We invest and build in crypto, AI, robotics, and across new frontiers from the earliest stages, often when there’s no more than an idea. The companies in our portfolio are attacking an extraordinarily diverse set of problems, but they all have one thing in common - they're looking to add world-class talent to their teams. If you’re a software engineer interested in opportunities at the frontier of technology more broadly, but you don’t know where to start, we’d love to help identify roles within our portfolio that might be of interest to you. Please note: This posting is to learn more about opportunities across Paradigm’s portfolio, and is not for an internal position at Paradigm. When speaking with Paradigm’s talent team, we’ll seek to match your background, skill set and professional interests with companies and opportunities available within our portfolio. ## About Paradigm ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Paradigm is a technology investment firm that invests in and builds across frontier technologies including crypto, AI, and robotics. - **Entity Type**: Private (venture capital firm) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, CA, USA (with offices in New York City and Washington, DC) - **Founded**: 2018 - **Founders**: Matt Huang (Co-Founder & Managing Partner) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Venture Capital, Technology Investment, Blockchain/Crypto Infrastructure - **Target customers**: Founders and companies building at the technological frontier (crypto, AI, robotics); B2B for its portfolio companies - **Mission or purpose statement**: "We live on the frontier and believe in progress through technology." ## Products & Services For each major offering: - **[Investment & Incubation]**: Paradigm invests in founders at every stage (from first check through to public markets) across crypto, AI, robotics, and other frontiers. They also incubate new companies, such as Tempo (a payments network created with Stripe). - **[Open Source Software]**: Paradigm builds and contributes to a substantial portfolio of open source projects, including Foundry (Ethereum dev toolkit, 10.5k GitHub stars), Reth (Ethereum protocol implementation, 5.7k stars), Alloy, Viem, Wagmi, Cryo, and many others. - **[Research & Fellowship]**: Runs an annual Paradigm Fellowship and produces research papers, security evaluations (e.g., with OpenAI on EVMbench), and industry analysis. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (private investment firm). In 2021, Paradigm raised a $2.5 billion fund (its third), making it one of the largest crypto-focused venture funds at the time. - **Key Metric**: Over 130+ investments made since founding in 2018; manages billions in assets under management. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Stripe (co-incubated Tempo), OpenAI (collaborated on EVMbench), and a vast portfolio of crypto and frontier tech companies. - **Growth Signals**: Continued expansion into AI and robotics investments beyond crypto; incubation of Tempo with Stripe signals a push into payments infrastructure; active hiring across engineering, research, and operations roles. ## Competitive Advantages - **Depth of technical expertise**: Paradigm's team includes world-class researchers, engineers, and operators who actively ship open-source code (Foundry, Reth, Alloy) and publish research. They are "as likely to collaborate on a research paper or ship code" as to partner on strategy. - **Full-stack capability**: They invest, incubate, build open source software, provide policy/government affairs support, and offer operational assistance—giving them a uniquely hands-on approach for a venture firm. - **Network effect**: Their portfolio of 130+ companies and deep relationships with Stripe, OpenAI, and other major tech players creates a powerful ecosystem for founders and employees. - **Culture of building**: Many team members have built tools, protocols, and companies that are "some of the most used on the internet" (e.g., Ethereum, crypto infrastructure). ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Expanding investment beyond crypto into AI and robotics; incubating new companies (like Tempo); building open-source infrastructure for the next generation of decentralized and AI-powered applications; advancing policy and regulatory frameworks for frontier tech (active in Washington, DC). - **Growth direction**: Moving toward multi-frontier investing (crypto, AI, robotics) while deepening its technical capabilities through open source contributions and research. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Described as builder-first and deeply technical. The team values "depth as a prerequisite for invention" and being "close to the metal." They emphasize collaboration on research, code, and strategy. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: Has offices in San Francisco, NYC, and Washington, DC. The website lists opportunities across the US, suggesting a hybrid or office-first approach, though specific remote policy details are not publicly clear. - **Notable perks/engineering culture**: - Contributes to and maintains widely-used open source projects (Foundry, Reth, Viem, etc.) - Provides a fellowship program for emerging talent - Offers opportunities to work alongside top-tier researchers, engineers, and operators in a venture context - All roles (engineering, research, operations, legal, marketing, etc.) contribute to advancing frontier technology ## Sources 1.
