Rust Job: Founding Blockchain Engineer

Summary

Human is an identity layer of verified real and unique people to remove bots online. With the recent Elon's claims that Twitter needs to remove bots from the platform, we believe that the world needs a single space of verified identities, but also to have it decentralized and allow these identities to transact with each other. Our goal is to authenticate a billion+ people, and everyone will get a free share of our digital currency. We're starting with an L2 optimistic rollup to create a wallet for everyone who verifies themselves. We're looking to build our blockchain on top of the proof-of-identity consensus mechanism later. Our goal is to build the world's coolest and strongest technical team worldwide that would shape the culture of our open source dev community.

Candidate Level:

• Definitely not a junior, can consider a strong middle (middle+).
• Needs to be able to dig deep, be creative and dynamic.
• With a hacker mindset!!!

Technical aspects:

• Cryptography:Knowledge of cryptography is not crucial. But in this case, a mathematical background is needed, to quickly learn.

In cryptography we use zero-knowledge proofs, candidate has to understand what is asymmetric cryptography at basic level, what are the limits.
We write layer-1 blockchain, there is not much cryptography and it's not a fact that the person we are looking for will write it, but it is necessary to understand the basics.

Go

• Our candidate may have started writing in Go or C++ or other languages, understand how the network layer works, and memory management. There must be a basic understanding of computer science.
• Not just a person who will take all major frameworks and write a backend. Must understand memory on Go, understand how Goroutine works internally. (If he doesn't, he hasn't written in Go.)

What the candidate gets when he or she comes to the project:

1. engineering complexity - we do things that no one else is doing and that no one else has come up with before.

2. you solve a super important problem for the whole world - it's the next big thing

3. equity

4. only now is the opportunity to join the team as a FOUNDING engineer

Roles & Responsibilities

As an early team member, you will get a chance to shape both the foundations of our product, backend architecture, and team culture. We will measure your success by your ability to ship fast, learn quickly, and contribute to our culture of continuous improvement. Additionally, you will:

• Design and build server-side Human L2 and blockchain architecture (using Golang, AWS, Azure)
• Write technical documentation
• Manage the server-side technical team
• Develop and manage well-functioning decentralized databases

What we do, in simple terms:

• We make a blockchain that runs on the devices of everyone involved in that blockchain.
• We make it so that everyone has a voice of their own. For being verified in the system, each person receives a reward, Human Dollars, and that currency is distributed to everyone on the planet (since we expect to verify everyone).
• The user gets money for taking the time to verify and for being a member of the network,
• for helping to verify the next transactions that will take place inside the blockchain.
• As a result, we have a decentralized system of unique identities that can be used for anything on the Internet where there is fraud (bots, etc.). We kill bots this way.
• There will be integration with social networks and other systems - you will be able to authorize through Human (to understand whether you are a bot or a unique person).
• Since the system is decentralized, this means that people own their own personal information and there is no situation that one company owns the data of 8 billion people, this is dangerous.

Preferred Qualifications

• ​Basic knowledge and understanding of how different blockchains and consensus mechanisms (PoW, PoS) work
• Experience as a user in crypto and basic DeFi protocols like Uniswap
• Basic experience with smart contracts development
• Deep & low-level knowledge of Golang

Minimum Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Senior Backend Engineer or Lead Backend Engineer
• Deep knowledge and 3+ years of professional experience with Golang. We will use Golang for building the server-side.
• Knowledge and 3+ years of professional experience with and one of these programming languages: Rust, C++, Python, Node.js, or Java.
• Good knowledge of computer science fundamentals (TCP/IP), distributed systems, low-level networking knowledge, system design, memory management
• Basic knowledge of cryptography & such algorithms and structures as Merkle Trees, Hash Tables
• Familiarity & experience with various cloud services: AWS, Azure, GCloud, or Heroku
• You are ok with the fact, that the code will be open-sourced at some point
• You are comfortable with ambiguity. The project has a high level of unknown and a big portion of R&D. True ownership, self-management, and professional maturity – things we value the most and things that are really important for this job
