Blockchain Developer (Remote Work and Salary Negotiable)

The Quantum Resistant Ledger - San Francisco Bay Area, CA

The Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) is a high security, resilient and long-term stability blockchain option for individuals, organizations and institutions engaged in transparent peer-peer transactions. It is a future proof vault for digital assets of value. www.theqrl.org. The immediate roadmap of the network provides end-end encrypted messaging and data channels, digital identification, proof of ownership and governance secured with Proof of Stake and a feasibility study of implementing smart contracts.

We are seeking a strong team member in the development of Blockchain tools and application software, with a focus on improving the security of Blockchain technology. We expect to be a leader in cybersecurity today and into the future. We are expanding our team of cryptographers, programmers, economists, thought leaders, researchers and developers who create and apply tools and techniques for building secure applications. We are looking for top candidates to help us continue the establishment of ground-breaking improvements for securing the blockchain. Software has never been more important to our lives and our security, nor has software insecurity ever been a greater risk. With quantum computing having a high probability of viability in the next 5-10 years, it is necessary to start building appropriate infrastructure.

Joining the QRL team, you will to reduce vulnerabilities resulting from architecture, design and coding errors before they are deployed. You will identify common and rare errors that lead to software vulnerabilities, establish standard secure coding standards and build tools to improve the development process, educate potential users, and advance the state of the practice for building a secure ledger of transactions and store of value.

The successful candidate will participate in research, development and engineering projects that identify and implement best practices for the Quantum Resistant Ledger. The candidate will work directly with the QRL community to apply Blockchain languages and tools, develop and provide training in secure coding practices; evaluate, extend, and use tools to improve and automate source code analysis; review code bases to ensure that best practices are being followed; and enhance the organizational capabilities to produce secure software systems. The candidate will be expected to develop tools and applications, write reports and deliver presentations that explain the findings of research and software evaluations, helping the network improve the software to meet the security and privacy needs of their users.
