Senior Blockchain Developer

The project is the pioneering decentralized AI-based Q&A platform built on blockchain, rewarding users for contributions with cryptocurrency. Serving communities across Web3, our vision is to become the primary Q&A resource (akin to StackOverflow) but with a focus beyond Web3, prioritizing user data ownership and monetization.

What you know

• Cryptography Fundamentals: Demonstrate a strong understanding of cryptography fundamentals, including encryption, hashing algorithms, and zero-knowledge proofs
• Blockchain technology: Possess a solid understanding of blockchain technology at the protocol level, including consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and blockchain data structures
• Smart Contract Development: Hands-on experience in building and deploying smart contracts using Solidity
• Scalability Solutions: Understand the principles of Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions, Rollups, and WebAssembly, and their applications in blockchain scalability
• Development Tools: Be proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript, [ethers|web3].js, Docker, and GraphQL for building and interacting with decentralized applications
• Web3 Best Practices: Familiarity with best practices for building applications in the Web3 ecosystem, including the appropriate toolset and libraries such as [ethers|web3].js
• Nice to Have Experience: While not required, experience with Kubernetes, Nomad, Tor/Onion routing, and Arweave would be considered a plus

Role Specifics

• Help build best-in-class technical solutions for current and future products based on cryptography and distributed ledgers
• Implementation of system design with a focus on Resilience, Scalability, Security, and Decentralization
• Leverage prior experience in the development of decentralized systems with blockchain technology to build a solution for a Web3 developer community
• Develop solutions around event-based architecture, virtualization, and cloud providers

You are an Agile Team Member

Job #1 is to be part of a self-organizing team – a team that solves complex challenges and builds working software. Being a good team member means you contribute to its success by:
