At Mirana Labs, our mission is to amplify the work being done to create unstoppable and permissionless financial transactions on the blockchain, including trading, lending, and creation of synthetic assets. We believe that decentralised finance (DeFi) technology will be majorly disruptive to traditional finance with no signup process, no middlemen approvals, no middleman execution. DeFi is likely to become a trillion dollar sector.
In joining us, you'll take part in transforming the way the financial infrastructure is developed, composed, and fortified. Founded in 2021, Mirana Labs has been established as a privately funded R&D center to develop BitDAO core protocols: governance and treasury management innovations to be used by DAOs.
Mirana will also build DeFi products, support ecosystem partners, incubate emerging DeFi projects, and support founders. Within two years Mirana Labs aims to recruit 100-200 people. Roles include: smart contract engineers, front end engineers, full stack engineers, dev ops, defi product managers, defi marketing and community managers, and various operations support roles.
We’re a remote-first company and will consider your application regardless of where you call home.
Mirana Labs is part of the Mirana organization which participates in venture, incubation, asset management and algorithmic trading. We are privately funded with a mandate and budget to recruit the industry's top talent.
YOUR ROLE AS AN ENGINEERING LEAD AT Mirana Labs
As an Engineering Lead at Mirana Labs, you’ll report to one of our partners and lead 5-10 of the industry’s most talented engineers, tasked with ensuring that BitDAO remains the standard for decentralized organization, governance, and capital formation. You will be tasked to ensure the core governance suite remains flexible, and future-proof as decentralized financial markets begin to compete with traditional financial markets on a global scale. You'll oversee our core Governance team, responsible for providing the best possible development and decentralized execution practices built for the world’s leading DeFi protocols, DAOs, primitives, and crypto native institutions.
We hope the governance solutions we produce for BitDAO can be leveraged by the crypto community and future DAOs.
You will be responsible for managing team members from within Mirana and those that contribute directly from BitDAO itself. You will also be expected to help in hiring the best talent who have demonstrated their skills in open-source development.
