Vice President of Engineering

If Bitcoin formed the internet of money, NFTs form the internet of value. Everything of value in the physical world will be represented in the digital world in the form of a token - all physical value can be tokenized. The growing NFT industry, which sales in 2021 exceeded $2.5B, needs infrastructure to support its growth and we intend to build services and important infrastructure for this fast-growing ecosystem.

We believe that NFTs will become the standard for digital assets such as art, music, in-game items, items in online games, as well as items in the eventual metaverse. And, over time, we believe this will only grow, and NFTs will play a central role in how fans support their favorite creators and communities.

Our team is rapidly growing and aims to build the largest creator economy on the internet, powered by independent creators, digital goods, and NFTs. We are bringing billions of people to millions of creators. We are looking for strong individuals and leaders to help us seed the team, set its strategy, and build for the future.
