Founder (Web3, Ethereum, Blockchain, Vyper/Solidity/Rust/Go)
atBallast.finance
May 04
We are building a distributed, decentralized Web3/DeFi protocol that is democratizing access to finance. Marquee team, early capital locked in, but still bootstrapping.
We are looking for the right person to join as a founding member of the team. We’re a young startup, and we’re currently bootstrapping ourselves, although have some early commitments and partnerships in place. We need somebody who is comfortable in an agile environment. Competitive compensation on funding.
We’re looking for someone who has a solid understanding of Web3, can build and lead a team and is willing to take risks.
Can think creatively, communicate, and mobilize a team when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. You should be able to handle responsibility well, facilitating workflow between our product and design teams.
For this role we are planning to wait for the right application and take a slow recruitment approach, given the high stakes nature of onboarding a core team member.
