San Francisco, United States Caldera Full time
About Caldera

Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchains compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network - this can lead to congestion and high fees or even network outages.

That's where we come in. We're building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains (rollups), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their players.

We're backed by some of the best investors in the valley and offer competitive pay, an equity grant in the company, and full benefits Our team is primarily located in San Francisco, and work in-person from the Financial District.
