  • Strong understanding of decentralised technologies, including Layer 1/Layer 2 protocols, smart contracts, and wallet infrastructure.
  • Solid track record of scaling platforms used by global user bases, with a strong focus on security and user experience.
  • Deep technical proficiency in modern programming languages and blockchain frameworks.
  • Strong leadership ethos centred around empowering teams and encouraging innovation.
  • Familiarity with open-source ecosystems and developer communities is a bonus.

  • A mission-driven company that values autonomy, trust, and impact.
  • Remote-first working model with flexible arrangements.
  • Competitive compensation package and equity options.
  • The chance to influence the decentralised economy and build truly user-owned infrastructure.
