The world isn’t exactly swimming with opportunities like this one, so we hope you’re paying close attention. This impressively-backed startup is looking to transform the digital landscape by creating a block chain trading platform, while solving some of the key issues that have hindered crypto’s mainstreaming. Luckily for you, they’re still building out the team, and one of the choicest roles is still up for grabs: blockchain engineer, meaning someone with serious Ethereum Virtual Machine chops who can step boldly into this frontier zone to create cutting-edge systems that currently don’t exist anywhere in the world. Does that shoe fit? If so, the first step toward slipping it on is to keep reading.
Nitty Gritty
It’s really quite simple, in that it isn’t simple at all: You’ll make excruciating study of a wildly complex set of business needs, turn to what you know about existing trading systems and blockchain applications, stir vigorously, and translate that mix into a set of solutions that will allow large blocks of crypto to be traded with the same kind of ease with which traders currently trade FX and other securities. Obviously you won’t be doing it alone; you’ll be part of an agile team refining requirements, doing sprint planning and task estimations, troubleshooting, coding and triage.
Hired Gun Profile
Just as the world is not swimming with opportunities like this one, neither is it swimming with people of your unique qualifications: You have an exceptionally strong systems background, you’ve been formulating tech strategy and architecture on a big scale for years now, and, crucially, a nice recent chunk of that experience centers on dApps, especially in Ethereum, and perhaps you’re no stranger to Bitcoin. You’ve got the tool set, top to bottom: server-side languages, client-side JavaScript frameworks, APIs of various stripes, web technologies, Git, Linux, html, and a nice gleaming pile of blockchain utensils: go-ethereum, Node.js, Python, Go, Rust.
You’re burning with the passion to create, you’re inspired and awed by Satoshi Nakamoto’s creation, you’re eager to usher the world into its post-blockchain future, and you feel uniquely qualified to do it. A natural problem-solver, you love the challenge of working within complex systems. You thrive on sharing ideas within a small, hard-charging team. You speak and write with great clarity. You’re ready.
Inside Skinny
Probably should go without saying, but experience in financial services/trading will give you a considerable leg up.
