Rust Engineer

Posted 6 days ago

PropellerHeads are one of the key teams building blockchain (Ethereum) infrastructure to ensure anyone can directly access decentralized finance – without middleman or technical barriers. So that soon anyone with an internet connection can trade any asset on equal terms with the largest and most sophisticated.

We've worked together for 8 years, bootstrapping first in AI – building machine learning products for Biotech – and now in crypto with backing from over 80 VCs and Angels (lead by General Catalyst and Delphi Digital).

We're a small, highly dedicated, and warm team – and have a lot of experience teaching junior engineers with a lot of opportunity to grow in responsibility.
