Why are we awesome you ask?

We are truly at the forefront of the crypto ecosystem as maintainers of the infrastructure layer of blockchain networks! We practice the crypto team mentality by assembling a truly global and diverse team.

We collectively represent more than 12 different countries and are united in a single mission: building out the future of decentralization. Crypto is here to stay, having introduced novel ideas such as DeFi, NFTs and DAOs. At the core of all this are teams like us working relentlessly to build the necessary tools and applications that help run and secure blockchains.

Here are some other reasons you should join us:

• We have employees from over 10 countries across the globe, and you will be able to meet interesting people from different backgrounds and cultures. Distributed and remote work is baked into our culture.
• We are one of the top staking service providers with over $3B of assets staked across our validators. We actively explore and develop new products related to staking. You will work on high-impact engineering projects building exciting new products in a startup environment.
• We have a capable and passionate team. You will find teammates who are power DeFi users, intense NFT collectors, Bitcoin & Ethereum knowledge nerds, etc. You can learn and debate everything on crypto with our teammates.
• We are not backed by VC funding, and we are already profitable. Our financial independence means that we can make decisions independent of VCs, and we prioritize our ideals of decentralization, user sovereignty, and user privacy over simply making a profit. It also means that, unlike most other startups, stakefish can provide you with a stable low-risk employment opportunity without fundraising concerns.
