Wynd Labs•New York, NY

7d•$90,000 - $155,000

About The Position

Wynd Labs is an early-stage startup on a mission to democratize the future of AI. Through our first product, Grass, we provide universal access to public web data, and a system where ordinary people can participate in the process and share in the benefits. Grass is a network sharing application that allows users to share their unused bandwidth, effectively creating a residential proxy network that rewards individual residential IPs for the bandwidth they provide. Grass will route traffic equitably among its network and meter the amount of data that each node provides to fairly distribute rewards. In non-technical terms, Grass unlocks everyone's ability to earn rewards by simply sharing their unused internet bandwidth on personal devices. This project is for those who lead with initiative, seek to challenge themselves, and thrive on curiosity. We operate with a lean, highly motivated team who revel in the responsibility that comes with autonomy. We have a flat organizational structure where decision-makers are also implementers. We are driven by ambitious goals and a strong sense of urgency. Leadership is given to those who show initiative, consistently deliver excellence, and bring out the best in those around them. Join us if you want to set the tone for a fair and equitable internet.
