Important Note

We are not in a position right now to pay much so we are looking for people who would like to contribute, in return for a share in WorldBrain.io's profits, based on the Steward Ownership model. Your reward is calculated on the opportunity costs for a free/cheap contribution.

Example: You work for 5.000€ in total and don't charge, you'll then get a multiplier of that back from the profits we are making, in return for your risk and sweat, e.g. 20.000€.

As a team we are still outstanding a full conversation on what 'value' and 'contribution' means and how to fairly reward all the different types of contributions and risks involved that happened and will still happen. Be excited to take part in those, we are.

About your Role

Why?

  1. Make people understand Memex better so it can solve real problems for them. Users who understand the full value of Memex and integrated it into their habits, love it. But right now onboarding and the UX of some features is not very well designed, leaving users with too many open questions, and confusion over how to use it. It's introducing many new capabilities that need gentle and thoughtful weaving into existing workflows and habits.
  2. Create user experiences for knowledge sharing workflows that have not existed Upcoming, we are working on Memex' first sharing/collaboration features and will introduce user interactions that have not existed before. So there will be tough UX challenges with lots of room to learn. How would you enable people to search each other's knowledge? How do you ensure people have a transparent and easy-to-use way of sharing access to their own knowledge graph and Memex data? How would you display contextual data like annotations or related websites within the browsing experience?
  3. Join a company that values service & people, not limitless growth Private equity, venture capital and the stock market are increasingly damaging to society because their value generation is based on speculation and there is no limit on shareholder returns. It's the root cause of many of society's biggest problems like wealth inequality, climate change and environmental damages. WorldBrain.io is a Steward Ownership company. This economic model ensures that service, impact and worker's conditions are always placed first, financial returns second (but still important). This model combines the best of both worlds of capitalism and socialism: Empowerment of individuals and rewarding effort (minus greed) & Responsibility for the collective's good (minus oppression).
  4. Grow a network with people and communities working on the cutting edge of technology, finance and governance WorldBrain.io's team is connected to a wide array of people and communities the decentralised, open-source, finance and philanthropy space (e.g. Mozilla, IPFS, Purpose-Economy.org EdgeRyders, Enspiral, Ouishare, EmbassyNetwork, REVISION, Dyne, Internet Archive, NEXUS, Dat, Ethereum).
  5. Gain new skills fast. Because we're still such a small team, we all take on many different roles that are new to us, whether that's writing, UX design, creating new processes. Your mind, abilities, and product sense will expand every day.
