Job Description:
About Agora Agora is a working towards a new paradigm for group
collaboration by creating the tools for communities work together
onchain. This is not yet-another-productivity-saas. We believe that
to enable the next era of collaboration, we need software that can
bend current and create new incentives. No amount of removing
friction will change how we work together if our reward functions
are misaligned. So to this end, Agora is working tirelessly on the
best end-to-end governance platform for crypto protocols - the
first instance of at scale onchain collaboration. Leading
communities like Optimism, ENS, Uniswap, Nouns, and more rely on
Agora to coordinate their community around critical protocol
upgrades, ecosystem funding, and steward their ecosystem for the
future. But that's not where we stop. Our goal is to build deep
collaboration tools for people who couldn't care less about crypto
so that one day (soon), your friends back home are using Agora
without ever knowing we're on Ethereum. What you'll do We're hiring
a backend-leaning fullstack engineer to work with our engineering
and in driving Agora's application development strategy and
implementation. This is a technical leadership position where you
will:
- Architect and develop complex systems and foundational
infrastructure components used by our engineering team
- Manage individual projects priorities, deadlines and
deliverables with your technical expertise
- Mentor and train other team members on design techniques and
coding standards What we are looking for We are looking for a
backend-leaning fullstack developer who has a passion for pushing
the boundaries of onchain governance and decentralized, collective
creation forward. We'd love to work with you if...
- You have a strong work ethic and care about making day by day
progress on what you're building, but can also reserve a part of
your brain untethered from the earth - thinking what's at the
boundary of the possible.
- You are familiar with how applications in crypto interface with
protocols. You don't need to be a solidity expert, but you've got a
long wallet history and have used and built many dapps.
- You care deeply about craft and quality - you're frustrated
that after all these years, most crypto applications are not even
close to their peers in web2.
- You are proud and passionate about Open Source. Bonus if you've
made contributions to projects.
- You love onchain governance like us :) What we offer
- Ownership - both in responsibility and equity. We're a small
team with high trust and expectations of each other. We want you to
own a sizable chunk of of the product and company, and structure
our compensation accordingly.
- Competitive benefits - in addition to good health and dental
benefits, we trust all employees with a no-limit company card and
equal access to our executive assistant to use however they see fit
to increase their productivity.
- A strong team - we're a small team that values experience,
character and integrity. You'll work with peers you respect, and
who respect you.
- A seat at the table - you will come to all off sites, and be
part of all strategic discussions. We're hiring for a technical
leader, and will treat you as such.
- A path to grow - our goal is to retain all early hires as
senior leaders as the company scales. We believe folks with the
best expertise and deep context should lead organizations, even if
they don't traditionally self-identify as people managers.
- Remote friendly, but PST or EST timezones preferred. How to
Apply Send an email to join@voteagora.com. Please include a link to
your Github profile.
