• Passionate about technology, with an interest to learn new engineering trends and tools and evangelize with the broader team
• You’ve got positive energy. You’re optimistic about the future and determined to get there
• You’re never tired of learning. You want to be a pro in bleeding edge tech like DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and Web 3.0
