Senior Jobs in Crypto & Web3
Senior web3 roles carry ownership over architecture, technical direction, and mentorship, whether designing protocol upgrades, leading smart contract teams, or setting infrastructure strategy. These engineers and leaders make high-stakes decisions about security, upgradeability, and trade-offs that affect real funds and users.
Beyond coding, seniors review audits, set engineering standards, interview and grow teams, and translate roadmaps into shippable plans across staff, principal, and lead positions. Deep experience with the EVM or other runtimes, security practices, and the maturity to navigate ambiguity define candidates at this level.

Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes a senior web3 role from a mid-level one?
Seniors own architecture and technical direction, mentor others, make security-critical decisions, and lead projects end to end, rather than primarily executing well-scoped tasks.
Do senior roles still involve hands-on coding?
Many do, especially staff and principal engineering roles, though the balance shifts toward design, review, and leadership. Lead and management tracks may code less and coordinate more.
What experience do senior web3 jobs expect?
Typically several years building production systems, deep knowledge of a runtime like the EVM, a track record with security and audits, and the judgment to handle ambiguous, high-stakes decisions.
