Impactful opportunity to bring Web3 / Ethereum to Emerging Markets
Pros
- Super interesting work at the cutting edge of web3 - Awesome opportunity to work within the Ethereum / Optimism ecosystems - Company focuses on real world blockchain use cases that can make a huge impact in the underserved markets that they focus on in Africa and South East Asia (eg bringing DeFi to unbanked populations in Sub Saharan Africa) - Company works with some of the best and most well-known partners / protocols in the crypto ecosystem - Company is growing very fast and has some very ambitious but also achievable targets, and believes it can be the port of call for blockchain developers / founders in EMs - Very humble, nice and low ego team with a flat hierarchy. Genuine feeling that everyone is working together and all ideas are welcome and encouraged from everyone. Many are figuring things out for the first time and everyone is helpful / ecnouraging in thinking things through - Awesome travel opportunities in Africa and South Asia and other global conferences - Work from anaywhere as long as can cover core European (CET) hours - Respectful work-life balance and decent pay
Cons
- The fact the team is quite spread out geographically can make it harder to build internal relationships over video calls (one con of fully remote work). However, there are opportunities to meet team members in person at conferences and company organised meet-ups / events in cool locations (last company retreat was in Morocco) - L2s are a very competitive space and the company is still very much building up mindshare in the crypto community - There aren't many notable benefits / perks relative to other companies in this space
