Solana Ecosystem Growth Lead

We are redefining Solana’s consensus ecosystem by building infrastructure that enables guaranteed transaction inclusion, pre-confirmations, and deterministic settlement. Our software bridges validators with purpose-built execution environments—creating a new design space for high-performance, low-latency onchain applications. Backed by top-tier investors and actively collaborating with leading validators and dApps, we are positioned to become a foundational layer in the future of Solana infrastructure.

As Senior Ecosystem Growth Associate, you will be instrumental in driving our adoption across the Solana ecosystem and broader web3 space. You will lead strategic outreach to protocols, validators, infra teams, and institutional users—transforming our technical innovations into concrete partnerships, integrations, and use cases. This is a hybrid role spanning ecosystem development, business strategy, and hands-on execution.
