About the Protocol Labs Network

The recruiting team is supporting the Protocol Labs Network (PLN) — a community of open source teams, projects, and organizations focused on researching, developing, and deploying network protocols to improve humanity’s most influential technology, the Internet. These Web3 teams and organizations are supported by the PL Ventures team through grants and investments – think of it as a VC + crypto fund model. As this ecosystem grows, these projects invest in the network itself, and the network grows along with it, which in turn benefits and incentivizes this ongoing evolution of Web2 to Web3. PLN is made up of 450+ projects, companies, and organizations.  To note, this job posting is for the community of external companies inside of the PLN and is not for direct Protocol Labs employment.
