Role

We are looking for rust engineers to help us build the Webb Protocol. You will help design and implement core functionality of our privacy bridge protocol and get hands on experience building with zero-knowledge tools in a variety of languages. The right person has at least 2+ years of experience building rust applications in the blockchain industry and at least 1+ years developing smart contract or distributed systems protocols.

The main area of ownership for a blockchain engineer at Webb is to:

• Design and develop rust-based smart contracts that facilitate the Webb Protocol.
• Integrate zero-knowledge tools into core blockchain protocol modules.
• Write specs of modules and milestones for the protocol team.
• Mentor and provide support to junior developers.
• Read open-source libraries and APIs and contribute to open-source repos.

Background

• Proficiency in Rust
• Proficiency programming with open-source libraries and blockchain APIs such as web3 / PolkadotJS
• Understanding of blockchain technology and cryptoeconomic protocols
• Ability to write very high quality, well-tested code

A plus

• Experience programming with WASM.
• Experience building cryptographic and distributed protocols
• Experience building zero-knowledge proof systems and/or applications.

Organisation

We are a fully remote team and are incubated by Commonwealth Labs, a venture incubator. We work on slack and use Github to handle task allocation. At Webb you'll have a tremendous amount of freedom to help shape the narrative and we don't have a ton of bureaucracy, you will be free and incentivized to do your best work on your own time.
