Atlas Axis - Ecosystem Governance & Operations Lead

We are Atlas Axis, a startup venture incubated by Sky (formerly MakerDAO). As one of the earliest DAOs on Ethereum, Sky was launched in 2014 and became the first DeFi application to earn significant adoption. Today, the Sky Ecosystem stewards the longest-running protocol on Ethereum with a TVL of over $5 billion.

To achieve a resilient, decentralized and unbiased world currency, Sky is undergoing a radical structural, organizational and cultural transformation which it has dubbed “Endgame.” The heart of Endgame is the Atlas, the massive, AI-enhanced governance ruleset powering the entire Sky Ecosystem.

Atlas Axis has been entrusted with developing and helping operationalize the Atlas. We are driving toward a vision of decentralized governance that is not only ambitious, but stands to create transformative social change.

Deliverables

Taking on this role makes you a key architect of the Atlas and Sky's governance processes. As a founding team member of Atlas Axis, you will steward all aspects of the end-to-end workflow, including conducting original research; preparing raw data in various forms for integration into the Atlas; setting up and continually refining Atlas core infrastructure and meta-rules; coordinating workstreams with numerous ecosystem stakeholders such as Alignment Conservers, community members, drafters and domain experts; and drafting, validating and harmonizing Atlas data.

You will also play a key role in operationalizing the Atlas, including defining workflows for different members of the ecosystem to work together, reviewing outputs from other actors for compliance with the Atlas, and feeding back learnings from practical experience to continually improve the Atlas.

We are in the early stages of this experiment. The ideal candidate has to be excited about venturing into the messy unknown and shaping the future of self-governance at the Sky Ecosystem and beyond.
