Conduit – The Onchain Compute Company

Position Overview

Conduit is building the rollup-native cloud platform to scale Ethereum. We address the critical need for high-volume, low-cost onchain compute, enabling crypto builders to create high-quality user experiences. By combining web2 engineering best practices with web3 rollup technology, Conduit simplifies the launch and maintenance of custom chains, making onchain compute abundant and accessible, much like AWS and GCP did for web2.

Since its launch in 2023, Conduit has experienced significant growth, powering the largest chains in production, including Proof of Play, Zora, and Aevo. We manage over 200 chains across mainnet and testnet, with more than $1 billion in total-value-locked (TVL). We operate at the forefront of crypto, co-evolving with customers and partners to push the boundaries of blockchain scalability and modularity. This success is supported by a $37 million Series A funding round, co-led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures.

Our team comprises elite talent from companies such as Meta, Brex, Wish, Compound, Chainalysis, Immunefi, Amazon, Avara/Aave, and Paradigm. While headquartered in San Francisco, our team members are located globally. We are seeking ambitious, talented builders eager to help scale Ethereum and democratize crypto compute.
