Founding Blockchain Engineer (Go)

Job Description

Our goal is to authenticate a billion+ people, and everyone will get a free share of our digital currency. We are starting with an L2 optimistic roll-up to create a wallet for everyone who verifies themselves.

Our goal is to build the world's coolest and strongest technical team worldwide that would shape the culture of our open-source dev community.

This is a Remote position in the United States, there for you must be located in the United States.

• Needs to be able to dig deep, be creative and dynamic.
• With a hacker mindset!
  

Technical Aspects

1 - Cryptography

Knowledge of cryptography is not crucial. But in this case, a mathematical background is needed, to quickly learn.

In cryptography we use zero-knowledge proofs, must understand what asymmetric cryptography at basic level is, what are the limits.

We write layer-1 blockchain, there is not much cryptography, and it is not a fact that the person we are looking for will write it, but it is necessary to understand the basics.

2 - Go

You may have started writing in Go or C++ or other languages, understand how the network layer works, and memory management. There must be a basic understanding of computer science.

Not just a person who will take all major frameworks and write a backend. Must understand memory on Go, understand how Goroutine works internally. (If he does not, he has not written in Go.).

3 - What you get when you join the project:

• engineering complexity - we do things that no one else is doing and that no one else has produced before.
• you solve a super important problem for the entire world - it is the next big thing.
• equity (only 2 places left for engineers to get a share).
• only now is the opportunity to join the team as a FOUNDING engineer.
  

Roles / Responsibilities

As an early team member, you will get a chance to shape both the foundations of our product, backend architecture, and team culture. We will measure your success by your ability to ship fast, learn quickly, and contribute to our culture of continuous improvement. Additionally, you will:

• Design and build server-side Human L2 and blockchain architecture (using Golang, AWS, Azure).
• Write technical documentation.
• Manage the server-side technical team.
• Develop and manage well-functioning decentralized databases.

What we do, in simple terms:

• We make a blockchain that runs on the devices of everyone involved in that blockchain.
• We make it so that everyone has a voice of their own. For being verified in the system, each person receives a reward, Human Dollars, and that currency is distributed to everyone on the planet (since we expect to verify everyone).
• The user gets money for taking the time to verify and for being a member of the network, for helping to verify the next transactions that will take place inside the blockchain.
• As a result, we have a decentralized system of unique identities that can be used for anything on the Internet where there is fraud (bots, etc.). We kill bots this way.
• There will be integration with social networks and other systems - you will be able to authorize through Human (to understand whether you are a bot or a unique person).
• Since the system is decentralized, this means that people own their own personal information and there is no situation that one company owns the data of eight billion people, this is dangerous.
