About Us

Chorus One is one of the leading operators of infrastructure for Proof-of-Stake networks and decentralized protocols. Tens of thousands of retail customers and institutions are staking billions in assets through our infrastructure helping to secure protocols and earn rewards. Our mission is to increase freedom and speed of innovation through decentralized technologies. 

In addition to operating Proof-of-Stake infrastructure, we are deeply interested in the potential of the Urbit operating system as a better computing platform for the future. We are building an Urbit-focused team and this position will be in that team.

We are a erse team of around 50 people distributed all over the globe. We value radical transparency, striving for excellence and improvement while treating each other with kindness and generosity. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Role

Urbit represents a fundamentally new computing paradigm, where each user has their own personal server that hosts their applications and data. This promises users a deeper ownership over their computing stack, a better developer experience and seamless operating system integration for blockchain applications.

Given Urbit's radical departure from the conventional computing stack, Urbit also requires a fundamentally new approach to infrastructure. Chorus One's Urbit team will focus on exploring building and operating a scalable and secure infrastructure for the Urbit stack. As an early member of this team, you will be tasked with gaining a deep understanding of the Urbit kernel and operating system. You will develop technologies and architecture for scalable Urbit hosting. You will most likely contribute to open source codebases that could facilitate better Urbit hosting solutions.
