Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in project or program management, ideally in startups; proven track record of managing highly successful projects strongly preferred

- Be able to lead and mentor both junior and senior engineers
- Experience with modern infrastructure, have been working as an SWE/SRE engineer before moving into management
- Experience managing remote teams and strong experience coordinating across time zones. Our team is fully remote and highly distributed geographically, and so are our stakeholders
- Strong passion for blockchain, MachineFi, and the overall future of Web3. It will be hard to be successful in this role if you don't understand what we are doing and why
What the job involves
- You will help set the team objectives and make sure that the team is clear on what the objectives are and why
- You will provide leadership, management, and technical vision for the software engineering team
- You will work with engineers on their growth and development, making sure that everyone receives timely feedback and has a clear growth plan
- You will continuously remove blockers and obstacles, both internal and cross-functional so that everyone can do their best work
Our take
Advancements in data connectivity, robotics, AI and virtual reality have led to major changes to the world of work, with driverless cars able to autonomously carry passengers, security systems that can identify people in a crowd by sight and surgeons and skilled technicians able to carry out tasks at any distance. Deloitte estimates that 30% of the world's workforce will be replaced by machines in the next 20 years, which leads to the question - who owns these machines, their data, and their share of the emerging $12.6 trillion machine economy?
MachineFi Lab is an attempt to answer this question with "the people". By leveraging blockchain technology and applying it to the Internet of Things (IoT) space, it is creating an infrastructure suite which allows users to create apps and deploy devices on a decentralised machine network. By incentivising individuals and businesses to participate it provides a more efficient movement of data by bypassing centralised data stores and offers an extra layer of security to users, who remain in control of their information.
MachineFi's solution is already being used in some applications, for instance, some cameras as well as Pebble's supply chain management solution. It has attracted funding for its vision in a Series A funding round led by Samsung Next, which will be used to develop its platform and expand into new verticals, for instance in geolocation services. As IoT becomes an ever more present feature of life, infrastructural projects such as MachineFi may well prove key in helping to drive adoption and avoid some of the worst effects of centralised control of the industry.
