Voop | https://voop.com/ | London, UK | Full Time | Onsite
We're creating the first b2b neo-telco - a pure software phone network to help companies manage their connectivity as easy as saas. We're already a full MVNO in the UK, and will be launching later this year. We've also secured an agreement with a US network and will launch there next year all going well. We have an early large set of engaged prospective customers and need to get the product out ASAP and start iterating.
We're two founders, myself as the technical founder, and my cofounder is on the business side. I'm looking to bring in a great full-stack engineer who can help speed up development. We're in person by default, but flexible day-to-day, with an office in Farringdon.
Our stack is: TypeScript, SST, React, Postgres.
Package: £60K – £110K +meaningful equity as first hire

Hey HN! I'm working on Voop - a b2b phone network, leveraging eSIM & web-based UI we're turning company mobile connectivity into a SaaS. Has been really fun as an engineer getting into the telco stack - networks, switches and traffic routing take me back to university - and commercially it's been fun negotiating with the mobile networks to get wholesale access. Launching later this year in the UK and US next year, can't wait to get it off the ground.
One early achievement was buying voop.com - a very nice man in Arizona had held it since the 90s, and despite being retracted on whois, i worked out how to contact him via his custom ssl certificate on the empty holding site parked at the root domain. After a few emails and follow ups to get a response, I bought it for a not-cheap-but-not-bank-breaking amount.

As someone with only a cursory knowledge of crypto, what are the decentralised alternatives to the likes of Coinbase to buy/sell crypto assets?

I think a set of individuals having legal privilege by virtue of bloodline, as well as being state sponsored by tax revenue (regardless of absolute cost), is pretty anti-democratic. And yes, elected is literally democratic?

This is a neat idea, clever integration with metamask too. Quick question, I hadn't used metamask before - is it legit?
