• Work in an ever evolving micro-service architecture.
• Collaborate closely on agile teams of designers, developers, and product managers to build new features and applications.
• Write automated tests around your code and leverage type checkers for maximal reliability.
• Research and educate the team on new technologies, from theoretical blockchain features to third party integrations.

What you have:

• A proven history of writing scalable, modular, and resilient code.
• Excitement and drive to learn new technologies.
• Extensive experience in at least one of our four (Typescript, JS, Haskell, Rust) major languages, and willingness to dive into the others as needed.
• Comfort and willingness to transition between front and back end.
• A working knowledge of AWS.
• Interest in helping to develop less experienced team members.
• Respect for quality assurance and the ability to write robust integration and unit tests.
• Understanding of Bitcoin and Ethereum fundamentals, e.g...
• What is the purpose of mining?
• How is Bitcoin sent from one address to another?
• How does this differ from Ethereum?
• Familiarity with cryptographic primitives like hashing, macs, PK-crypt.
• Excellent references and a history of trust in former careers

• Opportunity to experiment with new tools and bring your own input to the company vision.
• Company intramural sports teams, ‘Culture Committee’, and company outings.
