Who are we?

IOG is a technology company focused on Blockchain research and development. We are renowned for our scientific approach to blockchain development, emphasizing peer-reviewed research and formal methods to ensure security, scalability, and sustainability.

We invest in the unknown, applying our curiosity and desire for positive change to everything we do. By fueling creativity, innovation, and progress within our teams, our products and services are designed for people to be fearless, to be changemakers.

What the role involves:

As a prototype engineer, you will be developing prototypes, models, and simulators at the edge between engineering and research. You will work closely with various stakeholders (architect, cryptographer, researcher, engineer) to help shape innovation projects:

• Design & develop systems from just ideas on paper.
• Present options and solutions at team and project meetings.
• Ongoing communication reflecting your project status on a periodic basis.

Requirements

Who you are:

• At least 3 years of experience in software development.
• Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals, including algorithms and data structures.
• Experience with blockchain technology is necessary.
• Experience in remote work and collaboration across different time zones.
• Experience in prototyping and developing ideas.

• Knowledge of the Rust programming language.
• Deep understanding of computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, and concurrency.
• Knowledge of blockchain technology and its core concepts, such as consensus mechanisms, cryptography, and smart contracts.
• Self-motivated and a self-learner.

Are you an IOGer?

Do you find yourself questioning the status quo? Do you tinker with ideas and long to turn those ideas into solutions? Are you able to spark thoughtful debates, bringing out the inquisitiveness in others? Does the promise of continuously growing excite you? Then get ready to reimagine everything you thought wasn’t possible because that’s what it means to be an IOGer - we don’t set limits, we break them.

Benefits:

• New starter package to buy hardware essentials (headphones, monitor, etc).
• Competitive PTO.
