Senior UX/UI Designer

 

Pioneering advancements in cryptocurrencies, open assets, and smart contracts, Blockstream is the first company extending capabilities at the protocol level to support the application of Bitcoin and blockchain technology to a broad range of asset types. The extension mechanism of sidechains, the company’s initial area of focus, allows any number of so far unthought of developments to happen in an open and interoperable way. A champion of Bitcoin’s ethos, we are continuously supporting values of decentralization, end-to-end security, user control, and open, permissionless innovations.
