1. Why this role exists

The Polkadot ecosystem is booming with opportunities - yet talent and projects rarely find each other. Critical initiatives stall while qualified contributors search elsewhere.

Your mandate: design and operate a lightweight, data‑driven talent marketplace that continuously matches real people to real work across the entire ecosystem.

About Polkadot & Our Work Environment

Polkadot is a layer‑0 multichain network that lets independent blockchains interoperate securely and at scale. The ecosystem brings together core engineering teams, parachain projects, research collectives, and a global open‑source community working toward a more decentralised internet.
