Senior Rust Developer for Ethereum Classic

At Ethereum Classic we develop a next gen implementation of Blockchain platform with the main focus on flexibility and Smart Contract execution on blockchain. We’re trying to change how distributed applications will work in a decentralized world, join us to be part of something special.

Ethereum Classic is an independent community driven blockchain continued after EF moved their blockchain to a separate fork by introducing censoring transactions into their blockchain. Ethereum Classic community opposed that fork and kept original chain, because it believes in Blockchain Immutability and Code Is Law principles of blockchain. Since the fork Ethereum Classic clients and tools are supported by community developers.

You’ll be committing and sending Pull Requests to Open Source repositories for Ethereum Classic and related projects (such as EthCore Parity, which is maintained by an independent organization), as well as develop new Open Source projects from the scratch. You’ll be working close to ETC community and participate with other members on daily basis.

Projects

We’re maintaining and adding new features to Parity (written in Rust) and Geth (written in Go) Ethereum clients. But main your main focus will be on Parity support for Ethereum Classic and new projects which going to be built on top of Rust programming language.

There are also couple of projects build using JavaScript, as well as Go, Python, C and Java are used.

Who we’re looking for

We need a person to lead our projects, who can make architectural decisions and set goals and priorities. He/she should have a prior experience with blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and be comfortable to work in a distributed team as a lead.
