Job description

Overview

Web3 Technical Team Lead (3 month contractor position) at Linum Labs. This role involves coordinating a cross-functional Web3 team across frontend, backend, indexing, and contract integration workflows. Hands-on smart contract coding is not required, but you should be familiar with DeFi systems and how to guide a team in integrating contracts safely and effectively.

This range is provided by Linum Labs. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more.

Base pay range

$70,000.00 / yr - $88,000.00 / yr

Responsibilities

  • Technical Coordination : Ensure seamless communication and technical alignment between frontend, backend, QA, and smart contract teams.
  • Architecture Stewardship : Own the integration architecture — how contracts, The Graph, backend workers, and the web app interconnect.
  • Sprint Leadership : Translate high-level requirements into actionable engineering tasks and support the PM with sprint planning and team coordination.
  • Code Review (Non-Solidity) : Review and guide frontend, API / backend, and indexing work — ensuring implementation meets the spec and integrates cleanly with contracts.
  • Testing & Delivery : Coordinate QA across the stack, assist in defining test plans for DApp-contract interactions, and support final release testing and walkthroughs.

Must-Haves

  • 5+ years of engineering experience, with recent focus on Web3 or DeFi application delivery.
  • Proven experience integrating smart contracts into frontend or backend systems (e.g. via ethers.js, web3.js, or API wrappers).
  • Familiarity with The Graph, including designing subgraph schemas and using GraphQL for indexed on-chain data.
  • Experience working with product designers, PMs, and QA to coordinate cross-functional MVP delivery.
  • Prior technical lead role
  • TypeScript, NextJS, Node and React Knowledge
  • Interview Process

  • Culture Interview – A casual chat to get to know you.
  • Technical Assessment – Hands-on test, like identifying vulnerabilities in a contract.
  • Technical Interview – Discuss your assessment, approach, and expertise with our team.
  • Interview with the CEO of Linum Labs – Meet our leadership.
  • Why Join Us

  • Autonomy is real, not lip service
  • Big thinking backed by sharp execution
  • Culture is creative, unique, and ownership-driven
  • What You Get

  • A remote-first team with async-friendly flexibility
  • Paid travel to top global Web3 conferences and hackathons
  • Strong autonomy, real ownership, and no micromanagement
  • Projects with impact—from DeFi protocols to frontier experiments
  • Career growth in leadership, architecture, or founding your own product within our Venture Studio
