Bags helps creators, artists, and entrepreneurs fund their ideas with coins that anyone can trade. Whether you launch your own project or someone else launches a project for you, Bags gives you a way to earn from your ideas and grow your community.
About BagsBags is a Solana Token Launchpad, founded in 2023. In just a short time, we’ve become one of the top revenue-generating products in all of crypto.
We’re a very small team of 5 people today, building fast and shipping globally. Our mission is to provide the most reliable, low-latency infrastructure for Solana token launches and trading. With a globally distributed user base, every millisecond matters.
We’re now looking for our first DevOps hire—someone who will shape the foundation of our infrastructure, automation, and reliability culture. This is a rare opportunity to own infrastructure decisions from day one and build the systems that will scale Bags for years to come.
