Full-Stack Engineer

We are a group of curious and ambitious builders on a mission to make the global financial system more fair, transparent, and performant. We believe blockchains are the answer.

We are the core contributors behind the first layer-1 blockchain for programmable derivatives, Plaza (coming soon) - any tokenized asset on any chain can be transformed into a perfectly tailored risk-reward profile without sacrificing liquidity.

We are a venture-backed company based in NYC, and we’re looking to build out our core team.

We are focused on hiring the core team and senior talent to work together in person in NYC to build a collaborative and supportive culture. We’re open to hiring best-in-class remote talent anywhere within 6 hours of the NYC timezone.

Core team member responsibilities

1. Work to solve hard technical problems at the cutting edge of blockchain research alongside the founders

2. Be empowered to make bold technical and strategic decisions 

3. Play a critical role in determining the people we hire, our culture, our engineering practices, and the products we ship.

How we work

1. We value ambition, work ethic, and trajectory over prestige and accomplishments

2. We value thoughtful and contentious dialogue over siloed and unilateral decision-making

3. We value acknowledging uncertainty/weakness and seeking support over unabated confidence and solo performances

4. We’re obsessive about learning, doing right by people, and shipping as fast as possible
