Operations 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, and our mission is to decentralize social media the same way Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralizing the financial system.

We are in need of someone with deep management experience to help scale and run the organization. Because this role is fairly broad, we believe a non-technical or semi-technical former startup founder would be the ideal fit for this role. That said, a product manager or current COO could be a good fit as well.

An ideal candidate has experience managing large teams of multi-functional employees and can help manage products as they blitzscale to 1B users.

The COO will handle all non-technical functions associated with DeSo, including:

• Setting strategy and direction for the entire organization
• Meeting and funding developers who are building on the DeSo blockchain
• Organizing PR around all noteworthy activities
• Organizing marketing campaigns
• Meeting with influencers and celebrities about the platform
• Talking to major DESO-holders, or people interested in purchasing DESO who want more information
• 1:1s with staff
• Managing payroll for DeSo Foundation staff

In the first 3 months, the COO can expect to onboard on all non-technical operations at DeSo.

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the creators who actually produce this content are underpaid, under-engaged, and under-monetized thanks to an outdated ads-driven business model.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.
