Growth team

We have joined the Interchain Foundation, and rebranded Skip to Interchain Labs, as we become the ICF’s main development, product, and growth subsidiary! Read the announcement to learn more.

Who we are

📌 Interchain Labs (formerly, Skip) leads development for the Cosmos Hub, ecosystem, and stack -- the leading platform for building sovereign, interoperable blockchains. We're dedicated to offering developers full-stack programmability, complete ownership of their economics, and best-in-class distribution to users everywhere.

Our mission is to build a more free, more fair internet with the Cosmos platform at the core. The best teams already build with Cosmos across every category: defi (dYdX, Osmosis, Injective), infrastructure (Babylon, Celestia, Initia),  Depin/AI (Akash, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, Allora), privacy (Nillion, Penumbra), and many more. We want to help these teams and many more help bring the values of sovereignty and decentralization to the rest of the internet by developing the Cosmos stack and hub. 

We hire best-in-class talent anywhere within 6 hours of the NYC timezone but we also love it when we hire people to work together in person in NYC to build a collaborative and supportive culture. 

Core team member responsibilities

1. Work to solve hard technical problems at the cutting edge of blockchain research alongside the founders.
2. Be empowered to make bold technical and strategic decisions.
3. Play a critical role in determining the people we hire, our culture, our engineering practices, and the products we ship.

How we work

1. We value ambition, work ethic, and m (slope) over prestige, accomplishments, and y-intercept. - This means initiative, self development, and adaptability are non-negotiable, even for the most experienced candidates.
2. We value thoughtful and contentious dialogue over siloed and unilateral decision-making.
3. We value acknowledging uncertainty/weakness and seeking support over unabated confidence and solo performances.
4. We’re obsessive about documenting everything, learning, and shipping as fast as possible with short feedback cycles. 

Interchain Labs is committed to inclusion.

Interchain Labs. is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourages individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. We believe the purpose of crypto is to expand who has agency in society, which starts at home, by empowering people with diverse gender identities, ethnic backgrounds, and life experiences within our own organization. Interchain Inc. offers dedicated mentorship to support personal growth and a bright career in crypto.
