The world will be unrecognisable in 5 years.

Machine learning models are driving our cars, testing our eyesight, detecting our cancer, giving sight to the blind, giving speech to the mute, and dictating what we consume, enjoy, and think. These AI systems are already an integral part of our lives and will shape our future as a species.

Soon, we'll conjure unlimited content: from never-ending TV series (where we’re the main character) to personalised tutors that are infinitely patient and leave no student behind. We’ll augment our memories with foundation models—individually tailored to us through RLHF and connected directly to our thoughts via Brain-Machine Interfaces—blurring the lines between organic and machine intelligence and ushering in the next generation of human development.

This future demands immense, globally accessible, uncensorable, computational power. Gensyn is the machine learning compute protocol that translates machine learning compute into an always-on commodity resource—outside of centralised control and as ubiquitous as electricity—accelerating AI progress and ensuring that this revolutionary technology is accessible to all of humanity through a free market.

Our Principles:

AUTONOMY

Don’t ask for permission - we have a constraint culture, not a permission culture.
Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.
Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.
No middle managers - we don’t (and will likely never) have middle managers.

FOCUS

Small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teams rival much larger traditional teams.
Thin protocol - build and design thinly.
Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, or bikeshedding.

REJECT MEDIOCRITY

Give direct feedback to everyone immediately rather than avoiding unpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, or trading short-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
Embrace an extreme learning rate rather than assuming limits to your ability/knowledge.
No quit - push to the final outcome, despite any barriers.

Key Responsibilities:

Plan and manage all Gensyn company offsites, including location scouting, travel coordination, activity planning, and catering.
Plan and execute Gensyn company events, including in-person events at industry conferences, as well as ad hoc events (including virtual events, e.g. X Spaces); manage all related programming, promotion, and vendor management.
Frequently attend Gensyn events and represent the company if needed (e.g. engaging community members at our conference booth).
Manage event budgets, timelines, and deliverables to ensure projects are completed on time and within scope.
Handle post-event analysis and feedback - in order to continually improve the quality and impact of future events.

Minimum Requirements:

Extensive experience planning global company events, including offsites and conferences. Ability to work autonomously, owning large-scale projects with little or no supervision.
Experience engaging with conference/event attendees.
Ability to travel to any Gensyn event, regardless of location.

Nice to have:

Experience working in a fully remote company.
Experience working at a high growth, early stage, startup.
Experience in the blockchain and/or machine learning space is strongly preferred.
