About Ithaca

Crypto must go faster. We have started Ithaca, a company designed to accelerate the crypto frontier, and have raised $20M from Paradigm.

Over the past four years, our global group of less than 20 engineers has shipped some of the industry’s most used open source tools like Reth & Foundry. We believe in sustainable open source development for the good of crypto, and in creating the right incentive system for commercial consumer experiences.

The stack is ready. We can achieve the step-level changes needed to enable consumers to fully leverage crypto with fast, cheap, global and private experiences.

We have been collaborating with the developer community and industry for the last years, and we are excited to continue accelerating crypto together.

Operations @ Ithaca

As part of the Operations team, you’ll support our efforts across recruiting, onboarding, internal coordination, and company infrastructure.

You’ll work directly with the founding team and have a high degree of autonomy. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-context environment and enjoys wearing many hats.
