A bit more about our Multinational, High-Performance (and primarily remote) Team

Join a highly talented multicultural team that is based all over the world, including Berlin, Amsterdam, San Francisco and Warsaw. As stated above, we make remote working possible by embracing our ethos, yet many teams also travel to meet in person every 1-2 months. We all want high degrees of autonomy and flexibility to make life and work fun, but transparency, accountability/ownership are the requisites.

Requirements

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

- 7+ years of software engineering experience.

- Proficiency in Rust programming, with a strong grasp of its paradigms, memory management, and concurrency patterns.

- Demonstrated experience with Substrate framework and blockchain technology.

- Experience with basic cryptographic primitives (hashing, signing)

- Knowledge of blockchain architecture, consensus algorithms, and decentralized technologies.

Tech stack: 

- JS/TypeScript

- Rust

Nice to have:

- Golang

- Linux scripting

Beyond the ownership of identity and digital assets, data is the next key element that needs to become self-custodied by every consumer and be made available to applications on demand. This data element is the biggest missing piece for web3 and dApps. 

The true decentralization of web3 has served as the singular core purpose and mission behind Cere’s data protocol, the DDC (Decentralized Data Cloud), along with its blockchain mainnet powered by the $CERE token, which is designed to provide security and utility to the Cere DDC.
