Full-time role that can be local (in Auckland) or remote

Our aim is to support growing teams with infrastructure and API services. We provide easy to use infrastructure automation tools to reduce the amount of time development teams need to spend managing and deploying infrastructure. We also provide free mission-critical public services to various networks via our API service (providing over 100 million API requests each day).

On another hand, we’ve just launched a sister company that will be focusing on making the world’s decentralized data more accessible.

Every team needs to process and query decentralized data, we transform, index, and save this data to allow it to be used in more complex applications.

We’re all about helping others create new products that will help us transition to the web3 future.
