Head of Data

Remote, Global, Office of the CTO, Full Time

Our mission is to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making Web3 universally easy to use, access, and build on.

Working with ConsenSys puts you at the forefront of an evolving paradigm, transforming our society for the better. We fundamentally believe blockchain is the next generation of technology that can lay the foundation for a more just and equitable society.

Blockchain tech is just over 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler and we're far from reaching our full potential. You'll get to work on the tools, infrastructure, and apps that scale these platforms to billions of users.

You'll be constantly exposed to new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers, and as you work on different projects — challenging you to stay at the top of your game. You'll join a network of entrepreneurs and technologists that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. ConsenSys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies.

About The Office of the CTO

The Office of the CTO engages in activities to help the whole of ConsenSys. We help build out infrastructure to support innovation, incubate projects, and identify problems that ConsenSys is uniquely positioned to solve. We've got a great team of people who get to work across the organisation to find ways to get the best impact. We value independent flexible thinking people who can work together with others to help ConsenSys build the software that powers Ethereum.
