We’re a tight-knit international team based in Berlin. We’re always
building and shipping, but with an appreciation for the theoretical. We
work closely with our users, technology partners, and engage with the
global decentralization community on and offline.
From our very beginnings having a female cofounder: we are an equal
opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We strongly
encourage applications from women, transgender or non-binary people,
people of color, people with disabilities, or anyone traditionally
underrepresented in tech.
Location: We’re in Berlin, Germany. If you don’t know much about
Berlin, don’t fret. Almost all of us have immigrated here, from all over
the world, from Canada to India, from Italy to USA. And we love it!
Office time: We trust you to do your job, and doing your job is about
getting the task done, not us looking over your shoulder. In general we
try to be around the office here in Berlin but as with our technology,
our team is often distributed and our processes are optimized so work
can get done in a mix of on-site and remote work. If you feel you’re
most effective working from a top of a mountain, please do.
Choice of tech: We provide you with either a top-notch Dell or
MacBook Pro laptop, and with everything else you need and chose to get
your work done.
Immigration: We’ll hold your hand in the visa / immigration process, which is smooth and surprisingly fast.
Language: We speak English in the office. And in fact if you only
speak English, you can easily get by in Berlin. (As is the case for many
of our employees.)
Transit: We’re spoiled, Berlin has one of the best public transit
systems in the world. Our office is near a connection point of the
underground (U-bahn) and trams. Berlin also has safe bike lines all
throughout the city; you can park your bike in the office. We offer to
reimburse half of you annual public transport ticket.
Time off: Health first. Without health and happiness, what is left?
So, our minimum paid leave per year is 25 days, plus statutory national
holidays.
Health Benefits: Germany has one of the best healthcare systems in
the world. Some of the nation’s top university hospitals are here in
Berlin. Many of us have a family doctor just down the street from our
office. Berlin is also great for sports.
Parenting, Parental Leave: We love kids! And we recognize the time
that parents need for their children’s’ well-being, not to mention their
own well-being! So we want to give all the space in the world to new
parents who wish to spend time with their children: mothers get fully
paid maternity leave six weeks prior to birth and eight weeks after. In
addition, there are 14 months of 2/3 paid leave, split between the
parents according to the parents’ choice. And for general parental
responsibilities that invariably come up, by all means, go attend to
your child. We trust that you are a professional and know how to balance
your time.
Professional and Personal Growth: Ocean Protocol is at the epicenter
of blockchains + big data + AI, so if you’re not learning, then
something’s wrong! We’ll be giving you opportunities to represent us
speaking at conferences, hosting hackathons, writing, and more. Finally,
we give you an annual self-development budget that you choose as you
wish to spend on books, personal conferences, and other things to grow
yourself.
