About Filecoin Foundation 

Filecoin Foundation (FF) is an independent organization that facilitates governance of the Filecoin network, funds critical development projects, supports the growth of the Filecoin ecosystem, and advocates for Filecoin and the decentralized web. In 2017, the creators of Filecoin envisioned that an independent Filecoin Foundation would serve as the long-term governance body for the Filecoin Ecosystem. They gave the Foundation the mandate to “grow an open ecosystem for decentralized storage” and to “give developers an open and sustainable platform to build, enhance and monetize those services.” They wanted the Foundation to be modeled on Foundations for other open source projects like the Apache Software Foundation, the Mozilla Foundation and the Linux Foundation. The Filecoin Foundation operates independently of Protocol Labs, the organization that designed and built the Filecoin network. As a member of our early-stage team, you will have the opportunity to help define our growth as the organization scales. At Filecoin Foundation, we are a fully remote organization and support a remote, collaborative, and inclusive working culture from anywhere in the world.

Compliance Coordinator (Ongoing part-time contract)

Filecoin Plus acts as a social trust and verification layer for the distributed data storage network, the Filecoin protocol. Teams apply to be “allocators,” which act as trusted fiduciaries in the network. They receive applications from clients (data owners or preparers) who wish to onboard data to the Filecoin network. The allocators are responsible for verifying the identity of the client, the veracity of the data, and the distribution of deals to a broad set of storage providers. Each allocator has different and self-defined processes & requirements (such as thresholds for distribution). These allocators are given a balance of an asset called DataCap, which they can award to clients, who then burn the DataCap in storage deals for an increased subsidy. This incentive and subsidy model aims to increase the real, quality, distributed data onboarding. 

 

Perform routine compliance review audits of external project partners to determine if behaviors match programmatic requirements. Utilize existing tooling and provide feedback for new tools (dashboards, reports, standards). Review subjective & qualitative claims, investigate available quantitative data, determine thresholds for compliant behavior. Log internal investigation notes with consistent process. Post public investigation results along with determination and conclusion of audit (ie pass, fail). Document playbook explaining process, assumptions, areas for improvement. 

 

This role is responsible for performing compliance audits of these allocators. You will investigate their bookkeeping, client & data diligence, allocation history, and interventions. You will determine if the interactions meet a threshold for compliance, and whether the allocator should receive more DataCap to continue awarding the subsidy.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
