At Syndicate, we are dedicated to building the foundational infrastructure that brings web3 into the mainstream. Our mission is to abstract away the complexities of web3, allowing development teams to focus on creating exceptional end-to-end experiences for their users rather than managing intricate backend systems. Since our founding in early 2021, we have secured over 28 million dollars in funding from prominent industry leaders, including Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase, and Electric Capital. We operate as a remote-first organization with a vibrant culture, and we are looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our infrastructure and SRE team to help scale our Appchains platform.
