Clearmatics is an established
blockchain R&D company in London, UK. We have good ties to the Open
Source / Ethereum community, our Lead Engineer works closely with the
Ethereum Foundation, and the company is an EEA Member. We're funded and
have revenue, so we won't be doing any ICOs. We're looking to hire
multiple senior engineers to expand our team. Our stack is Ethereum-like
so familiarity and passion with the space is key.
Some of the
areas we tackle include scalability through cryptography (zkSNARKs,
multiparty computation, private transactions/assets), protocol design
(e.g. proof relays/pegs), formally verified smart contracts, and
type-safe & performant distributed virtual machine architectures.
Requirements
We
are looking for people who are not afraid of unknowns and enjoy working
with others to problem solve and break new ground. You should have more
than a passing interest in the Ethereum or cryptocurrency space, with
contributions to Open Source Projects being a distinct plus. You should
be able to reason about technical problems, argue thoughtfully and
contribute in a team setting. If you want rock star or ninja in your job
title then this isn't the right job for you.
We have a lot of
hard problems to solve. If you'd like to make significant contributions
to the blockchain ecosystem and think you are a match then we'd like to
hear from you.
