Who We Are

We are Atlas Axis, a startup venture incubated by Sky (formerly MakerDAO).

As one of the earliest DAOs on Ethereum, Sky was launched in 2014 and became the first DeFi application to earn significant adoption. Today, the Sky Ecosystem stewards the longest-running protocol on Ethereum with a TVL of over $7 billion.

To achieve a resilient, decentralized and unbiased world currency, Sky is undergoing a radical structural, organizational and cultural transformation which it has dubbed “Endgame.” The heart of Endgame is the Atlas, the massive, AI-enhanced governance ruleset powering the entire Sky Ecosystem.

Atlas Axis has been entrusted with developing the Atlas. We are driving toward a vision of decentralized governance that is not only ambitious, but stands to create transformative social change.

Apply today to join forces with us. 🤝

Deliverables

Taking on this role makes you a key architect of the Atlas.

As a founding team member of Atlas Axis, you will steward all aspects of the end-to-end workflow, including conducting original research; preparing raw data in various forms for integration into the Atlas; setting up and continually refining Atlas core infrastructure and meta-rules; coordinating workstreams with numerous ecosystem stakeholders such as Alignment Conservers, community members, drafters and domain experts; and drafting, validating and harmonizing Atlas data.

We are in the early stages of this experiment. The ideal candidate has to be excited about venturing into the messy unknown and shaping the future of self-governance at the Sky Ecosystem and beyond.

Qualifications

• You should be familiar with the Atlas (gen1, starting here) and Sky (formerly MakerDAO). We are willing to make an exception for people who are very quick learners and possess all other qualifications. If you lack familiarity with Sky, significant experience with community-driven organizations (Web3, decentralized or otherwise) would be a differentiator.
• Sharp thinker, logical and creative. We’re grinding through mountains of data and need intense focus to navigate the multiple interconnections among data points.
• Obsessive about learning and tackling complex problems.
• Strong organizational skills. Meticulous, detail-oriented. A sixth sense for “things being out of order”.
• Exceptional ability to read, analyze and synthesize large volumes of information. Adept at pattern recognition. Strong working memory a must.
• Excellent communication skills in English. In particular, you must write rather quickly (not counting chatGPT). We are a writing-heavy team and we ourselves are learning the Atlas as we build it. This means we have to hash out, in text, fine-grained arguments with one another.
• You must be familiar with wringing meaning out of precise facets of language. Working with the Atlas, you’ll find that seemingly insignificant changes to syntax can transform the logic of a provision. Hopefully, you find this exciting.
• Notion! For now, we’re building out our entire workflow in Notion, so you’ve got to be comfy using it.
