We're reimagining blockchains, from core consensus primitives to performance-tuned networking stacks, in the service of global scale applications. ## About the Role We're seeking a Product Engineer to invent, prototype, and launch breakthrough decentralized finance applications in a venture-studio environment. You will build full-stack mobile and web experiences with React and React Native, contribute to and dogfood our developing tooling (gRPC/TypeScript SDKs) and infrastructure, and iterate quickly to build concepts that hit number-one spots on global app stores. If you live and breathe crypto, love rapid experimentation, are passionate about web technologies, and want to change how mainstream users interact with digital assets, we want to work with you. ## Responsibilities - Invent, prototype, and launch breakthrough decentralized finance applications in a venture-studio environment. - Build full-stack mobile and web experiences with React and React Native. - Contribute to and dogfood developing tooling (gRPC/TypeScript SDKs) and agent infrastructure. - Iterate quickly to build concepts that rank high on global app stores. - Passionate about crypto, rapid experimentation, web technologies, and changing how mainstream users interact with digital assets. Qualifications: - 4+ years building consumer mobile or web apps with significant user traffic. - Expert-level React and React Native skills, plus solid TypeScript. - Experience building developer-facing SDKs and CLIs. - Familiar with gRPC and REST specifications and tooling. - Proven ability to turn rough ideas into shipped products at startup speed. - Strong sense of product design, usability, and performance on resource-constrained devices. Why Join Us? - Be at the forefront of blockchain technology, working on next-generation consumer crypto applications with a small, fast-moving, tight-knit team. - Collaborate with experts in high-frequency trading and scaling developer ecosystems. - Shape products that bring crypto to mainstream users. - Access to cutting-edge hardware and development tools. Compensation and Benefits: - Competitive salary ($170k+ USD) - Significant equity and upside potential. - Flexible work environment. - Unlimited vacation policy. - Health insurance. - Hardware and development tool allowance. - Conference and learning budget. ## About Unto Labs ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Unto Labs is building Thru, a next-generation base-layer blockchain that applies high-performance computing principles to achieve unprecedented scale. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $14.4M raised) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Liam Heeger and Will Yoo ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Blockchain infrastructure, decentralized finance (DeFi), distributed systems - **Target customers**: Developers and projects building on a high-performance Layer‑1 blockchain (B2B/developer‑focused) - **Mission/purpose**: Pushing the physical limits of distributed systems to create a high‑performance, accessible base layer for the next generation of decentralized applications. ## Products & Services - **Thru**: A next‑generation Layer‑1 blockchain that uses a highly accessible virtual machine based on the RISC‑V standard. Designed for extreme performance by applying high‑performance computing (HPC) principles to distributed systems. The platform is intended for developers seeking low latency and high throughput. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding – **$14.4M** (Seed round, April 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Framework Ventures (led the seed round), Electric Capital - **Growth Signals**: - 7 employees (100% YoY growth) - LinkedIn followers grew 273.6% year‑over‑year (269 followers) - Monthly website traffic grew 18.1% (915 visits/month) - 6 active job openings as of mid‑2025 (up 500% quarter‑over‑quarter) - Physical office in San Francisco; presence in Canada and Mexico ## Competitive Advantages - Built on the RISC‑V instruction set, making the virtual machine more accessible and open compared to proprietary VM designs. - Founders and early team come from high‑profile distributed‑systems backgrounds (e.g., Jump Crypto’s Firedancer, Solana core engineering). - Focus on extreme performance (“pushing the limits of distributed systems”) differentiates Thru from other Layer‑1s that prioritise other trade‑offs. - Backed by top‑tier crypto VCs (Framework Ventures, Electric Capital), signalling strong institutional confidence. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priority**: Launch and scale the Thru blockchain – hiring across engineering, design, marketing, and platform/devops to build out the ecosystem. - **Direction**: Continue to apply HPC techniques to blockchain design and attract developers to the RISC‑V‑based L1. Early legal challenges (Jump Crypto lawsuit) indicate a competitive, fast‑moving environment. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Small, highly technical team (7 people) where every employee has outsized impact. Emphasis on deep distributed‑systems knowledge and innovation. - **Work environment**: **In‑office** in San Francisco (2261 Market St). The team values close collaboration to iterate on cutting‑edge infrastructure. - **Perks & development**: Not detailed publicly, but as a well‑funded startup, likely includes equity, competitive compensation, and direct exposure to blockchain core development. - **Engineering culture**: Ideal for engineers who want to build at the physical limits of computing – roles include Systems Engineer, Product Engineer, Design Engineer, Platform/DevOps Engineer. - **Career opportunity**: Early‑stage hires can shape the technical direction of a potentially major infrastructure layer; fast growth trajectory. ## Sources 1.
