About LBRY

Some things to know about working at LBRY:

• We value autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
• We judge you by your work. We don't care about credentials, ranks, how long you work, or where you work from. We care about what you get done.
• We are extremely transparent, organizationally flat, and open-minded. There are no pure managers — everyone's a doer. While you will have clear responsibilities, you're welcome to contribute at any level or area of the company.
• We believe great results come from great people. If you're interested in working with a team of bright, creative, and diligent people, this is the place.

Who We're Looking For

There's no one kind of LBRYan. We value people who can bring new perspectives to our team. Here are some traits that are important to us:

• Ability to solve complex problems in simple ways. LBRY has many moving parts, but we try our hardest to power it with simple processes and code. Your job is not just to solve problems, but to solve problems in a way that will last and can easily be picked up by other people.
• Knack for user-experience and user-perspective. Whether you're meeting with creators or designing the guts of our DHT, what you do ultimately has to work for other people. Our user base ranges from casual viewers to crypto-nerd power users, and you'll need an ability to understand how to create solutions for everyone.
• Thinking in tradeoffs. There are few one-sided answers in our work. How well can you navigate the idea maze of possibilities and competing priorities?
• Reliable and independent. We expect a lot out of you, but we won't keep tabs on you. You must thrive in that kind of environment.
• No degree, credential, or age requirements. If you can do the work, we don't care how you got the skills.
• For engineers, someone who appreciates that our CTO would create this document and then link it in a job posting.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity.
• Health insurance reimbursement.
• Flexible work hours.
• Take as much time off as you want.
• Work-related expenses covered: laptop, software licenses, coffee, whatever helps you work better.
• Any books you want to read. It's LBRY, after all.
