Software Engineer - Early Career

Uniswap Labs is a core contributor to the Uniswap Protocol, the world's largest DEX, with over $4 trillion in volume across 17 chains. It builds products that help millions access the protocol, including the Uniswap Web App, Wallet, and Trading API. Uniswap Labs is also the primary technical provider for Unichain, a DeFi-native Ethereum Layer 2 built to be the home for liquidity across chains.

When you join Uniswap, you become part of a team that's reshaping the way value flows on the internet.

We're hiring our first new-grad engineering cohort. Almost nobody in crypto hires and develops early-career engineers in a structured way — we're going to. You'll join one of our engineering pods, ship production code in your first weeks, and be paired with a dedicated senior engineer who owns your growth. We shape engineers full-stack from the start: you won't be boxed into one layer of the stack, and where you land long-term will follow your strengths.

What you'll do

• Ship well-tested production code used by millions — across web, backend services, infrastructure, and (if it's your thing) smart contracts

• Work side-by-side with your assigned senior mentor and pod: pairing, code review, and real ownership rather than a training track

• Move across parts of the stack as you grow — we care that you learn to build complete products, not just components

• Work in person with the team at our NYC headquarters, 5 days a week

What we look for

• A degree in Computer Science or a related field completed (or completing) between December 2024 and September 2026

• Evidence that you build: internships, shipped side projects, open-source contributions, hackathon results — include links (GitHub, live apps, write-ups)

• Strong CS fundamentals and the ability to pick up new languages and systems quickly

• Genuine excitement about crypto and DeFi — no prior crypto experience required

• Able to work from our New York office 5 days per week

Nice to have

• Anything you've built on or around crypto — a contract, a bot, a dashboard, a hackathon project

• Depth in whatever tools you build with — we don't screen for a specific language or framework, and we'd rather see one thing you've built deeply than a keyword list

• Competitive programming, CTFs, research, or open-source work

• Love for unicorns :)
