Operations Manager

About Us

We believe that cryptocurrencies and decentralized networks are radically new means of coordination. And that they will increase freedom for people and allow for a more creative, innovative and prosperous world.

We’ve been at the forefront of getting blockchains to being able to serve billions of people. We helped launch and operate many new Proof-of-Stake networks and help people actively participate and earn staking rewards. Today, around $100m worth of cryptoassets are staked with us in this way. In addition to that, we are also working on building bridges between cryptonetworks. So that we can go from siloed chains to a true internet of blockchains that can all interoperate.

We are a distributed team of around 10. We are a friendly, collaborative and focused place to work. We value transparency and everyone’s input on decisions. We love the autonomy of working whenever and wherever we want. But we also recognize the importance of coming together in person and do so every quarter for a week in team retreats around the world. (We’ve been to the US, South Korea, Egypt, Kenya and Serbia.)

Job description

In the last year, we have grown as an organization. There are more customers and revenues. More team members, lines of business and contracts to manage. Momentum is high and we expect to continue growing. But we haven’t built the systems to deal with increased complexity, information and decision making. We need to do this now. Because otherwise, as we grow more, the organization will become increasingly dysfunctional and inefficient.

• Document, improve and design core processes like hiring, onboarding, performance review, compensation review, offboarding
