Belief Market is a social opinino app where internet drama turns into social markets. We're an early-stage, fast-moving team building a brand-new category of expressive, on-chain markets. Join us on the ground floor to help shape an opinionated product with real-world impact.

Responsibility

The current team’s goal is to find product-market fit for the belief market. At a high level, your responsibilities will include prototyping proof-of-concept features and troubleshooting urgent failures.

You will prototype proof-of-concept features, as well as collect feedback for future production features. Our stack is TypeScript (with a strict type-checking culture) deployed as AWS services. You’ll also own observability (monitoring metrics and alerts in Grafana), troubleshooting incidents, and implementing preventive measures to maintain high availability.
