A bit about us:
Unique blockchain assets ("NFTs") have grown in popularity rapidly over the past few months. These unique assets allow people to own anything from in-game items to digital art to music and financial instruments.
However, they are highly illiquid: transactions take minutes or hours to confirm, and Ethereum can process fewer than 5 NFTs per second for the whole world combined. To solve this problem for ourselves and for others, we have built Immutable X, a next-generation protocol for trading blockchain assets with instant trade confirmation, massive scalability, and no gas fees without compromising user custody. The goal of Immutable X is to help businesses scale their creation and trading of these unique assets (“NFTs”).
We are searching for a Head of Ethereum Research to ensure we remain at the forefront of the NFT ecosystem. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in helping shape our product and engineering roadmap for everything blockchain-related, across both our games and our platform.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Take responsibility for designing solutions that will become industry standards
- Partner with the top scaling companies in the Ethereum ecosystem
- Drive blockchain product decisions and map a long term strategy for Immutable in the ecosystem
- Be an advocate for decentralization and user custody internally
- Create tools to help yourself and others build better blockchain products
- Validate blockchain-related technical decisions
- Conduct internal training and education on blockchain practices and processes
- Ensure Immutable remains at the cutting edge of blockchain & NFT technology
We would love you to have:
- Prior experience in a professional capacity in Ethereum and the blockchain ecosystem
- A Product background and ability to effectively prioritise features and offerings
- A deep understanding of the crypto ecosystem and Twittersphere
- Exceptional blockchain-literacy
