About Consensys
What is Consensys?
Consensys is the leading blockchain and web3 software company, founded in 2014 by Joe Lubin, who is also a co-founder of Ethereum. Its mission is "to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making the decentralized web universally easy to access, use, and build on." The company builds the products and infrastructure powering the next generation of the internet, including MetaMask — the crypto wallet and gateway to web3 trusted by tens of millions of users worldwide — and Linea, which it describes as "the only 100% proven zkEVM rollup." Together its tools enable users, developers, and institutions to participate in an open, programmable financial system being rebuilt on Ethereum.
Where will I work?
Consensys is fully remote. Joining means "working with a fully remote, globally distributed team of technologists, designers, cryptographers, product thinkers, and researchers." The company describes itself as "Remote First," giving you "the unique opportunity to work with people from across 6 continents," and notes that it "lean[s] heavily on asynchronous working." Active roles are open across the United States, Canada, LATAM, EMEA, and globally — so wherever you're based, you can plug into a distributed team rather than commuting to an office.
What is the Consensys team like?
You'll join "a global team of over 700 technologists, designers, cryptographers, product thinkers, and researchers." The culture is built on five stated values: "we act with kindness," "we cultivate community," "we continually evolve," "we embrace innovation," and "we deliver impact." Consensys describes its environment as "chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly," and welcomes builders who want to "challenge our thinking." Alumni "have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies," reflecting the calibre of the network you'd be joining.
Work-Life Balance
Consensys offers genuinely flexible time off: "everyone is entitled to unlimited vacation." On top of that, "Productivity Zero are optional rest & recharge days (not included in PTO)" — additional days where colleagues step away from email and Slack. Combined with a fully remote, asynchronous working model spanning six continents, the setup is built around autonomy and recharging on your own schedule.
Perks and Benefits
Consensys provides equity to every employee: "you'll receive equity when you join us," and builders "can choose to receive up to 10% of their after-tax monthly salary in ETH." Health coverage comes via "a number of benefit plan options... based on your location." Remote work is well supported — "a Remote Work Stipend designed to subsidize the cost of creating your ideal workspace," plus "your own device." For growth, "the Consensys Advance Program, including full access to Coursera & company-wide training sessions," and the yearly Cypherpunk hackathon round out the package.
