We’re excited if you…

• Are a “show, don’t tell” kind of person and are able to continuously improve your craft via measurable analytical feedback.
• Prefer saying “let’s try it out!” instead of “it’s been done, and it doesn’t work”.
• Plan ahead and stay on top of things, but don’t get flustered if it doesn’t go as planned (predicting the future is hard, we tried it).
• Are curious, love to learn, and love to share your knowledge.
• Must have demonstrated interest in crypto although no professional experience in the area is required.
• Must be able to, and enjoy, working in a fast-paced environment with frequent interruptions, changing priorities, and context-switching
