Job description

Empoorio was founded on the belief that people should own their digital identity — cryptographically secured, portable across services, and anchored on EmpoorioChain without platform lock-in. Today we are building KryptoOS, the sovereign identity layer for wallets, cloud, and enterprise integrators worldwide.

EmpooScan is the public explorer for on-chain identity events — resolution traces, anchor activity, and network analytics. We are looking for a talented, driven engineer to advance EmpooScan capabilities and deliver production-quality identity infrastructure. If you thrive in high-ownership environments where correctness and privacy matter, this role will be a strong next step in your career.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain SDKs, APIs, and developer tooling for issuers, holders, and verifiers
• Ship production features with observability, integration tests, and clear upgrade paths
• Partner with ecosystem teams on credential schemas and end-to-end integration flows
• Improve developer experience — samples, CLI workflows, and CI-friendly test harnesses
• Participate in on-call rotation for public identity services where applicable
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering, security, or distributed systems (1+ for specialist IC tracks)
• Ability to work autonomously in a remote-first, async collaboration environment
• Fluency in English for documentation, reviews, and partner communication

Preferred skills and experience

• Experience with W3C Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, or OIDC4VCI / OIDC4VP
• Contributions to Rust, TypeScript, Python, or Dart codebases used in production
• Exposure to Substrate, Polkadot ecosystem, or blockchain anchoring patterns
• Background in privacy engineering, applied cryptography, or formal security reviews
• Prior work with wallet, fintech, or enterprise identity integrations

Additional requirements

• Willing to overlap with EU and Americas time zones for critical releases and incidents
• Able to travel up to 10% for team summits, partner workshops, or conferences
• On-site collaboration expected for local team sessions in addition to remote work
