You will work closely with leadership and a world-class team of distributed computing scientists, cryptographers, and virtual machine researchers who constantly push what’s possible with decentralized computing and identity.

Your responsibilities:

  • Extend the existing Internet Identity (II) and Verifiable Credentials (VC) platform with features and tooling.

  • Existing specifications and implementations of Verifiable Credentials (e.g., W3C VC Data model)
  • Front-end development with or without frameworks—ideally with Typescript. Not afraid of CSS.
  • Back-end languages such as Rust or other languages used by existing leading identity platforms (We are mainly a Rust company but Java or Go are also acceptable)
  • Developing secure identity products in web2 or web3 ecosystems
  • Product engineering: we are looking for someone that has built web3 or web2 apps all the way from requirements to deployment, testing and maintenance

You should also be passionate about:
