Notably Berachain used the latest development as an opportunity to advertise it is looking to expand its team with new hires, with a number of positions available for those willing to join the company’s staff. 

Berachain is actively seeking talent, including a UI/UX designer, product managers, software engineers, developers, a data scientist, and a quantitative analyst, as advertised on their careers page.

The job postings emphasize the unique blend of experience on the Berachain team, featuring professionals from top tech companies like Apple, Coinbase, IBM, and Y-Combinator, alongside crypto native expertise from influential DeFi 2.0 protocols.

Team members share a strong passion for Web3, Toybox, and building infrastructure to democratize decentralized finance.
