Golang Orbitium Jobs

Job Description

About Orbitium

Crypto was pioneered as the Big Banks disruptor, the great equalizer of a global society plagued by the injustices of the financial system and the super-rich. Yet, what we’ve seen almost 10 years into the life of this new crypto economy is the concentration of wealth among the very few, high entry barriers, high technology barriers, and little to no change in social equality.

Orbitium aims to rebalance the course of history with an advanced social DeFi app that will enable anyone, anywhere in the world to start earning from Day 1 with the simple click of a button.

The project is now funded and ready to move forward to achieve its mission.
