Alchemy powers the core infrastructure for leading blockchain companies and enterprises around the globe, enabling them to build better products and user experiences through next-generation blockchain infrastructure and developer tools. We're on a mission to create a platform that enables people to build great products for the blockchain space - similar to what Microsoft and Apple did for computers. Our team consists of top engineers with decades of experience at Google, Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Pinterest building massively scalable infrastructure, AI, and products that millions of users love. We've been in stealth so we've been pretty quiet, but we're backed by the top execs, investors, and institutions in Silicon Valley including Stanford University and Coinbase. We're growing rapidly and hiring in all roles - so reach out and say hi if you're interested in joining our awesome family + mission! Email us at team (at) alchemy.com!
