Job Overview

As a Software Engineer your role will focus on the development and maintenance of the Acala DeFi primitives; a trustless staking derivative (liquid DOT), a multi-collateralized stablecoin backed by cross-chain assets (aUSD), and an AMM DEX – all with micro gas fees that can be paid in any token. You’ll be working in a team that delivers production level code and you'll contribute new development ideas to our ongoing projects. You won't be working alone, and you'll have a lot of support from Bryan Chen and the other members of the Engineering Team. You can read more about our team in the section below.

Our ideal candidate will have worked on blockchain code before, but perhaps not in a production/deployment environment. They may also have come from an unsuccessful blockchain-incubator program. We're expecting to hire an experienced Rust Engineer who is familiar with Substrate, but we’re open to a wide range of candidates that might have the right combination of secure application development experience and a mature level of interest in decentralised applications. If you're willing to attempt a short Rust evaluation exercise for us, then we want to hear from you.

Competitive Salary | Full Time | Contract | Remote anywhere

What you'll do

  • Maintain & support Substrate-based blockchain applications
  • Develop new DeFi primitives and improve the existing Acala suite
  • Write high-performance high-security Rust code from specifications
  • Make security a top priority and create high-quality software documentation

What it takes

  • Senior-level Rust / C++ development experience (5+yrs)
  • Strong knowledge of secure and scalable software development techniques
  • Familiar with common data structure and crypto algorithms
  • Passion about decentralised applications and the DeFi future
  • Ability to work independently with little supervision

What we offer

  • Competitive contract-based compensation (you'll have to invoice us from wherever you are)
  • Flexible working hours within Pacific timezones
  • Collaborative, transparent and empowering work culture
  • Meaningful work on creating better technologies for a fairer future
  • Opportunity to work in a multinational, high-performance team with diverse backgrounds
