Careers

Chia is hiring!

We believe that anyone should be able to farm and that cryptocurrency should be easier to use and more secure than cash. That means we need people who want to create internet class user experience on the most secure blockchain and smart transaction platform created so far.

Many on the Chia team are located in the SF Bay Area but remote is fine as we have people all over the world - Keybase, GitHub, and Zoom are how we work. Geographic restrictions, if any, will be noted in a job specification.

Please send your resume and cover letter to [email protected]. Please put the role you are applying for as part of the subject line and include anything additionally required by a specific job posting.

Senge XYZs is hiring technically gifted programmers to expand our team of cryptographers and engineers building our blockchain and smart transaction platform. We have a focus on easy to use software across architectures and operating systems. You should have strong algorithmic skills. Cryptography experience is a plus but not required. Remote is okay and currently the standard, though there is a concentration of people in the SF Bay Area. To apply, if your resume does not speak for itself, please complete a couple of LeetCode Contests and send a link to your LeetCode profile and your resume in your Cover Letter.
