About the Job

What is Stargate?

Stargate is a platform designed to make it possible for any individual, application, or business to earn interest on crypto without being limited to specific blockchains or DeFi applications. We are simplifying crypto by using cutting edge interoperability solutions and new DeFi building blocks so more people can participate in the Web3 transformation.

There are three main components to Stargate:

1. Stargate API: An API that any application can use to deposit and withdraw into yield on any chain from any chain
2. Stargate Protocol: The decentralized curation layer that governs the submission of opportunities and routes transactions across chains
3. Stargate dApp: The UX layer that allows you to access the yield opportunities curated by the protocol

About Us

We are a small team of crypto native builders, traders, and designers looking to bridge the gap between the current state of crypto and mass adoption.

We were raised on Runescape and crypto mining in our parents’ basement. We’ve ridden the waves of the volatile crypto market cycles. We’re deeply dedicated and fanatically obsessed with onboarding the next wave of crypto users into the wonderful and wild world of Web 3.

We want people of all different backgrounds, expertises, and cultures to come work with us - The only pre-requisite is that you want to build something amazing.

We’ve raised ~$1.6M in our angel round. No VCs, only builders and frens.
