Remote, Global, Office of the CTO, Full Time
Our mission is to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making Web3 universally easy to use, access, and build on.
Working with ConsenSys puts you at the forefront of an evolving paradigm, transforming our society for the better. We fundamentally believe blockchain is the next generation of technology that can lay the foundation for a more just and equitable society.
Blockchain tech is just over 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler and weâre far from reaching our full potential. Youâll get to work on the tools, infrastructure, and apps that scale these platforms to billions of users.
Youâll be constantly exposed to new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers, and as you work on different projects â challenging you to stay at the top of your game. Youâll join a network of entrepreneurs and technologists that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. ConsenSys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies.

We've got a great team of people who get to work across the organisation to find ways to get the best impact. We value independent flexible thinking people who can work together with others to help ConsenSys build the software that powers Ethereum.
