Who we are
Union Finance is building the Credit Primitive for DeFi.
We believe that open, permission-less community-owned financial applications are the future and that these new decentralized applications will gain global adoption because the user experience is worlds better.
Market opportunity: There are $2B in loans outstanding on Ethereum. All of which is collateralized. In traditional finance un-collateralized lending is 100x that of the collateralized lending market.
Product opportunity: we are building the protocol to enable credit on Ethereum. We believe this is one of the missing primitives to allow DeFi to become more Positive Sum.
Company opportunity: we are a team of designers, system engineers, entrepreneurs and crypto veterans looking to build a dream team.
We're backed by brilliant investors with a long term view (like Placeholder, 1kx, Coinfund, KR1, Scalar, and some of the top DeFi Angels).

You will be working as a Core Dev. of the Union Protocol.
Protocol Architecture: work with the team to research, design, and test mechanisms that serve the needs of the Union ecosystem.

Software Development: implement and test open-source software that is used to interact with smart contracts
Community Building: work with the team to create and foster a community of developers we can trust to carry Union forward
Qualifications
Hands on experience in a software architect/engineering role, ideally some within solidity/ethereum development or at a fintech where funds are at risk.
