Operations Associate - Livepeer Crypto Network + Community
Livepeer’s mission is to build the world’s open video infrastructure to enable instantly scalable, reliable, and affordable video streaming. Today, companies across all industries, ranging from media to robotics to home security are increasingly using video. However, it’s operationally expensive to build, and prohibitively expensive to outsource.
Livepeer is an open source p2p network that enables anyone to run instantly scalable video infrastructure while saving over 10x in cost compared to existing infrastructure providers. We use this network to help video services companies meet their infrastructure scalability and cost challenges.
Livepeer consists of a team of experienced video engineers, blockchain researchers, and proven business operators. We are fortunate to be backed by some of the best investors in the world (Northzone, Notation Capital, Collaborative Fund, DCG, Pantera, Multicoin, CoinFund, and more)
Livepeer is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer that is committed to inclusion and diversity. We are committed to provide a community and environment for mutual respect, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law. We believe diversity and inclusion are crucial to our success and seek to recruit/develop from a diverse candidate pool.
