Our Vision: Machines Will Be Our Future Workforce

At MachineFi Lab, we're not just envisioning the future; we're actively building it—today. We power the new reward economy by fostering a fairer, safer, and more rewarding Internet of Things (IoT). Central to our mission is the concept of Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), a paradigm shift leveraging blockchain technology for capital formation and human coordination on a global scale. By enabling contributions to real-world infrastructure — spanning wireless, mobility, compute, energy, storage, and beyond — we empower individuals to invest in and shape the foundation of our future society. Leveraging our cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure, a robust suite of DePIN Modules, and expertise in crafting blockchain-integrated devices, MachineFi stands at the forefront of the DePIN revolution.
Are you a maverick? A digital renegade? Are you someone who challenges the status quo, believing, against all odds, that you can change the world? If so, MachineFi is for you. Join us, and be part of the movement shaping the infrastructure of tomorrow.


As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for the team’s productivity, happiness, and growth. You will be setting and overseeing the team’s goals with the technical lead and contributing to the overall infrastructure strategy. In addition, we would expect you to have prior experience with decentralized systems, blockchain, Golang, cloud infrastructure, and Kubernetes.

WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE:
·      You will help set the team objectives and make sure that the team is clear on what the objectives are and why
·      You will provide leadership, management, and technical vision for the software engineering team.
·      You will work with engineers on their growth and development, making sure that everyone receives timely feedback
and has a clear growth plan
·      You will continuously remove blockers and obstacles, both internal and cross functional so that everyone can do
their best work
 
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL:
·      5+ years of experience in project or program management, ideally in startups; proven track record of managing highly
successful projects strongly preferred
·      2+ years of experience leading or managing SWE/SRE teams and 5+ years of engineering experience overall
·      Be able to lead and mentor both junior and senior engineers
·      Experience with modern infrastructure, have been working as an SWE/SRE engineer before moving into management
·      Experience managing remote teams and strong experience coordinating across time zones. Our team is fully remote
and highly distributed geographically, and so are our stakeholders
·      Strong passion for blockchain, MachineFi, and the overall future of Web3. It will be hard to be successful in this role if
you don't understand what we are doing and why.
