About The Role:
Pagoda is shepherding a future where NEAR becomes the blockchain operating system. We believe that re-inventing how software is made and distributed is our greatest opportunity to open economic access to those who are not fully integrated into the global economy.
Our products empower people to find opportunity, invent new experiences, and collaborate. Let's build an Open Web world. A world where people control their assets, data, and power of governance.
We’re looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to drive and execute on the product vision and technology roadmap, responsible for leading the engineering team at Pagoda, building the Blockchain Operating System, NEAR. Including protocol, infra and end user products. You will work directly under the CEO and will act as both a technology and business expert, making decisions that will impact the current and future operations of the company.

Work as a team of empathetic humans. We practice mutual respect, open communication, humility and collaboration. We are kind and empathetic. We are welcoming towards diversity in all forms, including differences of perspective.
