We're a passionate, intelligent and empathetic globally dispersed team, united by a love for innovation and a commitment to shaping the future of blockchain technology—one ground-breaking solution at a time.
Who You Are:
• You’re optimistic. You’ve got positive energy and see opportunities where others see problems.
• You’re a lifelong learner. You’re eager to dive deep into emerging technologies, from Ethereum Rollups to decentralised finance, and you thrive on mastering new concepts.
• You’re a team player. You believe in the power of collaboration and are ready to push boundaries with a group of like-minded innovators. You welcome the challenge of stepping out of your comfort zone to achieve something great.
• You’re high agency. You believe in your ability to impact outcomes and take proactive steps to make things happen. Instead of waiting for instructions or letting obstacles deter you, you create solutions and drive projects forward with determination and resourcefulness.
• You’re courageous. In a rapidly changing industry like ours, you’re not afraid to voice your ideas, and challenge the status quo. You have the confidence to tackle difficult problems and the resilience to see them through.
• You steer clear of performative crypto trends. You’re mission-driven, focused on substance and prefer actions that drive real results over following popular narratives.
