Will Work for Ethereum — February 2017

Exciting Ethereum companies are hiring. Explore some of the most interesting positions currently available in the industry.

Each month we highlight a few of our favorite Ethereum projects that are actively hiring. If you are looking to start a career building Dapps, check out the opportunities available at these companies.

FirstBlood

As a life-long gamer, I have been anxiously awaiting the chance to put FirstBlood’s platform to the test since the project was first announced. With their alpha release approaching, they are looking to fill out their team with a few key members who are looking to help shape the future of eSports.

FirstBlood is building a decentralized gaming app that allows players to compete head-to-head in games such as Dota 2, League of Legends, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. FirstBlood’s platform enables gamers to wager on the outcome of their matches without the need for a centralized service to guarantee fairness or payment. Initially focusing on 1-vs-1 contests, their service will grow to include team matches and tournaments. Users remain in complete control of their funds while competing on the platform and payouts occur automatically via some smart contract magic behind the scenes.

Around the office it’s all fun and games, and with a ton of great perks it’s easy to see why. FirstBlood offers team members full health insurance, gym membership, a flexible vacation policy, and gaming Fridays amongst other benefits.

The team is currently looking to hire top talent who is passionate about gaming and Ethereum for the following positions…

Ownage

Sticking with the gaming sector, Ownage is building an Ethereum based platform to distribute, collect, and trade digital game content. Ownage seeks to give gamers true ownership of their items, provide content creators with the freedom to sell any goods they wish on any platform, and to put an end to scams that have riddled places like Steam for years. In their own words…

Ownage is being developed as a steam-like platform for developers, content creators, virtual worlds, gamers and traders. It’s intended for content creators who wish to benefit from scarcity of issuance, e.g. limited edition content, new business models, and monetisation from trading marketplaces. We’re creating a completely open platform which is likely to be free to use at the blockchain level. Assets support the ethereum token standard and the platform contains a great deal of additional functionality. We’re also developing a suite of tools and SDKs for Ownage gamers and developers, including an app store/marketplace.

Currently in stealth mode, Ownage is looking to expand their team as they prepare their public alpha. If you are looking to join a small team of technologists who are using the power of Ethereum to revolutionize ownership of digital goods, Ownage may be the perfect place for you. They are hiring the following positions, remote applicants welcome…

Golem

Last but certainly not least, is the Golem Project. Representing one of the more ambitious Dapps presently under development, Golem aims to shake up the market for computing resources currently dominated by the likes of Amazon, Microsoft, and Google by changing the way computational tasks are organized and executed.

Golem is the world’s first open source, decentralized supercomputer. It’s comprised of the collective power of all contributing user’s machines, from Raspberry Pis to large-scale data centers. Accessible by anyone, Golem is creating a global market for computing capacity. Anyone will be able to purchase and utilize this power to execute just about any computational task possible, from integer factorization to stock market predictions to protein folding simulations.

The first use cases will be built and implemented by the Golem team, starting with CGI rendering. Longer-term the network will include an Application Registry and Transaction Framework, empowering developers around the world with a powerful toolset to deploy, distribute, and monetize software running on the network. These features have potential implications for the Ethereum ecosystem and Web 3.0 as a whole, as one could envision Golem evolving into a platform that powers multitudes of microservices and Dapps.

In joining Golem, you would be starting a career amongst an incredibly talented team of developers whose goal is to build the world’s most powerful, most accessible, and most decentralized supercomputer. Work at Golem is location agnostic, so feel free to apply for any of the following no matter where you reside if this sounds like the right fit for you…
