About Staking Facilities
What is Staking Facilities?
Staking Facilities is a Munich-based, bootstrapped crypto-infrastructure operator that runs institutional-grade validator services across major proof-of-stake and proof-of-history networks. The company's pitch is sharp and self-aware: "We Build Blocks. Institutional-grade infrastructure. Custom solutions for those who build." Per the live homepage, the team currently secures "$1B+ ASSETS UNDER STAKE" with "20+ EXPERTS", framing itself as "INDEPENDENT & BOOTSTRAPPED" — "self-funded operators, not a VC-backed startup."
Staking Facilities owns every layer of its infrastructure, including more than 8,000 km of private fiber purpose-built for "low latency and high throughput demands." The company supports validators on eight active networks: Aptos (APT), Celestia (TIA), Chainlink (LINK), DoubleZero, Ethereum (ETH), Monad, Solana (SOL) and Sui — with a "value-aligned" stance: "We don't validate every chain. We choose partners that align with our vision for a decentralized future."
Where will I work?
Staking Facilities is remote-first with a Munich base. The careers homepage states verbatim: "While we are based in Munich, we are a remote-first company and our team spreads across the whole globe. As such, we regularly meet up at conferences or company retreats to closely knit the team together."
What is the Staking Facilities team like?
The careers description characterises the team: "We are a diverse, fun-loving, international team of doers, tinkerers, and technology enthusiasts with a diverse set of backgrounds. As an independent, bootstrapped company, we have the freedom to call our own shots and put our team at the heart of our company." The full team currently sits at 20+ experts across infrastructure engineering, MEV-aware block construction, governance and partnership operations.
Response-time discipline is part of the culture — the contact section advertises "SAME-DAY [response] FOR PARTNERS" and "AVAILABLE: 24/7 FOR CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE."
Work-Life Balance
The live HiBob careers page lists "Flexible working hours" and "30 days holiday plus bank holidays" verbatim under "What's in it for you?". An earlier 4dayweek.io listing referenced a 4-day-week pilot during June–August 2022 — the current live careers page does not advertise an active 4-day-week policy, so candidates should confirm latest hours and pilot status directly with Staking Facilities at application stage.
