Protofire is a dedicated sub-unit of Altoros, specialized in consultancy and development services around Blockchain technology.
As great enthusiasts and active contributors to the open-source blockchain communities we help builders and providers of decentralized infrastructure, protocols and applications, to bootstrap the demand and supply sides of their markets, and accelerate mass adoption.
We help startups with protocol amp; smart contract engineering, high-performance trusted data feeds (oracles), and awesome developer tools (SDKs/APIs).
Since we started in 2016 we’ve had a chance to contribute to the development of many top projects in the blockchain ecosystem, including Maker, Chainlink, Tezos, Gnosis, Kyber Network, The Graph, Filecoin, Synthetix, Avalanche and more. Apart from that we are running one of the biggest indexer nodes in the Graph Network, participating as bridge relayers and validators helping projects and networks to further decentralise their infrastructure.
We are now looking to hire a cross-disciplinary team to help Protofire scale. As such, we’re looking for a Blockchain Technical Analyst who loves creating blockchain projects and products from scratch.
