We're on a mission to create the most innovative and industry-leading cryptocurrencies exchange. Our team is built from many enthusiastic individuals who each hold an ownership mentality. That means that no one is waiting to be told what to do. Each member is a self-starter who is highly motivated. To put it another way, when we’re not working, we dream about work. However, while each member is motivated and self-starting, we are also a group who will not put our individual egos before the best interests of the team.

Our team is globally distributed, so clear communication is critical. We are in constant contact as we hustle to develop, support, and deliver the best platform possible for our users. Our goal is to find more hard-working, skilled people who will be excited to join us on this journey.

If you get excited about being in an industry that is breaking new ground and have a disposition of confidence towards challenging technical feats, we want to talk to you.
