KYOS Team Opportunities

We are seeking ambitious, passionate and capable people – with a strong interest in Web3 – to join the KYOS team in realizing our vision to improve the lives of millions in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and other regions of the world.

About KYOS

KYOS, based in the US, is positioned to become one of the most innovative and impactful Web3 ecosystems in the world: disrupting how young adults learn, organizations hire, and educators teach. Inspired by Koios, the Greek titan of intelligence and farsight, KYOS will use ubiquitous technologies to equip motivated learners, particularly in developing countries, with highly employable skills they need to grow their careers with employers in their home country and around the world.

We are adopting the latest Web3 technologies, creative gamified learning methods, and tokenomics to enable Learners to *Earn to Learn* and secure jobs with socially responsible employers that value “power” skills, not just degrees and diplomas. Our vision is to help millions of less privileged young adults around the world unlock better economic opportunities, starting in the Philippines where we will launch the ecosytem in 2023.

We are seeking passionate team members who share our vision — from around the world and a range of disciplines — to design, build and launch KYOS. Working closely with the KYOS Founders — senior technology and business executives with decades of corporate and start-up experience in the US and Asia — you will have the opportunity to be part of a visionary team reinventing learning, teaching, and recruitment that will change the lives of millions and create a better world.
