You have a thirst for knowledge and great research skills; you love independently solving problems and developing creative solutions to complex challenges. You are a self-starter with initiative and drive to accomplish goals with minimal direction. You are adaptive and quick on your feet, able to deal well with ambiguity and shifting priorities and business needs. You are empathetic and caring, with a user-focused mentality and a drive to deliver world-class customer service.

Perks of being part of a unique organisation like ConsenSys:
The forefront of a revolution. At ConsenSys we fundamentally believe that a next generation of technologies presents the opportunity to create a more just and equitable society.
A dynamic startup environment. ConsenSys is a thought leader in the blockchain space and we are absorbing a significant portion of the mindshare. This is both exciting and challenging, as we learn to scale our organization while adhering to the principles of decentralization.
Continuous learning. You’ll be constantly exposed to new languages, frameworks and ideas from your peers and as you work on different projects — challenging you to stay at the top of your game.
Deep technical challenges. This entire ecosystem is about 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler. There is much work to be done before these platforms can scale to the order of millions or billions of users. ConsenSys is building the technology platforms that can get us to those next thresholds of scale.London, UK
