We are still hiring at Fractal (NFT marketplace for gaming assets). We're a revenue generating company with fewer than 15 team members that just raised $35m in new funding. Founded by experienced founders. https://jobs.lever.co/fractal-is/

Anything relating to NFTs sounds like the absolute opposite of a recession-proof job.
1) Games will move from closed economies to open economies, just as they transitioned to free-to-play 15 years ago. Blockchain is just the technology through which this will happen.

2) This transition will take 10 years - we are building for that timeline

3) We raised a ton of money and have a lean team, and can exist for >5 years without revenue. We are keeping our team lean to maintain that level of runway.

4) For whatever reason, people are still buying gaming NFTs right now (as of this week). Of course, that may change quickly.

Oof it sounds like NFT marketplace will be first to go in a recession.
The "job description coming soon!" doesn't inspire a ton of confidence (https://jobs.lever.co/fractal-is/1952f298-7008-44e2-891d-567...)
Worked at gaming company. Everybody I know including me extremely bearish on NFTs. Good luck.
