Who we are

Windranger is a product lab working both independently and in collaboration with BitDAO to accelerate the blockchain economy. Whether building, co-developing or incubating, our collective of crypto natives is focused on supporting the founders, teams, and organizations shaping the future of Web3. You can read more about us here: https://docs.windranger.io/

We’re looking for the next generation of leaders and doers who have a passion for crypto and are looking to influence the future of DAOs, DeFi, and Web3. If you value a flexible work environment that’s low ego and is focused on pragmatism over perfection, then keep on scrolling.
