Why Join Obscuro?

We are setting out to provide a useful solution for a broad spectrum of decentralised finance (DeFi) use cases. We are committed to building not just cool and unique technology, but also a decentralised not-for-profit organisation (DAO) which explores how to manage and govern a network for the benefit of its users. We have many hard problems yet to solve, including technical, operational and regulatory and we need your help. Obscuro is an early stage startup with a promising outlook. Joining at this early stage means you have the opportunity to help design and build the fundamentals of the technical stack as part of a small, committed group plus enjoy a share of the founding team benefits. You can expect in-depth exposure to cryptography, trusted execution environments, confidential computing, blockchain and smart contracts. We have a realistic attitude to remote working. This means you can be located anywhere in the world and able to come together face-to-face with the entire team at least once per month. We firmly believe productive and honest collaboration is critical to our success.
