Celestia is a remote first company. We do not require employees to live in specific timezones, but much of the team lives and works in the European and US timezones. As such, employees are expected to be available as needed for team and company events that are scheduled. Generally these are scheduled between 12pm-5pm UTC.

While experience in the blockchain space is preferred – having general excitement about web3 and modular blockchain technology is a must!
