A different kind of foundation, a different kind of job
Working at the Starknet Foundation isn’t like any other job. It’s a chance to do something that matters, challenge yourself, leave your mark on an ecosystem that is out to reinvent the digital world, and work with some of the brightest minds in the field.
With a leadership team with nearly 40 years of collective experience in Web3 ranging from lecturers in blockchain technology, to DeFi experts, to startup founders, to government advisors, to some of the most experienced product people in the field, the Starknet Foundation is a truly unique place to grow a career.
Not just another protocol
Founded by pioneers in cryptography including Eli Ben-Sasson who developed groundbreaking innovations including zk-STARKs and Cairo — the L2 smart contract language — Starknet was launched in 2021 to not only overcome the current technical limitations of Web3, but open new ways to build impactful products that solve real world problems with integrity. This allows founders and developers to think beyond the boundaries of both Web2 and Web3 to bring their most ambitious and creative ideas to life, while making widespread adoption a real possibility through native account abstraction and improved UX.
Starknet doesn’t simply make Web3 better by making it faster, more efficient, more scalable, and more cost effective, though it does all of those things as well, it fundamentally does something different. Starknet provides a future proof, fully verifiable development platform with its own complete programming language, with the aim of allowing founders and developers unmatched creativity and opportunity. Think of it as a new platform for the digital world, built on verifiability, that can push back against ever growing corporate control and the centralization of power, so we can once again trust the products we use and information we receive.
Currently the digital world is built to benefit the few by centralizing opportunity and creating a divide between builders and users. Starknet is helping to turn this on its head. Founders get new paths to monetization, distribution, and discovery that build relationships with users and invite them into the life of their projects. Developers get access to a technology stack that unlocks new ways to imagine app development. While users get a range of experiences that aren’t available anywhere else. And all of this is backed by a supportive ecosystem filled with bright and creative minds, funding opportunities, and everything founders and developers need to turn their ideas into sustainable businesses.
Starknet is the platform for those looking to reinvent everything. From gaming to finance, Starknet’s vision is to build the foundation for a new digital world that increases creativity, opportunity, and participation.
