About our team:

• A lean team of 12-15 senior contributors based across multiple time zones

• Ensure our team of (mostly senior) full- and part-time engineers is productive and thriving
• Craft Orca's roadmap by providing a technical perspective and helping make key architectural decisions
• Work with a PM to craft and run effective sprint processes
• Work with our co-founders, Ori and Yutaro, to help shape the vision for the Orca protocol

What you bring:

• Extensive experience building large-scale software applications and leading teams
• A desire to help your team members grow and flourish
• Resonance with Orca’s brand values (professional, principled, and playful 🐳)
• Excellent communication skills

Bonus points if you have...

• Used Orca for trades and/or liquidity provision
• Participated in DeFi, especially the Solana ecosystem
• An appreciation for cheesy marine puns

Details of the role
