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.
