  • Communication and collaboration with a globally distributed team
  • End-to-end ownership of infrastructures (for handling telemetry data, for performing testing, etc)

    • Experience with building, scaling, and operating infrastructures
    • Experience with concurrency or parallelism
    • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or related fields is a must
      We'd Love If You Have:
      
      • Familiarity with internals of other blockchains
      • Virtualization knowledge (setting up and using virtual machines)
      • Knowledge of algorithms and data structures
      • Good coding skills
      • Experience debugging complex concurrent systems
        Here's What Our Interview Process Looks Like:
        Depending on calendar availability, from the first stage to the final stage, we do our best to keep the entire process to under three weeks. Our interviews take place via Zoom and typically consists of the following stages:
        
        • Internal Recruiter Call (30 to 45 minutes)
        • Meet with the Hiring Manager (30-45 minutes)
        • Technical Interviews (4 x 60 minutes)
        • Culture & Values Interview (30 to 45 minutes)
          Please let us know if you require any special requirements for your interview and we'll do our best to accommodate.

          This is a fully remote role, so that your timezone matches or overlaps with our leadership for this role, you'll ideally be located in the Americas or Europe.

          Innovate and deliver-so our customers can build. We deliver new solutions for real, often urgent, customer needs. Practical over hype. We uphold our standards of excellence while balancing velocity and pragmatism.

          Work as a team of empathetic humans. We practice mutual respect, open communication, humility and collaboration. We are kind and empathetic. We are welcoming towards diversity in all forms, including differences of perspective.
          
          Never break trust. Integrity is rare-and valuable-in this space. Reputation is hard to build and easy to break.
