About Us

Syndicate is building the infrastructure to take web3 mainstream. Developers leverage Syndicate’s products to abstract web3’s complexity. With Syndicate, teams spend less time managing complex web3 infrastructure and more time building an exceptional end-to-end experience for their customers.

Founded in Jan 2021, we’ve raised over $28M from top leaders who represent a diverse array of industries and communities, including firms like Andreessen Horowitz, IDEO CoLab Ventures, Variant, Electric Capital, Coinbase and over 200 others. We’ve also partnered with and received investment from over 100 community partners.

We’re a Remote-First Company

We’re proud to be a distributed company that’s remote first. We’ve built a top-notch remote culture that includes things like an employee perks stipend, coworking space stipend, unlimited time off, regular in-person meetups around the world (including twice a year where we fly the whole company out to a shared summit), and many more benefits to help you do your best work wherever you are.

For this role, we welcome applicants from anywhere in North America.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Syndicate, we’re building a fundamentally revolutionary product. That starts with a diverse, inclusive, affirming, and welcoming team. We are deeply committed to these principles as a core value, and proud to be an equal opportunity workplace. If you’re a member of an underrepresented group, we strongly encourage you to apply.

The Role
