Core Developer

What you will do

Gnosis is a community-run chain that is closely aligned with Ethereum’s values and community. We seek to build a chain that is credibly neutral and resilient, with nodes run by thousands of ordinary people across the globe. Gnosis continues to contribute to Ethereum’s growth as an experimental chain, where newcomers, quirky ideas, and indie projects are welcome. 

Gnosis is currently hiring for Core Devs who will contribute to both Ethereum and Gnosis.
