Senior Protocol Engineer - Remote

Saga's mission is to give developers what they need to build the next 1000 chains in the multichain metaverse, or multiverse. 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 bolthires/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 engineers to join us on our journey. We are a world-class team of veteran web3 entrepreneurs and builders from Ignite (Tendermint), bolthires, 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.
