About Celestia Labs
Celestia is the first modular blockchain network. By decoupling consensus from execution, Celestia enables anyone to easily deploy their own blockchain, without the overhead of bootstrapping a new consensus network. Blockchains on Celestia are free from constraints, making them scalable, sovereign, and secure.
About the Team
Celestia Labs is a remote-first, globally distributed team with English as our primary language for communication. We thrive in a fast-paced startup environment and are seeking self-starters who are motivated to tackle complex challenges. While we don’t require team members to reside in specific time zones, many of us operate within European time zones (CET). Team and company events are typically scheduled between 1 PM and 6 PM CET, and team members are expected to be available for these when needed.
