Aptos is a people-first blockchain on a mission to help billions of people achieve universal and fair access to decentralized assets in a safe and scalable way.
Founded by some of the original creators and maintainers that researched, designed, and built the Diem blockchain to serve this purpose, we have dedicated several years toward this mission. We believe the open-source Diem technology we have developed is an important foundation of a safe and scalable web3 world where everyone has more equitable opportunities to grow and access financial assets with lower fees and fewer intermediaries.
Aptos (Ohlone for “The People”) encompasses our mission and ethos for why we build.
About Shelby
Shelby is a decentralized storage network, purpose-built to deliver secure, high-performance, and developer-friendly data infrastructure. Shelby’s goal is to bring data driven revenue on-chain. Shelby can serve any chain and even non-blockchain workloads. Designed for builders, Shelby uses on-chain smart contracts to coordinate and manage storage activity, ensuring full transparency and trustless integrity. Shelby enables developers to store, retrieve data at the same performance as big clouds, while being multiple times cheaper on egress costs. Whether powering DePIN protocols, gaming platforms, AI models, or analytics engines, Shelby is redefining what high performance, read optimized storage can do—bridging protocol-grade architecture with production-ready performance. Built by the collaboration of Aptos and Jump Crypto, Shelby engineers have experience building Facebook infrastructure and Jump’s HFT stack.
The Role
Shelby’s north star metrics are – a) Revenue generated by the protocol and b) Revenue the protocol helps generate. To drive these metrics forward, we’re seeking a Head of Business Development to drive Shelby’s go-to-market motion, own strategic partnerships, and build the commercial foundation of our decentralized storage ecosystem. This is a rare zero-to-one leadership role where you will shape the business trajectory of a protocol from the ground up.
