"The Foundation is providing increased resources and support to expand the core development team of Tezos in Paris," the Foundation explained. "This will further expand this world-class team to approximately 35-40 individuals. Recruitment is already underway.”
The move comes just over a week after the group's board was reshuffled, a development which saw former president Johann Gevers stepping down and community member Ryan Jesperson taking his place.
Days later, the Tezos Foundation board expanded to include Polychain founder Olaf Carlson-Wee, Alstom Digital Mobility senior vice president Pascal Cléré, Valais Academic Association co-president Marylène Micheloud and venture capitalist Hubertus Thonhauser.
The hiring push is perhaps indicative of the change of pace following the resolution of a months-long governance dispute that roiled the Tezos project, pitting founders Arthur and Kathleen Breitman against Gevers. Amidst the back-and-forth, a series of class-action lawsuits were filed by participants in the $232 million Tezos token sale, which took place last summer.
