Company:

Optimal is on a quest to Make Ads Work For You. We are reinventing the ads model and bringing sustainable growth to web3 📈🚀

Have you ever seen an ad? Did they use data about you to recommend something relevant? We think you should have been paid for that. Think of us as AdSense + Brave.

Advertisers and publishers love it too much and already we can't cope with the demand, so now we need your help to build it 🔨🫡

The role

What:

• we are looking for our first founding full-stack engineer to join us in building v1 of the product and progressively taking on higher level responsibilities as the engineering team grows.
• our current stack: Django/Python, Celery, Postgresql, JQuery, Docker, AWS. This will require significant expansion, with a focus on data engineering and reliable ETL pipelines. Front-end development will also become relevant, particularly React and React Native, so experience with these is a plus but not required.
• contractor-first with full-time including competitive equity as soon as we close our seed round. Remote-first but you should be available for in-person meetings in London and maybe off-sites every so often 🏝

Why you:

• you love tech, you’re driven by learning and building. You like to get your hands dirty and make stuff work
• several years of building software in public, no matter if professionally or as a hobby. Send us something you’ve built that you’re proud of.
• our mission appeals to you. You are genuinely excited to redefine the advertising model for the future of the web
• either experienced in or very curious about web3

Why us:

• We are a few months old and already we cannot cope with the demand! The opportunity is huge, and we get to redefine what the next internet will look like. But we need to move and build extremely fast.
• Impact: You get to work on disrupting the attention economy, putting people in control and taking on Google and Meta head-on!
• Learning: We are already working on multi-chain solutions that require understanding the inner workings of all these frameworks, systems and communities. Our stack has web2 roots but will need to connect to all the top web3 chains/stacks.
• Opportunity: By the next crypto bull run, we expect the web3 advertising market to hit ~$30 billion/year, and nobody has built the rails yet! If we do it right, we’re a 🦄.
