Engineer, Full Stack

Come change the world (for real).

We believe that user-ownership is going to play a big part in the future of internet commerce. It's a future where suppliers, creators, workers, & freelancers own more of the upside of the value they create & pay less to intermediaries.

The problem? Today, anyone building real-world applications with web3 tech faces unworkable blockchains with high transaction fees, arcane architectural decisions, lots of jargon, compliance headaches, and limited access to high cost developers — that's all before needing a PHD in tokenomics to make it work.

Say 👋 to Village. We’re building some of the world's most sophisticated and user-friendly L1 blockchain infra & protocols to enable founders & existing businesses to easily unlock the power of web3 technologies and use them in the real world. Making this powerful tech accessible to anyone is going to shape how people buy and sell goods and services on the internet for years to come.

Our founding team has built SaaS, crypto, eCommerce and marketplace companies, and is backed by some of the world’s top crypto & venture investors.

Come join us — we need the best builders in the world to come show us what's possible.

About the Role

You will be one of the first five employees at a mission-driven and fast-growing startup. You are ambitious and hard-working, but you (like us!) also believe in putting people first and having a huge amount of fun while you do your job 😁 .  

You are a self-starter and fast learner, capable of writing high-quality code. Even if you aren’t familiar with a particular framework yet, you’re excited to jump in and learn how to start building & shipping! 

You are autonomous and are excited about taking on big, ambiguous problem spaces. You believe in the power of blockchain and Village’s mission to build a user-owned economy, but you also maintain a healthy skepticism of only building web3 for web3’s sake alone.

(❤️) As one of the first five employees, you’ll be integral to the long-term culture of Village and future employees will rely on you as a role model.
