About Us


Within the next decade, investing will be decentralized, democratized, and community-driven. Syndicate is building the infrastructure to enable this at scale—we’re developing decentralized investing and social networking protocols, advanced legal tech solutions, and a next-gen social networking platform that empowers communities to raise, coordinate, and invest capital like never before.


Founded in Jan 2021, we’ve raised over $20M from values-aligned leaders who represent a diverse array of industries and communities, including firms like Andreessen Horowitz and its Cultural Leadership Fund, IDEO CoLab Ventures, Variant, Electric Capital, and over 200 others. We’ve also partnered with and received investment from over 100 community partners.


Our first product allows anyone to start an investing syndicate on the Ethereum for just the cost of gas. The typical fees to set up an investing syndicate average $12,000 which allows us to be up to 1,200x less expensive than traditional methods. We’re using public blockchain technology to expand access to venture capital for entrepreneurs around the world because we believe that venture capital should be widely available rather than only accessible in a small handful of cities.


We’re a Remote-First Company


We’re proud to be a globally distributed company that’s remote forever. Many companies have had to adopt remote work, but you could say we were born into it. That keeps things simple and efficient—you can work from almost anywhere, without worrying about a commute, rigid schedule, or retrofitting old processes into new ways of working.


We’ve built a top-notch remote culture that includes things like a home office stipend, travel reimbursement, and unlimited time off, regular in-person meetups around the world (including at least once a year where we fly the whole company out to a shared summit), and many more benefits to help you do your best work wherever you are.


For this role, we welcome applicants from anywhere in North America as long as the hours you choose overlap with the Pacific US timezone for meetings.


Diversity and Inclusion


At Syndicate, we’re building a fundamentally revolutionary product—one that promises to democratize finance in a way never before attempted. That starts with a diverse, inclusive, affirming, and welcoming team. We are deeply committed to these principles as a core value, and proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. If you’re a member of an underrepresented or marginalized group, we strongly encourage you to apply.


The Role


Syndicate is embarking on the ambitious mission to build a decentralized, democratized, and community-driven investing future. To achieve this vision, we need to craft an innovative suite of products and protocols. This role will play a key role in building out our new products function, which serves as Syndicate’s innovation and prototyping engine. In this role, you will conduct human-centered product development, including product ideation, rigorous validation, and beta customer testing.


This role would be perfect for you if you pride yourself in being a multidisciplinary creator, embrace learning through complexity, and have a bias towards action. This position will set you up well for product leadership roles or provide you with the perfect foundation to become an entrepreneur.


We welcome applicants from anywhere in North America, but given the collaborative nature of engineering, the hours you choose must have several hours of overlap with San Francisco’s and New York’s time zones.


You Will:



  • Collaborate with the leadership team in crafting and defining Syndicate’s new product strategy and roadmap

  • Scope new products through market research and customer conversations

  • Rapidly prototype new products using frontend tools (e.g., Typescript, React, Redux, GraphQL, etc.)

  • Iteratively build and test new products with our ecosystem of community members and users

  • Collaborate closely with design, engineering, and product teams to share learnings to inform product build

  • Pair with the new products lead to build out the experimentation function


Requirements:



  • Comfort in partnering closely with customers to identify user needs and spec out product requirements

  • Experience using React, Node.js, and Typescript in a production environment

  • Familiarity with building for, and deploying on, modern cloud services such as AWS and GCP

  • You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments

  • Superb communication, collaboration, and organizational skills


Nice to Haves:



  • Good design intuition and interest in building human-centered product

  • Previous experience building something that you’re passionate about

  • Familiarity with popular UI or CSS frameworks like Theme UI, Tailwind CSS, and Material UI

  • Experience interacting with core web3 tooling such as web3.js, Infura, and MetaMask API

  • Familiarity with Solidity contracts
