Software Engineer

Role

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, capable Software Engineer to join our team. You’ll be working on our metaverse and application infrastructure:

• Maintaining our backend services in Rust.

• Integrating and maintaining our web presence in React.

• Writing metaverse infrastructure in .NET (inside Unity) and our netcode (TBD).

• Writing code to interact with blockchain technologies to provide control and durability for customer transactions.

• Whilst this is an individual contributor role, an ability to mentor and manage others and improve the skills of the organization generally would be an advantage.

You will need to be self-starting, happy working on your own, seeking guidance where necessary, and prepared to deliver working solutions. We develop on Linux.

You will need to be happy working in a variety of programming languages, though we mostly try to use Rust where we can for the backend, Dart/Rust for mobile applications, and typescript for web presence and where required to interface with other code.

Requirements

• A good degree in a numerate subject (preferably computer science).

• A good knowledge of computer science and ability to read and understand code quickly.

• Good knowledge of a variety of programming languages and systems, including the ability to learn rapidly.

• A willingness to at least learn how to write smart contracts and interact with, if not implement, blockchains.

• Good proficiency with Linux.

• A working knowledge of GCP and Kubernetes is an advantage.

Experience of netcode, of metaverse or game development, and of backend service development in rust would be advantages, but are not requirements for the role.

Location

We work remotely at Zilliqa, but get together regularly; we would like you to be in reach of London, Dubai, or Singapore (and have a small cluster in Cambridge). However, we are prepared to make exceptions for outstanding candidates.
