In order to fill the vacant role of Engineering Workstream Leader the Fox Foundation is sponsoring a 1,000,000 FOX token bonus to help attract the next workstream leader. This offer is open to any individual from inside or outside of the DAO community that would like to take on this challenge. To qualify, the candidate must successfully pass a proposal through DAO governance that elects them to the workstream leadership role and retain this position for 12 months or more. The FOX tokens will be streamed linearly over a 24 month period and the individual or an entity associated with the individual will need to be able to submit an invoice to the Foundation for these tokens. If the individual departs from the role or is voted out by governance within a 12 month period the stream will be terminated.
Process
- Submit a governance proposal outlining your qualifications and plans for the Engineering Workstream following the Shapshift DAO’s governance process outlined here. Workstream leaders are able to define the workstream’s budget as well as their own compensation to be ratified by governance. You can find examples of previous engineering workstream renewals here.
- Engage with the community to build support for your proposal, answer questions and get to know more about the DAO and the current team
- Successfully pass a proposal through the governance process
About the Engineering Workstream:
The engineering workstream is critical to the continued development and maintenance of the Shapeshift platform (app.shapeshift.com). The workstream works hand in hand with the Product workstream to deliver on new features and functionality and is supported by the Operations workstream who assists with release, testing, and user support. We are a remote first team that is globally distributed and relies heavily on asynchronous communication to complete our work. While we do have a few weekly meetings, most of our collaboration takes place in Discord and GitHub. The workstream continues to learn and integrate new protocols, chains and wallets into the Shapeshift application as well as explore novel mechanisms to further the FOX token as directed by governance. More information and a job description can be found here.
