Head of Sales Engineer

We believe that blockchains need real world data to be useful- and UMA enables any verifiable truth to be recorded on-chain, trustlessly.

Who is UMA?

We are a team aligned with the ethos of the crypto community. We believe that because UMA’s optimistic oracle is the decentralized truth machine which can verify any statement proposed on the blockchain- we have the ability to truly expand what web3 is building. We are building a robust ecosystem. Our growing team is relatively small but incredibly mighty, and strives to be an engaging leader in the DeFi community.

Where are we headed:

• We’re building foundational infrastructure for web3 and developing high quality products to showcase this.
• Our road-map is robust, and with an iterative and continuous development philosophy, we’re always building.
• We’re a global team that values diverse perspectives and top tier talent. We’re growing internationally with the support of top tier investors and advisors.

We’re looking for a Lead Sales Engineer to join our team. You will have the opportunity to lead a small agile team to drive UMA integrations and expand the mindshare of our oracle solution as the best solution for verifying truth on-chain.

• Improve developer experience constantly: help translate partner & developer feedback into product requirements
