Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Merciv is a startup venture incubated by Sky, focusing on decentralized governance and transformative social change within the Sky Ecosystem. The Ecosystem Governance & Operations Lead will be responsible for architecting the Atlas governance processes, conducting research, coordinating with stakeholders, and refining workflows to operationalize the Atlas.
Responsibilities
- 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
- Drafting, validating and harmonizing Atlas data
- Defining workflows for different members of the ecosystem to work together
- Reviewing outputs from other actors for compliance with the Atlas
- Feeding back learnings from practical experience to continually improve the Atlas
Skills
- You should be familiar with the Atlas 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'
- Deep operations orientation. You think not only of 'what' but 'how', breaking down high level processes into detailed workflows and developing tools to optimize them
- Self-starter: you observe and listen deeply so that you can 'read between the lines.' We can have a sync, and you can go away with confidence to get from point A to Z with minimal additional direction. You can discern what is needed
- 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
- Ability to interact with external stakeholders with clarity and credibility. Judgment to resolve issues when possible and escalate them when necessary
- 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
- Non-binary thinker. The Atlas presents innumerable, complex legal and ethical governance issues that cannot be grasped with black-or-white thinking
- You're a proud generalist. No hesitation to wear whatever hat is needed. You'll be working toward the moonshot with us, but the day to day will involve admin; research; stakeholder coordination; workflow optimization; data input, creation and review; preparation of documentation; etc
- Tools: Notion! We're building out large parts of our workflow in Notion, so you've got to be comfy using it. Big plus if you're deep into orchestrating AI-assisted workflows and are tasting/trying all of the AI tools and models
- Culture is key. We look for highly capable colleagues, but also kindness. We look for people who feel sincere love for the mission, people who want to build for a future whose full bloom they will not live to see
Benefits
- Highly competitive compensation (USDS and SKY), with bonus potential
- Incredible potential to grow with us
