Role

We are looking for a bold, curious engineer with high standards to help us create the smart contracts for Popcorn. You will be responsible for ensuring consistent, high-quality codebases, technical specifications, deployment scripts, and more.

Roadmap

The roadmap in the immediate future includes launching innovative yield optimization products along with our beneficiary governance and grant election platforms (it’s something like Gitcoin where token holders vote periodically for non-profits to receive the fees generated from our products. See our whitepaper for details). Please check out our public roadmap to see what we'll be focusing on in the coming months:
