Here are some of the perks of being part of a unique organization like ConsenSys:
- The forefront of a revolution. At ConsenSys we
fundamentally believe that a next generation of technologies presents
the opportunity to create a more just and equitable society.
- A dynamic startup environment. ConsenSys is a
thought leader in the blockchain space and we are absorbing a
significant portion of the mindshare. This is both exciting and
challenging, as we learn to scale our organization while adhering to the
principles of decentralization.
- Continuous learning. You’ll be constantly exposed
to new languages, frameworks and ideas from your peers and as you work
on different projects -- challenging you to stay at the top of your
game.
- Deep technical challenges. This entire ecosystem is
about 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler. There is much
work to be done before these platforms can scale to the order of
millions or billions of users. ConsenSys is building the technology
platforms that can get us to those next thresholds of scale.
