Welcome 👋 We’re really excited to have you join our team.
Who we are
Socean Labs is a team of engineers building Socean Finance, a suite of positive-sum financial products for the Solana ecosystem. Our flagship product is the Socean Stake Pool 🌊, which allows Solana holders to earn ~7% APY while improving the security of the Solana blockchain. We are also building Socean Streams ⛲, which allows DAOs to sell their governance tokens as a stream of future payments.
We recently closed a $5.75M seed round from top VCs like Dragonfly Capital, Sequoia Capital and the Solana Foundation, and are now looking to grow the team.
Values
- ➕ Positive-sum - Things don’t always have to have winners and losers. We build products that benefit everyone.
- 🚫🤑Anti-greed - We put the long-term health of the ecosystem above our own personal gain.
- 🕐 Long-term - We focus on consistently shipping good products, growing the community and building a better, wealthier world.
- ❓Question everything, improve everything - We carefully evaluate ideas from first principles instead of blindly chasing trends and memes.

Why work with us
- 🌍 Work from anywhere. Our team is distributed round the world and takes asynchronous communication very seriously. Work how, where, and whenever you want. (We have an office in Singapore if you prefer).
- 💩 No bullshit. We aggressively cut out unnecessary meetings. We don’t care about which school you went to or what fancy degrees you have; we care only about your ideas and your results.
- 💯 True autonomy. We trust our teammates to make good decisions. We clearly delineate who's responsible for a particular task and update our priors about their believability as they establish their track record.
- 🔎 Radically transparent. We try as much as possible to work with the garage door up. We are candid about what we’re working on, but also what we’re struggling with. We refuse to oversell ourselves.
- 🚀 Exciting space. We are a fast-growing (yet lean) startup in the Web3 space. We recently closed a $5.75M seed round from top VCs like Dragonfly Capital, Sequoia Capital and the Solana Foundation.
You’d be a good fit if..
You might be a good cultural fit if:
- ⌛ You’re comfortable working asynchronously. This means you are:
- 🖊️ A strong and clear writer. You’ll have to document questions, meeting notes and decisions via text.
- 1️⃣ An independent worker. While we work very closely together, you’ll sometimes have to unblock yourself, or make your own judgement calls.
- 🛠️ You’re intensely-product focused. Socean isn’t just about working with cool tech — it’s about building the best product. You should care very much about what our users think, what they want, and how to make them very happy.
- 🧠 You’re independent-minded. We don’t want robots. You should always be thinking about how to do things better (and challenge us if you disagree!), rather than just following our instructions.
