Senior Software Engineer (Distributed systems, blockchain)

Bee team:

A swarm is a system of peer-to-peer networked nodes for a decentralized storage and communication service.

A swarm could shape the future towards a self-sovereign global society and permissionless open markets. On Swarm, applications run autonomously yet securely in a planetary-scale deployment and execution environment.

Bee is a Swarm client implemented in Go. It’s the basic building block for the Swarm Network.

Bee provides low-level constructs for file storage, feeds, key-value stores and untraceable communication, through solid, well-tested code delivered in an agile manner.

Key technologies are Go, libp2p, protobuf, leveldb, and go-ethereum, as well as various cryptographic libraries.

Your role:

• Development of the reference Swarm implementation in Go aka Bee
• Developing domain-specific knowledge and expertise in the Swarm incentive layer implementation
• Bringing code up to spec
• Delivering well-tested code
• Conducting thorough code reviews of your peers

Your profile:

• Strong understanding of distributed systems.
• Familiarity with blockchain principles and considerations for application design is a plus.
• Experience with libp2p
• You don’t need to Google Solid principles
• You can express yourself fluently in English, both verbally and in writing
• You are available around the CET timezone
• You manage your own time effectively and respect time constraints
• You like to take the initiative and can work remotely

We appreciate:

• Familiarity with Go-Ethereum
• Knowledge of Solidity
• A passionate open-source contributor
• Acquaintance with cryptographic concepts
• Knowledge of Kubernetes, Grafana, Jaeger and OpenTracing

Swarm offers/Team perks:

• An open, flat and transparent work environment
• 100% remote-friendly
• Flexible working hours
• We care about our swarm: Incentives through BZZ, Swarm’s token
