Founding Engineer

Confidential Consumer Crypto / Social Gaming CompanyFull-Time · Remote

About the Company

We are building a new information protocol designed to surface high-signal insights through social consensus — helping people make better decisions and enabling the world to share a more accurate perception of reality.

Our first product, launched in mid-2024, is a fast-growing quiz/trivia experience that uses “wisdom of the crowd” mechanics to deliver collectively generated answers. Since launch, it has earned recognition across the ecosystem, winning multiple global hackathons and grants.

But this is just the beginning. Our long-term vision spans a suite of gamified consumer experiences that gather high-quality social data and feed it into a composable reputation graph and information infrastructure. Think playful products with deep technical underpinnings, designed for massive consumer scale.

We are a small founding team of builders from both web2 and web3 — curious, ambitious, relentless, and deeply convinced that crypto will fundamentally reshape the world. We’re building like it matters because it does.

About the Role

We’re hiring ourfirst senior engineer— a true founding team member who will work directly with the CTO to push the product forward, ship weekly, and meaningfully shape the next generation of our architecture, product direction, and engineering culture.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role. You’ll touch everything from distributed systems to on-chain integrations, from architecting new features to advancing the core protocol.

If you want to build fast, experiment boldly, and help define the future of information discovery, you’ll love it here.
