Domain: DePIN — Global Infrastructure Layer for Verified Mobility
Location: Remote
Compensation: Equity + Token Allocation + Competitive Salary
Inspira Labs is in search of a top-tier CTO / Chief Product Architect to lead the technical vision of a new DePIN company building the global infrastructure layer for verified mobility.
This is not a traditional CTO role. We’re looking for someone who can fully own the product, shape the protocol, and orchestrate the entire engineering function from day zero.
You will:
• Co-design the end-to-end architecture and technological direction of the project
• Translate mobility infrastructure into Web3-integrated systems and products
• Build, lead, and retain a world-class engineering team
• Work directly with the founder on narrative, positioning, and roadmap
• Design the core protocol from scratch (mobility identity, device attestation, node infrastructure, SDKs, APIs)
• Act as a true co-founder, taking a meaningful equity stake and token allocation
• You must think like a category creator, not just a senior developer.
Core Responsibilities:
• Architect the Proof-of-Mobility (PoM) protocol and mobility verification rails aligned with DePIN principles
• Design the mobility identity layer (device identity + human identity + movement identity)
• Build early prototypes, SDKs, APIs, mobility oracles, and validator logic
• Decide whether the protocol should run on a custom L1/L2 or leverage existing chains
• Oversee integrations with DePIN networks, IoT providers, hardware/device manufacturers, and mobility data layers
• Define and maintain the product roadmap (0 → 1 → scale)
• Translate a high-level narrative into concrete technical deliverables and milestones
• Validate the technical feasibility of mobility verification methods and data pipelines
Requirements:
• 6–10+ years of relevant engineering experience
• Strong knowledge of blockchain architecture (L1, L2, SVM, EVM, or modular/Core-style architectures)
• Hands-on experience with DePIN / IoT / sensor data / device binding / attestation
• Proven experience building protocols, not only applications
• Prior CTO / Lead Architect experience in Web3 or deep infrastructure projects
• Experience with zk-proofs in the context of location, identity, or data integrity
• Ability to hire, lead, and mentor high-caliber engineering teams
