You will collaborate intimately with the founding team on vital aspects of our operations, assuming responsibility for specific areas from the outset.

Our Culture
At LO:TECH we value humility in pursuit of excellence. We're curious and relaxed, but don't mistake this for lack of ambition. We're building something revolutionary and expect everyone to bring their A-game. We celebrate wins without ego and learn from setbacks without blame. If you're looking for a place where your crypto obsession is considered a professional asset rather than a distraction, you've found your home.
