We’re excited if you...

Are a “show, don’t tell” kind of person and are able to continuously improve your craft via measurable analytical feedback. Prefer saying “let’s try it out!” instead of “it’s been done, and it doesn’t work”. Plan ahead and stay on top of things, but don’t get flustered if it doesn’t go as planned (predicting the future is hard, we tried it). Are curious, love to learn, and love to share your knowledge. Must have demonstrated interest in crypto although no professional experience in the area is required. Must be able to, and enjoy, working in a fast-paced environment with frequent interruptions, changing priorities, and context-switching.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is an individual contributor role with opportunity to grow into leadership roles as we scale. You will report to the CTO and build out our core infrastructure. The basic architecture is already set up, we need help building out and expanding our coverage of blockchains and various protocols. You will also have significant input on how the product will evolve. But please, leave your ego at the door (we have no doors, so you’ll have to be creative about it).

Culture

Besides building an amazing product, we also aim to create the company we’d love to work for, and it starts with defining our core values:

• Community - While we are fully remote, we are a tight-knit team. We help each other, grow together, and win together.
• Balance - Live your full life, be fulfilled at work, but not at your life’s expense.
• Ownership - Regardless of what you do, own your work and be proud to stand behind it.
• Have fun - Who says building a new financial world order needs to be a serious affair?
• The only thing serious is how awesome it is going to be.
• If you are nodding as you read this, we\'d like to hear from you!
