Skills
- Fast learner. We’re looking for software engineers who thrive on learning new technologies and don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
- You have advanced knowledge of Blockchain and Distributed ledger technologies and at least one smart Contract scripting language (e.g. Solidity, CodeChain, Python, GoLang) and knowledge of or eagerness to learn: R, MongoDB / SQL
- Fearlessness. You think a working proof-of-concept is the best way to make a point.
- You strive on proving that speed and quality are not conflicting; that you can achieve both at the same time.
- Versatility. In addition to having an intimate knowledge of the whole web stack, you understand how all the pieces fit together (front-end, database, network layer, etc.) and how they impact the performance of your application.
- Strong architecture chops. You know how to build highly scalable, robust, and fault-tolerant services
- You stay up-to-date with the latest architectural trends across blockchain technologies shaping business innovation globally.
- Passion. You feel ownership over everything you ship; you’d never call code “released” until you’re confident it’s correct.
- You pride yourself on efficient monitoring, strong documentation, and proper test coverage.
- A team player. You believe that you can achieve more on a team — that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You rely on others’ candid feedback for continuous improvement and work easily on remote and distributed teams
- Design and business acumen. You understand requirements beyond the written word, your attention to details leads to a delightful user experience.
