Role

This is a hands-on role for a highly experienced Rust engineer whose objective is to build the next generation of blockchain infrastructure. Qredo has a novel plan to build infrastructure that is fit for purpose in the modern financial system. Qredo’s novel solution will aim to facilitate high throughput transactions that are verified more efficiently by validators, than current schemes proposed within the blockchain ecosystem (these are not conventional proof of work/of stake schemas).

The Rust Engineer will focus on the security, stability, scalability, and flexibility of Qredo’s blockchain infrastructure. The engineer will need to apply concepts from computer science/cryptographic/mathematical research to the software they will be tasked with building. This may mean reading research papers and reading mathematics.
