Hipster Dev

Hello nerds! We are a couple of friends who recently founded a research & development & trading company mostly focused on crypto.

We are already making good profits from trading & investments but have also just started building various tools, apps, smart contracts, bots and related tech to support our operations and increase our profits even more.

And now is the time to share it with the right people.

Our culture is an engineer & maker culture. We have some people onboard who combined possess a fair understanding of topics such as economics, statistics, investing, trading, psychology, computer science, operating systems, programming, networking, security, devops, the internet, the web, the blockchain, incentive design and tokenomics.

I'm not disclosing the identity of our company (we have no good reason to announce our existence to the public at this time), but I'm disclosing my own identity as I realize that the target audience of this post (hopefully you) needs to know who they would be working with if they pursue this opportunity.

I am an experienced full stack developer, a product engineer having a lot of startup experience, and a significant crypto exposure. Check out my fancy webpage here to get an idea about whether I'm the kind of guy you'd be interested in hanging out with.


Our development philosophy is to always aim for quality and simplicity with a pragmatic touch when it comes either to the team, product, or processes. (We're influenced by Suckless)

A quality team comes before everything. We have a small team of talented generalists with a hacker attitude, a deep understanding of the "web operating system", and a sense of humor. And we're looking to expand this team (but not too much).

We are not looking for the mythical full stack developer who is an expert on everything, say, ES2118, CSS, responsive design, GraphQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Solidity and shit.

Instead we are looking for people who have a proper foundation on programming in general and the web platform, a strong intellectual curiosity, and the experience & ability to make good judgements when it comes either to technology choices, architectural choices, implementation details, analysis, prioritization, and interaction with customers (internal & external). This is what's important. Specifics can be learned. No one cares if you know flexbox or not. Or funky sorting algorithms. Or React hooks. Or NFTs.


We are very selective when it comes to the projects we work on, people we work with, partnerships we establish and tools & ecosystems we build on top of. It's not only about making money but it's about making it while having a pleasant experience & fun, learning stuff that is worth learning, building a proper reputation, investing in projects & ecosystems & people that will increasingly benefit us and be worth our very precious time in the longer term. All while preserving our health & wellbeing of course.


So we invite you to reach out to us if you feel that we have similar values & goals and can have fun together. We want your support. In exchange we will give you our support. You will have top-notch colleagues. You will be mentored, supported, compensated in the most adequate ways possible. We are open to share significant cashflow and / or equity with the right people. And we also care a lot about your health & happiness.

We don't care about outdated performance parameters such as when & where & how many days in a week / year you work. As long as everybody is motivated, happy, healthy, trusting each other, managing expectations wisely, and getting things done; nothing else really matters.

Your level of expertise doesn't matter either. As long as you have the right mindset & potential we will be ready to educate you even if you don't have a lot of experience. We're playing the long game here and we welcome you.


If you like what you've read so far and think you have what it takes to hang out with the likes of us, maybe you should reach out.

Send me a resume / CV preferably with a motivation letter that shows a sign of intelligence / character / whatever you think sets you aside from the common developer. (Turkish accepted)

Seek me out at dev at gwn dot wtf if you want the red pill
