Synopsis

Medusa is a startup focused on unlocking and securing the world's data via cryptography and distributed systems.

We are looking for a co-founder with a strong background in product, business development, and/or user experience to join our team and help us grow.

About Medusa

At Medusa, we're on a mission to unlock and secure private data. The Web needs stronger primitives for owning, securing, sharing, and monetizing data. Cryptography and decentralized applications give users full control over their data, enabling security, privacy, and new forms of data economies.

Medusa Access Control is a threshold network of data custodians that applications control via smart contracts. The network secures keys to unlock encrypted data on IPFS (or other open storage networks) based on programmatic rules defined by application developers. This means we can store encrypted data on open networks and control access to that data with an open network, Medusa.

We're looking for a co-founder with a strong background in product design, business development, and/or user experience to join our team and help us execute this vision. If you share our passion for building innovative Web3 products that unlock and secure the world's data, we invite you to join us at Medusa.
