Full-time📈 Mid Level🇺🇸 USA📅 May 14, 2024

Machine intelligence will soon take over humanity’s role in knowledge-keeping and creation. What started in the mid-1990s as the gradual off-loading of knowledge and decision making to search engines will be rapidly replaced by vast neural networks - with all knowledge compressed into their artificial neurons. Unlike organic life, machine intelligence, built within silicon, needs protocols to coordinate and grow. And, like nature, these protocols should be open, permissionless, and neutral. Starting with compute hardware, the Gensyn protocol networks together the core resources required for machine intelligence to flourish alongside human intelligence.

The Role

Nice to Have

  • Cryptography engineering (with a focus on GPUs)
  • Understanding and navigating AI & Crypto regulations
  • Cryptoeconomics and game theoretic design

Compensation / Benefits

Our Principles

Autonomy & Independence

  • Don’t ask for permission - we have a constraint culture, not a permission culture.
  • Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.
  • Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.
  • Communicate to be understood rather than pushing out information and expecting others to work to understand it.
  • Stay a small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teams rival much larger traditional teams.

Rejection of mediocrity & high performance

  • Give direct feedback to everyone immediately - rather than avoiding unpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, or trading short-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
  • Embrace an extreme learning rate - rather than assuming limits to your ability / knowledge.
  • Don’t quit - push to the final outcome, despite any barriers.
  • Be anti-fragile - balance short-term risk for long-term outcomes.
  • Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, or bikeshedding.
