Lead Site Reliability / DevOps Engineer
Who we are
Over the next 10 years, payment and financial services businesses will upgrade the movement of money and financial assets to blockchain-based networks.
We are on a mission to revolutionize how people access and transact in the world’s most widely recognized and stable currency, the US Dollar. We believe that financial inclusion should be a right, not a privilege. That cost-effective, accessible financial services can profoundly impact people’s lives, especially in regions where traditional banking systems fall short.
Agora is building a next-generation payments, asset management, and operations platform that’s purpose-built for transmitting value on blockchain digital rails. The Company is led by Nick van Eck (prev. at General Catalyst 4+ years) and Drake Evans (ex-lead engineer at Frax Finance, the issuer of the second largest onchain stablecoin).
What we’re building
First and foremost, we’re building an engineering organization dedicated to producing the best. We are building a culture where we work as a team, operate as a unit, and trust each other to produce the best code and culture we can.
Agora’s first product — a fully collateralized, freely tradeable USD stablecoin — will be launched in the year ahead. It will compete directly with the heavyweight stables in the market today but will differentiate materially in terms of its value proposition, resource allocation, and go-to-market strategy. The stable’s collateral will be managed by VanEck, one of the world’s largest asset managers and ETF issuers (~$80B AUM).
