Blockstream was founded in 2014 by Dr. Adam Back and a group of fellow cryptographers and engineers passionate about Bitcoin and its potential to change the future of finance. Focusing on building fundamental Bitcoin infrastructure, Blockstream quickly grew into one of the leading technology power houses of the industry.
At Blockstream, we’re building solutions on Bitcoin that will disrupt the existing financial system. We imagine a world where individuals and businesses can easily access a global, permissionless system to secure their money, use it every day, and invest it or put it to work. In pursuit of our expansive vision, we’ve built a full stack of innovative products on top of the Bitcoin protocol, from layer 2 projects like Liquid and Core Lightning, to end user software and hardware wallets like Green and Jade. Our brand stands for innovation in the Bitcoin community, and we’re growing our team to accelerate the future. Come join us in our mission!
We are looking for a Lead Engineer to manage the development of our in house mining management platform. This role is focused on building backend infrastructure but will liaise with the frontend. As a Lead Engineer, you will be responsible for oversight and engineering planning of new, expanded, or enhanced platforms. This is a key hands-on role within our Mining Operations product engineering team with the opportunity to develop, deliver, and support innovative products in a quickly growing and exciting industry. We are looking for an engineer who is a “big-picture” thinker who thrives on creating application architecture and solving challenging technical problems.
What You’ll Be Doing (Responsibilities):
- Own the software development life cycle which includes establishing the scope, business requirements, technology analysis, development best practices, and testing requirements
- Design, develop, debug, integrate, deploy, and maintain applications that meet requirements and business objectives
- Works with other functional areas to establish a design, technology, product development strategy and influence and drive decisions to meet development standards and launch within project timelines
- Implement software engineering solutions to meet requirements, architectural direction, and adoption efforts
- Determine root cause for the most complex software issues and develop practical, efficient, and permanent technical solutions.
- Code (and responsible for team’s code) and successfully perform unit and integration testing of software to ensure proper and efficient execution, as well as compliance to the business and technical requirements
- Work in Node.js, MySQL, and Mongo with deep knowledge on basic algorithms and other Document and Key-Value data structures and ability to adopt new languages and architecture patterns needed for the work
- Resolve problems that arise with production applications in a timely manner to ensure the efficient and proper functioning of application components
- Migrate applications to quality assurance and/or the production environment, or perform quality assurance as necessary
- Capable of coaching, leading, and communicating a vision for best practices, coding standards, automation, test driven and behavioral driven development
Our current stack:
- Backend: Typescript, Websockets
- Frontend: Typescript
- Node.js
- Google Cloud
- Docker, Kubernetes
What We Look For In You (Required Qualifications):
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science, engineering, or related field or equivalent experience
- 10+ years of experience in product software design and development engineering
- 5+ years of experience acting in lead, supervisory, or mentor capacity
- Experience working in Google Cloud environments
- Solid understanding of SQL and Database Schema
- Experience leading multiple concurrent IT projects (e.g., capacity planning, application migrations, etc.)
- Experience in the full software development lifecycle and end-to-end testing
- Must be committed to incorporating security into all decisions and daily job responsibilities
What is the meaning of Layer 2?
Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)
The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum
Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:
- Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
- State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
- Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
- Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
- Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
- Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
- Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
- Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
