Technical Writer (Sequence)

At Horizon, we’re building a New Dimension where Internet economies are fun, accessible, and for the benefit of all participants. We have two amazing products to make this real: Sequence, which consists of i) the first user-friendly smart wallet for crypto, NFTs, Web3 + the metaverse and ii) a seamless developer platform for Ethereum, EVM-chains, NFTs, Web3, DeFi and Dapps. And Skyweaver, a digital trading card game—powered by Sequence—where players can win, own, trade and sell their NFT game items. Sequence is poised to drive Web3 adoption on a massive scale by making blockchain easy, fun and powerful for users and developers. And, Skyweaver is poised to become a groundbreaking video game with its unprecedented player-owned economy, novel gameplay, and an already fervent community. While the challenge is hard, we find it incredibly fun. And, we have the ingredients to make it happen: a well-capitalized company with some of the best investors in the world (Reddit co-founder, Coinbase, Initialized, and more), an amazing team of leaders in the blockchain space, engineers who have built widely popular open source, a former top McKinsey strategy consultant, gaming industry veterans, and founders who have built and sold successful companies. You'll get to work with and learn from them all. Learn more at https://horizon.io/
