About the company
Protocol Labs drives breakthroughs in computing to push humanity forward. Protocol Labs is a product-development lab, but behind the protocols and tools we build, behind the research and implementations, are passionate people, teammates, and community members. Most teams in the Protocol Labs Network are fully distributed and work remotely around the world. Engineers, researchers, and operators work in the open to improve the internet — humanity's most important technology — as we explore new advances at the intersection of many exciting fields (web3, cryptography, networks, distributed systems) and cultures (startups, research, open-source, distributed work). We seek talented human catalysts with a passion for guiding teams to drive the technical, interpersonal, and organizational work that improves NFT.Storage. This involves the direct coordination of work and delivery, as well as the creation of scalable systems that improve the effectiveness and efficiency of this coordination in a fast-moving, high-growth, and distributed environment. NFT.Storage is quickly becoming a foundational piece of infrastructure for the NFT community. As the project converts into a DAO, we look for an early leader to help steward the product roadmap.
