Championing advancements in blockchain technology infrastructure, Blockstream is the leading company extending Bitcoin at the protocol level to support a broad range of new asset types and financial markets and solving scalability, interoperability, and security issues for on-chain and off-chain transactions.
The Blockstream team is working on core innovations in the Lightning network and Layer 2 scalability technology generally. Lightning is one of the key technologies that will allow bitcoin to scale and, along with other technologies, products, and services under development at Blockstream, will impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
We are looking for a peer to join our small, distributed development team. We have a one of the leading, standards-compliant Lightning implementations and work collegially with the broader open-source Lightning community to develop those standards. You will be actively mentored by, and learn alongside, Christian Decker (whose PhD was on bitcoin micropayment networks) and Rusty Russell, one of the creators of the Linux OS. You will influence, not only the codebase, but also the product design, features, and architecture.
We are looking for a motivated engineer with strong CS background and C programming experience. We would love to support you in the following ways:
- Mentoring
- Flexible work hours
- Telecommute option
- Conference attendance support
- Educational options
If you want to share the excitement and satisfaction of an inclusive community, learn a lot, and have a great deal of fun, please contact us, even if you don’t think you have all the skills (yet!).
