Job Description

Writing code for an open-source blockchain requires a different approach from closed-source commercial software. It is essential to adhere to high-quality coding standards (both for syntax and styling) while producing top-notch, comprehensive unit tests. Extreme care must be taken to reduce the presence of bugs (or undefined behaviors) when crafting solutions. There is also close collaboration with third-party auditors, who will scrutinize the codebase on a regular basis or in the event of a release. As a Senior C++ Engineer in our MainChain team, you will be a key player in implementing the base code of the Horizen blockchain. You will work closely with an international team of specialists in a very stimulating and innovative work environment. You will be the creator of highly-readable and measurably performant software, while adopting methodologies such as Scrum, test-driven development (TDD), and the best programming patterns.

What You'll Own

The growth and evolution of technologically innovative blockchain projects.
The full software development lifecycle of our core codebase, including design, development, and deployment of foundational software.
The delivery of cutting-edge technologies with global impact. You will join that small group of people who really know what the blockchain world is all about.
