Job Description

We empower developers to create a better digital future with best-in-class tools and services.

We believe that building apps on Bitcoin is the biggest and most obvious bet in crypto today. Most of the public believes that Bitcoin is nothing more than a store of value, but we see Bitcoin as the foundation for a better internet.

We make tools for developers to build this future with Stacks, the largest and fastest growing Web3 project on Bitcoin.
