Head of Governance – House of Stake

New Today

House of Stake (HoS) is the NEAR Foundation’s flagship experiment in transparent, data-driven, and eventually AI-augmented, on-chain governance. Your mandate is simple but ambitious: design, operate, and continuously improve the governance system that keeps HoS—and by extension the NEAR ecosystem—credible, resilient, and ahead of the curve.

You will be both strategist and operator:

If you thrive at the intersection of mechanism design, community building, and product execution, you’ll find few playgrounds as wide-open as this one.

What you’ll own

Area

What success looks like

Governance architecture

A living framework—backed by clear specs, metrics, and docs—that delegates and token-holders trust and use.

FastNear, Gauntlet, Agora, and future partners ship on time, on-budget, and against well-defined KPIs.

Frontend, backend, and smart-contract upgrades roll out smoothly, with zero governance downtime.

Community stewardship

Delegates feel heard, newcomers can onboard themselves, and public discourse stays civil, fact-based, and transparent.

Thought leadership

HoS is cited as a reference model at conferences, on panels, and in research papers; you’re the go-to voice.

AI-governance transition

A realistic, phased plan to integrate AI agents into proposal drafting, signal aggregation, and dispute resolution.
