About Protocol Labs
Protocol Labs drives breakthroughs in computing to push humanity forward. Protocol Labs is a product-development lab, but behind the protocols and tools we build, behind the research and implementations, are passionate people, teammates, and community members. Most teams in the Protocol Labs Network are fully distributed and work remotely around the world. Engineers, researchers, and operators work in the open to improve the internet — humanity's most important technology — as we explore new advances at the intersection of many exciting fields (web3, cryptography, networks, distributed systems) and cultures (startups, research, open-source, distributed work).
NFT.Storage is building a public commons of NFT data - crucial infrastructure built on IPFS and Filecoin to provide a resilient substrate for all NFTs. By byte, NFTs are the worlds most valuable data asset - and NFT.Storage leverages IPFS and Filecoin to offer resiliency to them all. NFT.Storage is completely open source and aims to enable builders, hackers and entrepreneurs to build products and tools relying on this common data layer.
As NFT.Storage evolves into a DAO, we need someone who can structure and orchestra as its inaugural tech lead to ensure that the DAO lives up to it’s mission of creating resilient, accessible NFT infrastructure for all.
