Vana is hiring a

Senior Software Engineer - Web3

What we do

Our mission at Vana is to shift the flow of data for a more prosperous world. We are a 10-person team started out of MIT building a new data economy.

The problem

Today’s data economy works like a serfdom. The value of user data is captured by large tech monopolies rather than by the individuals who created the data. Individuals know their data is being stolen but do not know what to do about it. At the same time, it is difficult for any company other than a large tech monopoly to apply machine learning as they don’t have access to the right data, which is usually siloed in the platform where it is generated. This leads to compounding wealth inequality as our economy has not been designed to accommodate the strange exponentials of data.

We’re building tools to fix this. Our data wallet helps users own and multiply their predictive value. Users securely export personal data from siloed tech platforms, earn interest on their data capital, and access the future value of their data. They decide what parts of their digital self to share, who to share it with, and how much they want for it. Our enterprise customers, from Fortune 500 fashion companies to health tech startups, rent data directly from consumers to make behavioral predictions, creating new value while directly paying the users that created the data.

The opportunity

We are building a world-class founding team. As one of our early Vana engineers, you’ll help drive our technical decisions and influence our product direction for years to come, with the goal of empowering individual freedom through tools for data ownership.

Example responsibilities

• Work closely with our cofounders and head of engineering on our technical roadmap for all web3-related work

• Keep up with developments in web3 as opportunities for new integrations or protocols to build on or bridge to
• Collaborate with other engineers via code reviews to level up yourself and others, to improve your ability to provide effective feedback, and to achieve higher quality code

To build technology and products that are used and loved by people and solve real-world problems, we need to build a team with many different perspectives and experiences. We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We want to know your unique story and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
