About Velvet

Velvet is an app platform for the next generation. We enable token-based registration, payments, and access through a headless SDK. Web3 put wallets in the hands of mainstream consumers, introducing user-centered passwordless accounts. We help app developers implement 10x better onboarding, and unlock a seamless single sign-on experience for consumers.

Our mission is to make it more delightful to transact online. Every app has three high friction drop-off points that lead to churn - Account creation, making a first payment, and ongoing access (retention). We offer effective tools to trigger token gates, pay for membership tokens, and monitor cohort analysis.

We just closed a first round of funding led by Chicago Ventures. We’re seeking entrepreneurial founding engineers who love building for the 0-1 phase of product development.

About this role

As a founding engineer, you’ll collaborate closely with the founders to move quickly and iterate towards product-market-fit.

We’re looking for software engineers who are experienced with building production-ready apps at scale. The ideal candidate is a full-stack generalist who is equally excited to build a delightful low-code interface, and a secure and flexible developer SDK. This role requires a balance between scrappy prototype code as we validate the MVP, and long-term architecture strategy as we grow from there.

This team will be remote-first, but we value in-person collaboration in the early days. Preference for people who can spend time in NYC starting Spring 2023.
