Company mission
To empower developers to build novel decentralized applications with the power of ZK.
Role
Who you are
- You are a first-principles business thinker able to think critically and make decisions in a new domain in the presence of ambiguity
- You are extremely detail oriented, have high operating standards, and pride yourself on delivering defect-free work
- You communicate clearly and are able to efficiently cover essential information in both written and verbal communications
- You know how to drive projects to completion while prioritizing and managing both internal and external stakeholders
- No experience in crypto or ZK is necessary, but a passion to work in a frontier tech domain is required
What the job involves
- We are hiring for a Chief of Staff to join the early team at Axiom
- We’re looking for a scrappy generalist who can work in‑person with us in New York City and partner directly with the CEO
- Your work will stretch across go-to-market, business development, and internal operations to drive excellence across the company
- Enabling strategic customer relationships, interfacing directly with founders and functional leads, and guiding pilots to paid contracts
- Building GTM collateral, including sales target lists, sales decks, and product announcements for our blog and Twitter account
- Maintaining finances, coordinating monthly reporting with external accountants, and streamlining invoicing and payments using tools like Ramp
- Overseeing general office management to keep our NYC office productive and welcoming
- Wearing multiple hats for initiatives across the company. This is a generalist role on a small team, and we expect everyone to pitch in across areas
- This is a rare opportunity to have a front row seat in the field of zero-knowledge cryptography, one of the most exciting areas of frontier technology today. If you thrive in an ambiguous, fast‑moving environment and want to build a category‑defining frontier tech company, we’d love to chat
Our take
Today, smart contracts on the blockchain suffer from a lack of readily available data. Reading and writing data is expensive, making it difficult to build applications that rely on large amounts of information. This forces developers to limit features and design contracts in restrictive ways.
Axiom offers a fresh approach, using Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography to provide smart contracts with richer data access at lower costs. Its flagship V2 release unlocks the entire Ethereum transaction history, meaning developers can seamlessly integrate past transactions, freely combine smart contracts, and add modular components without affecting existing functionality.
Backed by recent funding led by industry giants, Axiom is rapidly expanding its team and platform development. With a vision of enabling developers to build richer and more expressive on-chain applications, Axiom is poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of blockchain.
