What the job involves
- We are a protocol for automatically provisioning application-specific blockchains in the multiverse
- We are rearchitecting developer and end-user interactions with blockchains
- Using shared security, innovations in validator orchestration, and an automated CI/CD deployment pipeline standardized across apps in single-tenant VMs, Saga makes launching a dedicated blockchain, or chainlet, as easy as deploying a smart contract
- Saga's initial focus will be on gaming and entertainment chains
- As the metaverse expands, performance requirements and end-user expectations are climbing higher and higher, and crypto-based applications must deliver
- Our vision is ambitious, and we need the smartest and most determined talent to join us on our journey
- We are a world-class team of veteran web3 entrepreneurs and builders from Ignite (Tendermint), Apple, Twitter, NVIDIA, and Skuchain, and we're looking to grow
- We offer a flexible, remote working environment
- You can expect a warm welcome from a friendly and international team that will support you in your personal and professional growth
- This is an exciting opportunity to take an active part in the blockchain space and contribute to the decentralization of the future
- Collaborate with partners to understand their business models, assess their needs, and propose solutions
- Support partners through the whole Saga lifecycle – sales call support, solutions, troubleshooting, timelines, and partner releases
- Maintain expertise of Saga technology with hands-on design and development experience, such as designing common use cases and proof of concept development
- Work cross-functionally with the product team and engineering team for valuable usability feedback and to keep apprised of features and functionality
- Continue to learn broadly how businesses are using web3
Our take
Saga is a recent addition to the growing blockchain technology startup scene. Its protocol allows users to automatically launch single tenant VMs onto a dedicated blockchain that comes furnished with validators and security structures.
As the sophistication of blockchain technology develops in leaps and bounds, it's hosting an increasing number of projects. The problem is, using overburdened blockchains can result in prohibitively high gas fees and transaction times, resulting in lower throughput and performance.
The opportunity to host projects on unique, lightweight blockchains offers greater flexibility for upgrades and adaptations - which, as more projects move onto Web3, is likely to prove enticing. Saga is in its early days, having received seed funding in 2021 through 2022, but in theory stands to make an exciting and fertile contribution to a flourishing tech space.
