Catalyze the community-driven data ecosystem that helps developers build a more open and vibrant web.
An internet built on fair and abundant access to the world’s information. Developers innovate rapidly and permissionlessly on shared technology and data, creating a billion networked and composable applications. Users have control of their data and agency over their online presence, moving seamlessly and securely across the web. Humanity gets more out of its data, migrating information from centralized silos to an interconnected dataverse. Our digital condition is both richer and more sustainable as we connect on a more diverse and collaborative internet that is built on foundations owned and governed by all.
Developers are at the core of all our operations. We are relentlessly thinking about how to make it easy and fun to build a new Web3.
We are lean and fast, incredibly curious and laser-focused, community-oriented and individually motivated. We have founded tech startups, written books, won product awards, authored patents, created Ethereum standards, and advised F100 CEOs.
We believe great impact comes from happy, interested, diverse teams. We've lived in dozens of different countries (and on a sailboat), dropped out of college, captained varsity athletic teams, cycled thousands of miles per year, and built houses. One of us is in an indie band, one practices ju-jitsu, another has meditated daily for 8 years.
We play "dog people" vs. "cat people" in codenames.
We live all over the world, mostly in Europe and North America. Work from anywhere with good WiFi and ability to join company-wide and team meetings. We gather often in amazing places for team retreats, hackathons, and co-working.
Our team, community and open-source products are at the center of this global movement. We collaborate closely with the top teams in the space and contribute regularly to other open-source projects.

We do fascinating work that we deeply care about and find meaning in. We get to explore new frontiers, lean into our curiosities, and leap down rabbitholes. We work with passionate teammates committed to a shared purpose and support each other to work better and live well.
We are thoughtful doers. We put as much into why and how we do something as what we do. We think through tradeoffs and wrestle with nuance. We balance scrappiness with systems-thinking. We collaborate with purpose: frequent feedback - both positive and constructive - and active pursuit of new perspectives to constantly improve.
Our mission is too big for us alone; we succeed by empowering a community. We build building blocks for builders. We prioritize diversity and inclusion because our global vision requires ingenuity from all perspectives and backgrounds. We cultivate trust, ask for help, and build momentum together.
