Principal Engineering Design

Uniswap Labs builds products that help millions of people access DeFi simply and securely ‒ from the Uniswap Web App and Wallet to crypto infrastructure like the Uniswap Trading API, and Unichain. Uniswap Labs also contributes to the development of the Uniswap Protocol, which has processed over $2.9 trillion in volume across thousands of tokens on Ethereum and 12+ other chains.
As Engineering Manager for the Protocols team, you’ll guide the engineers who design, build, and harden the smart-contract systems that power Uniswap V4, UniswapX and beyond.
People Leadership : Hire, coach, and grow a diverse team of world-class smart-contract engineers while fostering a security-first, inclusive, high-performance culture. Technical Direction : Own the architecture and roadmap for Uniswap’s Solidity-based protocol (hooks, cross-chain deployments, governance upgrades) and champion best practices in gas optimization, modular design, and upgrade-safe patterns.
Project Execution : Translate product and research goals into executable engineering plans, then prioritize and track work to hit aggressive but realistic milestones across multiple chains.
Partner with Product, Legal, Security, Design, and Community teams to ship features that delight users while protecting billions in TVL.
8+ years total software engineering experience, including 3+ years building production EVM smart-contract systems in Solidity (or low-level languages like Huff/Yul) and 2+ years managing engineers.

  • Proven track record shipping contracts that have held significant TVL and zero critical exploits.
  • Deep knowledge of the EVM and DeFi mechanics (AMMs, oracles, bridges).
  • Hands-on experience leading smart contract security efforts including external security audits, formal verification, static analysis etc.
  • S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent real-world experience.

Familiarity with L2s, cross-chain messaging, account abstraction (ERC-4337), or zero-knowledge proofs.
