About Argent
We believe that the future of money and the internet should be more open and fair. That everybody with internet should have equal access to economic opportunities, and that this brave new future is possible. It can be realised through crypto.
That's why we started Argent: the world's most simple and secure smart wallet. It puts the power of crypto into the hands of anyone with a phone. Empowering you to control and prosper from your digital assets and identity.
Store, save and send; borrow, earn interest and invest. No-nonsense and non-custodial. Combining beautiful design and bulletproof security. Without borders or boundaries.
We launched in 2018 and are fortunate to be backed by Silicon Valley and Europe's top investors, including Paradigm, Index Ventures, Creandum and firstminute capital.
We're looking for an experienced Solidity engineer to help us bring Ethereum to millions more people with our Layer 2 launch. Our L2 wallet will be smooth, secure and have radically lower gas - all while keeping the unique experience Argent is known for.
We're aiming for a breakthrough in the global adoption of crypto.
- On Layer 1, you'll help us integrate more Defi protocols to the existing Argent Vault which combines multisig security with one tap DeFi and protects over $1bn in assets.
- On Layer 2, you'll help us bring our unique smart-contract model to key rollups. We're starting on zkSync but will expand to other L2s, such as Optimism, Starkware and Arbitrum afterwards.
For both initiatives you'll take ownership of the entire smart contract development lifecycle, including managing relations with partners and deploying the contracts to our test and production environments.
