What is Phantom?

Phantom is a software company founded in 2021 that builds a self-custodial crypto wallet and modern money app for mainstream users. The company is best known for making crypto easier to use through a simple multichain wallet experience that supports trading, payments, collectibles, and broader on-chain activity. Its public materials describe Phantom as a product-led team focused on safety, usability, and mass adoption, with a mission to make money easier to use, safer to control, and more accessible to everyone. Phantom operates as a fully remote company with a globally distributed team and has grown into one of the better-known consumer crypto products, serving millions of users while continuing to expand its product, engineering, design, growth, and operations teams.

Mission & values

Build the leading non-custodial crypto wallet for Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other chains — power 15M+ users' on-chain interactions with simple, multi-chain, NFT- and DeFi-ready software.

Qualifications

Qualifications depend on the role, but Phantom generally looks for strong builders who can thrive in a fast-moving product environment. For engineering, design, product, growth, and marketing roles, useful experience includes shipping consumer software, working across complex systems, and making technical products intuitive for everyday users. The company highlights remote collaboration, high ownership, and the ability to move quickly across time zones as important working traits. For candidates interested in joining Phantom, familiarity with crypto, wallets, financial products, or Web3 can be valuable depending on the role, though strong product thinking, technical depth, and user-first execution are likely just as important. Because Phantom is fully remote, clear communication, autonomy, and comfort working in a distributed team are essential.
