skills

• Experience working with REST APIs, WebSockets, and real-time data handling.
