Re: We’re Hiring at D— - The Next Frontier in Computing

Hi J—,

Thanks for taking an interest in me. I have a young daughter who's turning 3 in a couple weeks. Your project threatens her future on a warming planet. This is not abstract or theoretical to me, receiving this email is equivalent to getting recruited by a fossil fuel company.

If I thought there were some way I could talk you out of what you're doing I would try, but I have seen the discussions online and I know it's impossible to reason people out of a gold rush mentality. Please take me off your mailing list and please really take a minute to think about the impact of your work.

Hi Dan,
I'm J—, working closely with the D— engineering team to find the best tech talent. I hope you don't mind me reaching out, but I think you'd be a great fit on our team.

D— is a nonprofit organization working on the development of the Internet Computer, a decentralized, open-source, general-purpose blockchain that runs at web speed and has unbounded capacity. We’re regarded for having one of the world’s most respected R&D teams in the space (150+ of the top computer scientists, researchers and engineers in the world) and are continuing to rapidly grow the team.

While research began in 2016, the network launched in May 2021 and it has been growing at a rapid pace. Developers and apps in our ecosystem have been growing at 30% week over week, but we’re only getting started.

Let me know if you'd be open to connecting on a call with our recruiting team in the coming days so we can tell you more about the opportunity.

Best,

J—
