RTS is hiring a

Web3 Director of Brand Partnerships

We frame job descriptions at RTS as a set of problems we want to solve versus a set of requirements. We're a startup, which means we don't have all of the answers today, and like any startup, we don't know the final form of our business yet. Justin TV became Social Cam and then became Twitch - we will go through our own evolution. We do know that our business is going to be talent-focused and then defined by the products and projects we take on with our talent.

First and foremost, we want to hire people who empathize with the problems we want to solve and, secondly, are creative and talented enough to jump on board and try to solve them with us. If you are reading this, we hope that person is you! Below is the list of problems we would like to solve with you.
