We're a privacy startup based in NYC working on scaling E2E encryption with personal, private servers. Our first application is a federated Discord alternative targeted at crypto communities. Our biggest need right now is for an Infrastructure Lead that’s very experienced with Rust.

Infrastructure Lead - Rust - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/comm/07697269-644c-4913-8ea0-60f7ee...

Comm's long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

Federated is not web3. This is just distributed like fediverse.

We're a startup based in NYC working on a decentralized, self-hosted messaging platform for communities based on federated keyservers.

Our long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2.
