Dept Jobs

Fullstack Engineer, Crypto

Dept is growing fast and we're looking for a fullstack developer interested in the potential that blockchains offer. Our philosophy is to hire smart, client facing engineers that can both understand our client’s business goals and write elegant code.

About Us:

Dept is a small but growing, tight-knit group of experienced engineers and designers that love building products with like-minded folks. Some of the things that we believe in:

• Being a maker is a creative job, and often requires discovering problems before they can be solved properly
• To be the best at your trade, you need to focus, so makers at Dept only work on one project at a time: no context switching, which can kill productivity
• Great communication is the key to any project, especially in a world with so much remote collaboration
• A healthy work/life balance is important, and you shouldn’t have to work nights or weekends to hit unrealistic deadlines
• Always learning is paramount; we're constantly learning/evolving through guild meetings, lunch & learns, conferences and practice

We focus on building great products with clients that we enjoy and respect. Our work has improved people's lives, been seen by millions of users, featured in app stores, had books written about it, featured in the press, received awards and, most importantly, brought delight to users.

We are growing fast and looking for individuals that are passionate about the development process and not timid about working directly with clients.

What will your day be like?

• You’ll help build complex apps that are making a material impact on the world and will be seen by millions of users, specifically, cutting edge apps and tools in the crypto space
• Learn and experiment with proof-of-stake blockchains, smart contracts, developer tools and DeFi applications
• Help teach us more about how best to solve problems in a decentralized world, and attract new blockchain-based projects thanks to our expertise
