Chief of Staff for Engineering About UsParity is one of the world's most experienced companies building the core infrastructure behind blockchain - the system that allows information and value to be shared securely without needing an intermediary. We're laying the foundation for a better web which respects the freedom and data of individuals, and empowers developers to build better, more trustworthy online services.

Our remote-first, global team develop open-source software that anyone can use or improve. This includes Polkadot (Use the "Apply for this Job" box below). Polkadot SDK  and Kusama  — key parts of the Web3 tech stack, the next generation of the internet.

Our mission is to make Polkadot the most active and innovative community in blockchain, powering a new era of connected and decentralised applications.

About the Team This role sits at the heart of Parity's leadership, working directly with our Founder to drive organisational alignment and execution across the company.

About the Role You will work directly with Gavin Wood, Parity's Founder. Your job is to take his vision, goals and ideas, and turn them into clear decisions, aligned teams, and forward momentum. You will think 12 to 24 months ahead, not just manage what is on fire today. You understand that the decisions made now impact the future, and you treat them accordingly.

You will be a key partner to Directors across the business, our CEO, and the primary bridge between Gavin's priorities and the Acceleration team's execution.

What You'll Do
* Operate as Founder's technical right hand. You will manage his context, his priorities, and his follow-through. You are available when it matters. You anticipate what he needs before he asks for it.
* Turn chaos into clarity. Parity moves fast. You will work in an environment of competing half-thoughts, ambiguous mandates, and shifting priorities. Your job is to impose structure without killing momentum, and to spot the counterproductive plays before they cause damage.
* Think long. You will not just solve today's problem. You will map the second- and third-order consequences of decisions being made now and make sure the right people are thinking about them.
* Lead cross-functional problem solving. When something falls between departments, you pick it up. You have the technical credibility to engage with engineering leadership and the operational instinct to get things moving.
* Own the leadership rhythm. OKRs, technical reviews, decision-making cadences, you design and run the operating system for Gavin's leadership team.
* Manage up, across, and down. You will work with C-Level and Directors across different Functions of the business. Each is different. You will adapt your communication style to each of them without losing your own voice.

Your Skills
* Technically credible. You have a background in engineering or engineering management. You can hold your own with a CTO, challenge timelines credibly, and evaluate the viability of new technical initiatives. You do not need to be a Blockchain Engineer, but you understand the ecosystem well enough to distinguish substance from hype.
* A sophisticated operator. You have run complex, cross-functional…
