3Box Labs
👉 Please reference you found the job on Remote Software Engineering Jobs, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
At 3Box Labs we are on a mission to usher in a new era for the web, where data is secure, interactions are trustworthy, and relationships are the basis of connection. We're enabling online experiences that are delightful and integrated while also bolstering privacy and freeing innovation. Our first product, Ceramic, is the building block for composable data on the web and is powering thousands of the world's most ambitious applications.
We're backed by an incredible community and the best investors in the space (USV, Placeholder, Variant, Multicoin) who have deep conviction in our mission. We are a lean, voraciously curious team from across the globe, with 5 years of expert remote work experience and frequent (and awesome) team retreats to spend time together. We have founded tech startups, written books, won product awards, authored patents, created Ethereum standards, and advised F100 CEOs.
Come help us tackle novel challenges and reinvent how data is managed online. Every one of our roles is remote first (retreat often!). We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team because we cannot succeed in our mission without it. People that identify with groups traditionally underrepresented in tech are particularly encouraged to apply.
🌐 Our Mission
Catalyze the community-driven data ecosystem that helps developers build a more open and vibrant web.
Developers are at the core of all our operations. We are relentlessly thinking about how to make it easy and fun to build a new Web3.
👁 Our Vision
An internet built on fair and abundant access to the world’s information. Developers innovate rapidly and permissionlessly on shared technology and data, creating a billion networked and composable applications. Users have control of their data and agency over their online presence, moving seamlessly and securely across the web. Humanity gets more out of its data, migrating information from centralized silos to an interconnected dataverse. Our digital condition is both richer and more sustainable as we connect on a more diverse and collaborative internet that is built on foundations owned and governed by all.
🧗Our Values
🤔Act with Intention. We are thoughtful doers. We put as much into *why* and *how* we do something as *what* we do. We think through tradeoffs and wrestle with nuance. We balance scrappiness with systems-thinking. We collaborate with purpose: frequent feedback - both positive and constructive - and active pursuit of new perspectives to constantly improve.
🤝Go further together. Our mission is too big for us alone; we succeed by empowering a community. We build building blocks for builders. We prioritize diversity and inclusion because our global vision requires ingenuity from all perspectives and backgrounds. We cultivate trust, ask for help, and build momentum together.
❤️Care. We do fascinating work that we deeply care about and find meaning in. We get to explore new frontiers, lean into our curiosities, and leap down rabbitholes. We work with passionate teammates committed to a shared purpose and support each other to work better and live well.
🦵 Drive incredible impact. We aim for massive impact and we deliver. Sometimes this comes from breakthrough invention, other times from constantly compounding progress each and every day. We take initiative for whatever problem solving, role, and coordination is needed to get great results.
As a Protocol Engineer, you will join the Ceramic team building ComposeDB, our decentralized Graph Database, and the Ceramic Event Streaming layer (think decentralized Kafka) that powers it.
Success looks like...
Salary range: $115-$210K depending on seniority and location. We understand everyone's risk preferences and life situation is different so we can offer flexibility here. Our goal is to extend a fair and exciting offer, while preserving fairness across the team.
Bonus points for...
Welcome to 3Box Labs- we are excited to have you interview with us! Below is everything you need to know to set you up for success for our process. Beyond just our interviews, please take some time to read up on our mission, vision and values. All 3 of these components are integrated into our questions in order for us to find not only a fit for the role, but also a fit for our team.
🔍The Interview Process
Our goal is to give you a really great sense of our team and how we work, and us a deep understanding of your goals and values as well as your skills and experiences. That means no coding tests or scattered interviews. Our process is similar for all roles:
1. Recruiter Chat: 45 minute zoom call with the talent lead reviewing the job description, your experience and diving into impact you’ve made and values you appreciate. 🗣️
2. Hiring Manager Interview: 45 minutes zoom with a 3Box Labs founder going into your past experience to understand what you've done and especially why and how. 👋
3. Working Sessions: think of this as a pre-covid “onsite” - a series of interviews with the role’s teammates and cross-team collaborators.
💡 Our “Live Work” differs across teams.

The best prep for the day is to familiarize yourself with Ceramic via the documentation (http://developers.ceramic.network/).
