Cartesi Jobs

Hello, Back End Developer.

Want to create a better world with The Blockchain OS?

We’ve taken 30 years of software development and given it a new home: The Blockchain OS. To the makers and mavericks, the dreamers and the pioneers, we say welcome.

*Who we are *

The Blockchain OS is a decentralized layer-2 infrastructure that supports Linux and mainstream software components. For the first time, developers can code scalable smart contracts with rich software tools, libraries, and the services they’re used to, bridging the gap between mainstream software and blockchain.

Cartesi is enabling millions of new startups and their developers to use The Blockchain OS and bring Linux applications on board. With a groundbreaking virtual machine, optimistic rollups, and side-chains, Cartesi paves the way for developers of all kinds, to build the next generation of blockchain apps.

Why we are here

Blockchain technology is all about returning control to the people and creating a more transparent society. It’s about value and trust, replacing old with new, separating the corrupt from the transparent, and dispersing the challenges of centralized systems. It places control back into the hands of the many.

An OS is needed to create this new world. Our digital revolution would not be possible without operating systems. Software that has been developed for decades on platforms like Linux underpins all of the applications and services we use every day.

Now, a new Web of value, also known as Web 3, is being built on the Blockchain. Operating systems are unfortunately lost in the shift from the old web to the new value web. As a result, it's difficult for programmers and designers to work together to create a digital environment that is genuinely decentralized and inclusive.

Blockchains must have a good operating system in order to reach their full potential and create a new world.

“Cartesi bridges the gap between mainstream software and blockchain, welcoming millions of developers to the blockchain.”
