Events Manager Jobs at 0x Labs

COMPANY

0x Labs is a global Web3 technology company at the forefront of blockchain adoption. We build products on the 0x Protocol that help businesses eliminate the complexity of accessing decentralized markets across all layers of the Web3 exchange stack. By using 0x technology, businesses have more time to focus on what matters: their product.

Founded in 2017, 0x Labs envisions a world in which all forms of value are tokenized on public blockchains. This includes fiat currencies, stocks, bonds, commodities, debt instruments, real estate, video game items, digital collectibles, software licenses, reputation and much more. This “tokenized world” would be built on a global financial system more efficient, transparent, and equitable than any system that has existed in the past. The underlying exchange infrastructure powering this new system would be free to use and run on open source code, stripping away layers of middlemen and providing individuals with greater financial sovereignty.

PRODUCTS

0x Labs is the architect of 0x (pronounced “zero-ex”), the most trusted and widely-used Web3 exchange infrastructure. Built upon the open-source 0x Protocol, created by 0x Labs, 0x powers the exchange of tokenized value for a massive and growing ecosystem of leading applications unlocking easy access to multi-chain liquidity and improving markets for everyone. 0x Labs products include Matcha, the search engine for tokens; 0x API, supplying multi-chain liquidity aggregation and smart order routing as a service; and 0x Protocol, the open-source, global backbone for decentralized exchange.

0x currently supports 7 major blockchains: Ethereum, Polygon, Fantom, Avalanche, Optimism, BNB Chain, and Celo, and we plan to continue our multi-chain expansion to other popular chains, including non-EVM ones (i.e. non-Ethereum based blockchains). The 0x Ecosystem has been steadily growing with integrations across all of the top wallets and apps, including MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet and Coinbase NFT, Polygon Wallet, Brave, Matcha, dYdX, Zapper, Zerion, and Shapeshift. As of April ‘22, 0x has enabled over $158B in tokenized value to flow across 43M+ trades, and there are 3.5M+ users across all wallets and app integrations.

JOIN US IN OUR MISSION

Our mission is to build a tokenized world where all value can flow freely. We’re a mission-driven and diverse team composed of world class talent from Coinbase, Google, Meta, Bitso, Microsoft, Citi, Spotify and other top companies.

In joining us, you'll take part in transforming the way that value is exchanged on a global scale. We're passionate about open-source software and decentralized technology's potential to act as an equalizing force in the world, and our technology is deployed by a wide array of projects at the forefront of internet and economic advancement.

We’re a remote-first company with core contributors in nearly ten countries and over twice as many cities. Our headquarters is in San Francisco, with an office available for anyone on the team to use at any time. We’ll consider your application regardless of where you call home.
