About the Job

Are you ready to build something that disrupts an entire industry?

Guerdon is a Web3 decentralized advertising and content delivery network (CDN) designed to remove middlemen, cut costs, and give real control to businesses and creators.

We are looking for a technical Co-Founder/CTO to join at the ground level and lead the technical development of our MVP and token infrastructure on Solana.

This is a sweat equity position initially, with future salary and token allocation secured post-funding (private and public sales). If you’re passionate about Web3, decentralized infrastructure, and want to build a product that can reshape digital advertising and hosting, this is for you.

What We’re Building

Guerdon is building a fully decentralized platform that delivers:

  • A decentralized ad network where advertisers and publishers connect directly, with on-chain verified engagement.
  • A blockchain-powered CDN that makes hosting and content delivery cheaper, censorship-resistant, and more secure.
  • A utility token (GUERD) powering transactions, ad campaigns, and rewarding bandwidth-sharing node operators.

What We Are Looking For

  • Strong technical leadership and entrepreneurial mindset—you will drive development of our MVP and oversee tech strategy.
  • Experience building on Solana or similar blockchains (Rust/Solana SDK)—smart contracts, token creation, and potentially staking/vesting mechanisms.
  • Ability to architect, develop, and oversee the MVP, including:
    • Solana-based token & smart contracts (SPL tokens)
    • Decentralized ad network MVP (basic ad serving & reporting)
    • Foundation for decentralized CDN functionality (phase 1)
  • Web3/DeFi experience highly valued, especially understanding decentralized systems, CDNs, and ad networks.
  • Comfortable working hands-on in early stages—with a vision to grow the tech team post-funding.
  • Collaborative and open communicator, able to work closely with the CEO and future team.

Co-Founder Package

  • Co-Founder Token allocation (GUERD)—details to be agreed based on final structure.
  • Salary becomes active post-funding (targeting $500k raise for MVP expansion and liquidity). Negotiable.
  • Full creative and technical ownership of platform architecture and tech strategy.
  • Opportunity to build and lead your own tech team as we grow.
  • Direct access to fundraising process, shaping the product and pitch alongside the CEO.
  • Chance to be part of a market-defining project in Web3—we are targeting a $25B+ CDN and $600B+ ad market with no true decentralized alternatives.
