Job Description

Chief Oracle (Marketing Lead)

If this job title caught your eye, then you know exactly what we’re looking for. Fairblock is seeking a marketing guru to spread the word about the significance of standardizing encryption availability across every blockchain.

This is an opportunity to play a major role with one of the most equipped teams in crypto to accelerate the adoption of web3 over the coming decades. Fairblock plays a major role in accelerating crypto’s adoption curve by unlocking the blockchain design space and increasing user retention with engaging applications that are only possible with encryption.

We are well-funded, having raised 2.5M from Galileo, Dialectic, Lemniscap, Chorus One, Robot Ventures, GSR, and others. We've already established impactful infrastructure, DeFi, and gaming business relationships in the Cosmos and EVM ecosystems.

The right hire will work closely with our co-founders and have a unique impact on the success and growth of Fairblock as we accelerate our integrations with thoughtfully planned go-to-market strategies before the mainnet launch.

TLDR:

To make encryption available everywhere, we have to make it fun, easy to grasp, and reachable. The Fairblock Oracle will be responsible for bringing on-chain encryption to life and driving excitement among protocol and application developers to offer encryption optionality to their users. We’re in the business of setting standards, and we believe we have the most accessible product to make encryption a standard on-chain. The Oracle will bridge the gap between the technical complexities of encryption and the real world.

About Fairblock:

Fairblock is an encryption coprocessor that unlocks a new generation of on-chain experiences by abstracting away the technical and operational complexity of advanced MPC cryptography schemes such as threshold identity-based encryption (IBE) and threshold homomorphic encryption (HE) to make encryption composable, seamless, and compliant in all ecosystems.

We believe that the lack of encryption availability on-chain is one of the major barriers to the adoption of decentralized applications. This roadblock affects millions of everyday end-users as well as big institutions alike. Our mission is to make on-chain encryption available everywhere, usable by everyone, and programmable. 95% of web2 traffic is encrypted—as encryption is a fundamental standard across the web, we envision the same standard enforced in web3.

We’re a world-class team of researchers and developers focused on applied cryptography for blockchain infrastructure and applications. Our team has a strong background in DeFi, mechanism design, and building applied cryptographic infrastructures. We've already achieved significant wins, collaborating with industry powerhouses like Celestia, Arbitrum, and CoWSwap, and have organic growth on our Twitter and Discord communities (~15K). This is just the beginning, and we see immense potential in DeFi, gaming applications, and even unlocking the future of confidential AI.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a Chief Oracle, aka marketing lead. A spirited, self-sufficient, organized, and mission-driven individual to join us as we build the future of encryption-enabled applications.

This person will spearhead the development and execution of our marketing strategies to enhance brand awareness, drive user attention, and raise awareness around Fairblock’s tools to increase developer adoption of encryption within protocols and applications.
