Work where innovation meets application.

Our team is one of the fastest growing in the industry, and we look for minds driven to turn ground-breaking ideas into world-changing products.

Ideas are easy. We choose what’s difficult.

There’s no debating the potential of blockchain to change our world. But while many are content to envision the future, we seek to build it. We believe that the potential of the space can only be realised through innovation, dedication and passion.

We are more than nearly 100 minds gathered around those principles and commited to making access to blockchain universal.

Culture at nChain

Curious

Curiosity is in our DNA. It’s what pushes us to explore new and novel uses of the blockchain, beyond the obvious realms of finance and banking.

Restless

We are impatient when it comes to bringing new ideas to life. Because we don’t believe in waiting for the future. We believe in making it happen.

Scientific

For us, science is daring, explorative and adventurous. So while we strive for innovation in business, we are proudly scientific in our approach.

Collaborative

We are a diverse group, made up of talented people from all walks of life. But we are at our best when we work as one team.

“We’re an office where every colleague is inspired to work here and inspiring to work with.”
