About the Starknet Foundation
The Starknet Foundation is the steward of Starknet, a permissionless validity rollup designed to scale the world’s most important blockchains without compromise. Having pioneered ZK-STARK technology to scale Ethereum, we are now entering a new era as the first network to settle simultaneously on both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Joining the Starknet Foundation now places you at the epicenter of this pivotal phase and offers a rare, ground-floor opportunity to shape how Starknet's core growth verticals evolve: from BTCFi and privacy to quantum resistance and real-world assets. This is a unique chance to build the infrastructure that turns the world's most secure assets and most sensitive use cases into productive, scalable capital for a billion users, and it requires exceptional talent. We're looking for people who think in systems, operate well in ambiguity, and are motivated by long-term impact over short-term wins. If you want your work to outlast a market cycle and define how decentralized systems actually scale, this is the place to do it.
