[Jobs Roundup] These roles may help you land a role at Web3 solutions startup Polygon

Earlier this week, Ethereum scaling project Polygon (previously Matic Network) announced it had raised $450 million in its first major VC financing round led by Sequoia Capital India, with participation from Tiger Global, SoftBank, Galaxy Digital, Republic Capital, Makers Fund, Alameda Research, Alan Howard, Alexis Ohanian, Steadview Capital, Elevation Capital, Animoca Brands, Spartan Fund, Dragonfly Capital, Variant Fund, and Kevin O’Leary.

The funds will be raised through a private sale of Polygon’s native MATIC token. The Web3 startup's market cap was $14.4 billion at the time of publishing.

In a statement, Polygon claimed the fundraise will allow the team to consolidate its lead in the race to scale Ethereum, obviating the need for alternative blockchains and paving the way for mass adoption of Web3 applications.

Polygon is building a suite of Web3 scaling solutions, similar to Amazon Web Services (AWS) offerings for Web2 developer, i.e a tool for several possible use cases. The team is also investing in cutting-edge zero-knowledge (ZK) technology heralded as the key to onboarding the next billion users to Ethereum.

The fundraise comes on the back of Polygon emerging as the playground for decentralised metaverse-building activities. The firm's solutions have become the go-to protocols and frameworks for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. 

Polygon's growing suite of products and scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption, with over 7,000 decentralised applications hosted on them.
