Hands-on management role at Irys: the first L1 programmable datachain
Head of Engineering role
What is Irys?
Irys is the first L1 programmable datachain, designed to optimize data storage and execution. By combining storage and execution, it significantly increases the usefulness of blockspace, enabling a wider range of web services to come onchain that aren’t possible right now.
Irys empowers developers to create and innovate like never before. With Irys, builders can eliminate dependencies, integrate efficient onchain data, and unlock new possibilities for dynamic, real-time applications—all within a unified platform.

Company Info:
Irys has secured $8.9m of funding to date and will be raising Series A in early 2025. They have strong backing, work closely with big projects including Arweave and Backpack, and the ecosystem is continuing to grow.
Irys was previously Bundlr, focusing on on-chain data storage to help scale up Arweave. They have now launched their own L1 as Irys and are focused on creating the first L1 programmable datachain.
A datachain is a blockchain optimized for data storage, making it significantly cheaper to store onchain data than blockchains focused on smart contracts and financial use cases. Irys's data storage is highly optimised and verifiable, enabling the IrysVM to utilize on-chain data during computations. This makes Irys the first truly programmable datachain.
