TACo (f.k.a. NuCypher) is hiring a Developer Relations Lead to lead the process of (1) educating would-be adopters, (2) onboarding development teams, and (3) successfully integrating the taco-web API into their trust-minimized applications.

About TACo

TACo is the world’s first decentralized access control plugin & API, relevant to virtually all Web3 app/stacks that handle non-public data. TACo:

• launched on Mainnet in January 2024
• is running on over 131 nodes
• is generating revenue from diverse use cases, and is partnered with web3 infrastructure layers
• unlike competitors, has been end-to-end decentralized and permissionless from genesis

Our mission is to rid popular tools, services and applications from corporate/state surveillance, enable true sovereignty over one’s data, and permanently protect the right to private communication & data sharing. If you’re a good fit – and genuinely passionate about this mission – send your resume, Github profile and/or any OSS projects you’ve worked on to [email protected]. No recruiters, please.
