About Magic Labs
If you’re excited about working on the forefront of chain abstraction, user experience and elevated design, we'd love for you to join our team.

Magic pioneered wallet abstraction in 2018, onboarding over 35 million wallets and 190,000 developers. We helped to create invisible wallet experiences for web3 trailblazers like Polymarket, Helium, WalletConnect and Immutable, as well as Fortune 500 brands like Forbes, Naver and Mattel. We've raised over $80 million from notable investors, including PayPal Ventures, Lightspeed, Placeholder, SV Angel, Naval Ravikant, and Balaji Srinivasan.

Today, Magic operates at the forefront of blockchain innovation, providing cutting-edge infrastructure and developer tooling to everyone building onchain. Our mission is to abstract away all technical complexity, empowering developers to create accessible end-user experiences. We believe every internet user should have access to apps and experiences onchain without the headache of traditional self-custody wallets—and the hassle of navigating siloed blockchain networks.

After setting the standard for wallet abstraction, Magic is on a mission to pioneer the next phase of abstraction: chain abstraction. With so many L1s, L2s and L3s entering the space in addition to new VMs, it’s never been more crucial to solve identity and liquidity fragmentation that spans across chains—this is how we’ll achieve true interoperability and seamless user experiences. Magic is building a unified, cross-chain network that will maximize efficiency and accessibility for developers and users alike.

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and deploy smart contracts that build out functionality and modules for our chain abstracted smart account using Solidity.
  • Establish frameworks, processes, and tools to ensure the security and reliability of smart contracts.
  • Conduct thorough testing to ensure the quality and security of the code
  • Optimize smart contracts for gas efficiency and performance
  • Work closely with engineers, designers, product managers and senior leadership to turn our product and technical vision into clear, actionable plans.
  • Collaborate with ecosystem partners to integrate and align our smart contract modules with broader industry standards and practices.

What we are looking for

  • Security-first mindset
  • Strong technical understanding of blockchain architecture and the EVM.
  • Proficiency in Solidity and smart contract security.
  • In-depth knowledge of account abstraction.
  • 4+ years of experience in building and deploying production-grade smart contracts.
  • Experience with the full lifecycle of smart contract development, from design to deployment, including conducting security audits.
  • Experience with layer 2 networks and cross-chain interoperability.
  • Deep understanding of smart contract best practices and current industry patterns
  • Advanced level of competency with the Foundry toolkit and static analysis
  • Experience with unit testing, integration testing, and test-driven development for smart contracts

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with smart wallets built on top of ERC-4337 and leveraging ERC-7579 modules.
  • Experience with front-end technologies like React and web3 libraries like viem and permissionless.js.
  • Active involvement in EIP discussions (and possibly having proposed your own).
  • Contributions to open-source projects.
  • Experience working in a rapidly growing company and collaborating effectively with remote teams.
  • Experience with Rust and the Solana/SVM ecosystem as well.
  • Experience with zero-knowledge technology
  • Experience with Formal Verification
