Unto Labs | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE (Hybrid OK), REMOTE (US) | Full-Time Unto Labs is developing the Thru Layer-1 blockchain (https://thru.org) We recently announced $14.4 million in funding to make blockchains & digital assets useful for the world. Founded by Jump Crypto alumni and core contributors to the Solana protocol and the Firedancer client (https://github.com/firedancer-io/firedancer), we’re tackling fundamental scalability, performance, and usability challenges in distributed ledgers.

Our runtime conforms to the RISC-V specification—moving away from domain-specific VMs, DSLs, and bespoke compiler toolchains that limit developer and institutional adoption. You can write smart contracts and programs in any LLVM compatible programming language and reason about a standard ISA in RISC-V. Components are developed in C for maximal control over performance and resource usage.

We believe there is a unique window of opportunity to developer fairer, more accessible, and more global financial products on resilient public blockchains.

You can check out our docs and open-source developer tooling at docs.thru.org and https://github.com/Unto-Labs/thru/

We are hiring for the following role(s):

Anybody surprised that the tech sector in Germany is in the state it's in?

Jobmarket in Germany is currently crashed; most people would be happy to get an offer for "only" 60k

Definitely not true for full stack developers with more than 1-2 YOE
