  • Fluency with algorithms and data structures.
  • The ability to quickly learn new languages and technologies.
  • The ability to write clean yet efficient code.
  • The Creativity to come up with proof of concept from high level design, even in an often ambiguous environment.
  • Self motivated to set priorities and methodically make progress toward goals.
  • The ability to communicate effectively and convey your ideas when discussing technical topics with team members.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field.

We'd Love If You Have:

  • Experience working on all levels of a Layer 1 blockchain.
  • Experience with concurrency, parallelism and distributed systems.
  • Experience with consensus protocols and other blockchains.
  • Experience with Node.js and TypeScript, or languages like C, C++, Rust or GO.

What We Do

Shardeum is a sharded EVM-based L1 smart contract platform with a mission to enable decentralization for everyone. Currently, decentralized applications are limited by rising gas fees and long transaction queues as a result of blockchains that can’t scale. Our team envisions a world where decentralized applications are adopted globally, enabling a more equitable society with less power put in the hands of a few centralized entities.

To accelerate the adoption of dApps Shardeum is building the most advanced iteration of a state sharded smart contract platform. Dynamic state sharding enables Shardeum to increase TPS with each node added to the network. We are obsessed with making the vision for a decentralized future a reality.
