Who We Are

We’re a remote-first company, structured around specialized teams that bring unique expertise to our work. Our Audit, Staking, Go, Rust, and Cycles Teams are at the core of our projects, tackling everything from blockchain security to protocol development. Alongside them are our cross-functional heroes in finance, HR, legal, and more—fondly known as our "Horizonties"—who keep everything running smoothly. At Informal, every team has a voice, and collaboration across our diverse specialties is what drives us forward, wherever we’re working from.

We’re big on variety and making sure your work matches your skills and interests. You’ll get to see projects from start to finish, exploring different areas without getting boxed into just one role.

Plus, with our ties to both academia and the entrepreneurial world, you’ll get the best of both worlds—real-world innovation meets cutting-edge research. We want you to explore, learn fast, and find the path that challenges and inspires you every day.
