The Experience
We are the world’s first fully decentralized, Ethereum blockchain-based virtual
social world, built, governed and owned by its users. It’s a truly unique
ecosystem with its own decentralized autonomous organization, currency,
marketplace and system of property – and it’s growing fast! New creations are
added daily by creators who use both open source and proprietary developer
tools to make games, puzzles, scenes, artworks – whatever their imaginations
allow. Via their personal avatars, users attend live music events, conferences,
exhibitions, dance parties and other experiences every day of the year. What
began as a proof-of-concept for assigning ownership of digital real estate to
users of a blockchain is now an immersive, ever-expanding and richly detailed
metaverse, where the world is what you make it.
The Challenge
As such, we’re looking for an experienced back-end Engineer who will bring
best practices to drive the restructuring of the Explorer’s code, enhance the
collaboration with our community of developers and join us in a long term
journey to evolve our back-end code to keep it as a state of the art product in
the metaverse ecosystem.
The ideal candidate should feel comfortable and excited about:
Iterating fast and creating innovative solutions to complex problems
Leading the development of the Explorer back-end code
Dealing with existing code and products to make them more efficient, scalable,
performant and maintainable
Interacting with other teams and stakeholders to understand the short, medium
and long term platform goals and bring them to life by leading the
transformation of our current tools and create new ones in a hands-on fashion
Understanding distributed problems and creating innovative solutions for them
Collaborating with the evolution of our distributed network of Catalyst servers,
our in-house solution to provide the required infrastructure for our decentralized
metaverse.
