Description

Who We Are

Aethos is a decentralized policy engine for smarter contracts. It enables developers to abstract away and seamlessly maintain their protocol’s rule system, ensuring that their smart contracts are always up-to-date with latest requirements. This unique capability, combined with our innovative approach to pre-transaction computation, allows Aethos to enforce diverse and complex rules - from NFT royalty enforcement to flow-of-funds checks - on transactions for any protocol. Aethos stands at the intersection of policy and decentralization, empowering developers to retain comprehensive control over the formulation and ownership of their policies. At its core, Aethos is unifying the flexibility and autonomy of policy enforcement with the integrity and security of blockchain technology. We’re backed by some of the best investors in the industry and offer competitive pay, equity, and full benefits. This is a US/CA remote position with a strong preference for NYC.
