The Role
As a Blockchain Engineer at Harmony, you will develop a secure, scalable, and decentralized blockchain, manage a network of 1000 nodes, and optimize system performance for high transaction requests. Your role requires strong communication and collaboration skills in a fast-paced startup environment.
Summary Generated by Built In

Harmony is an open blockchain with data sharding and fast finality. Social games and community AI can use our onchain tokens for micro-payments, smart contracts for market pricing, and zero-knowledge proofs for data privacy.


Harmony’s mission is to scale trust and create a radically fair economy. Our platform is decentralized, scalable and secure to settle any transactions without trusted parties.


🚀 Building a (Rocket)Ship

We are a Day-1 startup. Blockchains are becoming the foundation of the global economy, yet their adoption is at only 1%. That means that you as a pioneer and developer are shaping the future with 10X impact. Harmony is a community-driven project, a network with hundreds of applications, and a team wearing crazy ambitions on their sleeves. Because the invincible summer awaits!


For engineers, we value your deep understanding of how bytes work. You are a tool maker, a system hacker, and a math nerd all in ONE. Your typical day involves prototyping a top-conference research paper, debugging and profiling in hexdecimal, or writing updates to coordinate asynchronously with tens of engineers in the open. Building a blockchain is like jumping off the cliff while assembling the plane engine on the fly – but, if you can thrive in chaos, why NOT?


For creatives, we approve your obsession with user experience. You are a product designer, a brand manager, and an industry analyst all in ONE. Your typical day involves studying what delights and what hurts through hard metrics, writing long-form narratives on the why's and the do's, or scrumming tasks for a product launch to iterate with millions of users. Building a community is like sharing your blue heart while keeping the culture alive for decades – but, if this is your dream of 50 years, start NOW?

What We Do

Harmony is a fast and scalable blockchain. Harmony recently launched on Binance and shipped Day ONE Mainnet. We are crazily recruiting Rust/Go language enthusiasts, protocol researchers and database hackers. Apply at harmony.one/careers!

See https://harmony.one/whitepaper for our latest research and roadmap.

Harmony is a fast and secure blockchain with key innovations in state sharding and peer-to-peer networking. Its sharding uses secure proof-of-stake and decentralized randomness, and its networking achieves optimal cross-shard routing and fast block propagation.

Harmony helps businesses build marketplaces of fungible tokens (such as energy credits and loyalty points) and non-fungible assets (such as game collectibles and real estate).

Harmony is applying zero-knowledge proofs for data sharing while preserving the consumer’s privacy. Common industry use cases include ad exchanges, credit ratings and many other data consortia that would otherwise take many years to form among competing companies.
