Non Tech Jobs at DeSo Foundation

The DeSo Foundation is backed by Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Social Capital, TQ Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, PolyChain, Pantera, and many others. Our mission is to decentralize social media the same way Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralizing the financial system. Read more about our mission further below.

The role: We are looking for a motivated, outgoing and talented individual to help bring new founders, developers, and community builders into the DeSo ecosystem. We’ve already seen significant early traction with hundreds of developers already actively building on DeSo, and over 200+ apps launched to date.

Even with this early traction, there is an opportunity to spread awareness about the unique advantages of the DeSo blockchain for scaling decentralized social media (and other infinite state) applications. In this role, you will be one of the primary faces of DeSo, helping drive important narratives across the Web3 ecosystem, such as why social content belongs on a blockchain and why we need specialized blockchains #multichainfuture.

Your responsibilities: - Actively reach out to the top Web3 Founders/developers and articulate to them the benefits of building on top of the DeSo blockchain.  - Actively reach out to successful social media founders and explain the benefits of moving their communities/ social content to an open and distributed database. - Handle inbound requests from prospective founders and developers that are interested in DeSo. - Attend Web3/tech conferences, hackathons, and events to network and share updates on DeSo. -Connect with our investor network to provide updates on promising new projects and get connections to promising leads. - Work closely with our developer relations engineer to help make sure the documentation & resources we have for new developers is top notch. - Work closely with our Director, Octane Fund to highlight possible candidates for development grants and Octane Fund venture investments.

An ideal candidate will have the following:  - 5-7 years of experience in a business development or related role - Experience working in a hyper-growth startup environment - A proven track record of closing deals and partnerships in the tech industry - A strong understanding of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency - Bonus: A deep network of connections in the Web3 ecosystem  - Bonus: Prior experience working for a Web3 project (specifically a Layer 1 blockchain)

What we offer:  - An incredible view of the inner workings of a high-growth Layer-1 blockchain company. - Networking opportunities to some of the top investment firms in the world. - Top of the market competitive salaries, with the option to get paid in crypto. - Flexible and autonomous remote culture. We’re not very big on meetings and managers. - Quarterly offsites with the entire team, so far we’ve been to LA, Austin & NYC. - Healthcare stipends so you can get premium insurance. - A $25K referral bonus if you bring your most talented friends onboard.

About DeSo   Today, social media is even more centralized than the financial industry was prior to the creation of Bitcoin. A handful of private companies effectively control public discourse, and earn monopoly profits off of content that they don't even create. Meanwhile, the creators who actually produce this content are underpaid, under-engaged, and under-monetized thanks to an outdated ads-driven business model. In addition to all of this, the ads-driven business model prevents external developers from innovating or building apps on top of it, and gives users and creators no choice but to continue using apps that solely they control.  

We believe all of these problems can be solved by decentralizing social media in the same way Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralizing the financial system. If we can start putting social media content into a public blockchain we can create an economy of scale around that blockchain that is powerful enough to rival, and ultimately surpass, what the traditional social media giants have created.  

Enter DeSo, or "decentralized social."  

The future of crypto does not consist of a single general-purpose blockchain that rules them all, but rather a series of dominant, specialized blockchains, each tailored to a particular category of applications. DeSo represents a more than two-year effort to create a blockchain capable of decentralizing the social media category, and we believe it presents the first clear path to solving the existing problems that plague social media today.
