Job Summary
Our partner is building the blockchain for enterprise big data, making it easy to use big data in multi-player Web3 like Snowflake did for single-player Web2.
Enterprise big data is currently incompatible with Web3 because of data governance and performance requirements. They are middleware that sits on top of existing databases, achieving high performance with novel technology for blocking, in coordination with enterprise-friendly private chains. This unlocks basic Web3 benefits like tamper-proofing and built-in monetization and is foundational for the multi-player data Renaissance where collaborative network effects will create entirely new industries.
They also have another successful app that helps users track and improve how they spend all of their time, 24 hrs/day, 168 hrs/week. They help people establish a time management habit with the best practices in the world.
About the role

This role will start out as an individual contributor, and will naturally lead to management opportunities over time if desired. They have fewer than 10 employees but are on a rocketship fundraising path, and are looking for individuals excited to join an effort right from its beginning.
