A Quick overview of Archie

Archie is creating the future of credit by building ArchCredit, a universal credit line, and the Archie Score, a credit scoring system for Web3.

We’re starting with the Archie Card, a crypto-collateralized credit card that lets you collateralize crypto, spend fiat, and earn crypto rewards.

We’re backed by big names in the Payments and the DeFi space, who have a history of picking winners!

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to be part of the early team; you’ll work hand-in-hand with Luka, our first engineer, and bring Archie to life! You will set up, manage, and lead putting together the first version of the platform, including front-end, back-end, and on-chain operations. We’re a lean team; you’ll have ownership of building from Day 1.

Archie bridges Web2 and Web3, and so will our architecture and our work. We use the following tools/paradigms:

Our core devOps tools include AWS + Kubernetes (EKS), Helm, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub), and HashiCorp products, such as Terraform and Vault.

We use Fireblocks and Chainalysis to create custodial wallets. After the first version of Archie, we will allow users to bring their noncustodial wallets to the service, starting on the Solana and Ethereum blockchains.

We’re first releasing as a web app in the name of speed, with the goal of releasing mobile apps shortly after. Archie heavily utilizes our marketing website will be built using Gatsby connected with Sanity CMS. Our web apps will be built using NX monorepo setup using ReactJs. The backend for our web apps is written in NestJs.

We will be dealing with funds on-chain and investing some funds into DeFi protocols, creating and managing liquidity tokens on Solana, and issuing verifiable credentials. You will help explore and put together the early versions of these services. Ideally, you know a little bit about these paradigms, or more importantly are curious to learn a lot, lot more.

Requirements:

1. Good knowledge of ReactJs for front end and NestJs for backend
2. You know how to write unit/integration tests using Jest
3. You have good knowledge of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL)
4. You have basic knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and Github Actions
5. You are familiar with the Web3 ecosystem and the values of Web3; knowledge of how wallets and liquidity tokens work is highly desirable
6. A sense of humor and a desire for autonomy
7. You are not too opinionated and you are open to exploring new technologies
8. 20 years Web3 experience. You’re so into crypto that you were into it before BTC was conceptualized /s

Why work with us

Archie, the Archie Card, and the Archie Score bridge crypto and traditional finance to make crypto useful in the real world today. Archie is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in people’s lives while still being able to explore Web3.

We are early-stage so, real talk, the work will be demanding and stressful at times. But we’re fun, we value and listen to each other, we believe in what we’re building, and we want to work with awesome and ambitious people who want to take the lead in building brave new concepts for this brave new world.

We’re backed by big names in payments and DeFi who have stellar track records in picking winners.

What you’ll get:

1. Competitive salary and equity
2. You’ll be on the cutting edge of disseminating the Web3 and crypto ethos to the early majority; this means you’ll have an opportunity to learn a ton about the architecture, the product, and the mechanisms that bring the complex Web3 world to the mainstream
3. Your decisions, output, attitude, and vibes will define our company; you will be one of the earliest team members, and we want you to be proud of the culture we’re creating — we certainly are!
4. A fun, hard-working, passionate, and dedicated work environment; we love the work we’re doing at the intersection of crypto, finance, payments, and identity.
5. A no-BS workplace; we value each other and don’t have time for politics. We run towards conversations to find clarity and paths forward, and we think about how our work sets up each other for success.
6. We’re a remote team - you will get to work at the place that makes you most comfortable. We’ll look to meet once a quarter, and we promise that you’ll be looking forward to those gatherings.
