Ecosystem Venture Manager (US)

It’s time for the digital world to be reinvented. We’re here to make sure it happens.

The Starknet Foundation stewards the growth of Starknet, a cutting-edge Layer 2 blockchain built on Ethereum. Our mission is to scale Ethereum and Bitcoin without compromising security or decentralization, making powerful, efficient decentralized applications accessible to all.

Now is an incredible time to join Starknet. The ecosystem is expanding - developer activity is growing, transformative projects are launching, and the technology is proving its strength. As adoption accelerates, this is your chance to shape the future of decentralized infrastructure. We’re not just building technology - we’re reimagining what the digital world could be if it was built with integrity. The Starknet Foundation is home to a world-class team of builders, researchers, and community leaders, all working to create a more open, fair, and decentralized future. At the Foundation, you’ll collaborate with a close-knit team of driven, creative, and unconventional minds to make this vision a reality.

If you’re ready to challenge assumptions, embrace first principles, and help bring fairness, creativity, and opportunity to the digital world, we’d love to work with you.
