Organisation
Our team is contributing to the future of the KERI Suite of protocols as the trust spanning layer for the internet. This future is based upon open standards. These include Trust over IP (ToIP) Foundation’s, KERI, ACDC, and CESR specifications. ToIP resides inside the Linux Foundation’s Decentralized Trust umbrella. Our main objective is to build what we call “1-click KERI”. This would enable any prospective adopter to download and deploy a functional infrastructure. The five main components we call the five Ws: wallets, witnesses, watchers, web, and wizards. You can learn more about the KERI Suite of protocols here.
Everything we build will be open source (Apache2). We use Python as the core language for backend service development, and micro-web application frameworks for front-end APIs. We leverage open source cryptographic libraries. The architecture takes a distributed, performance-driven, horizontally scalable, asynchronous (coroutine) event-sourcing approach.
About the Role
The full-stack developer will build both backend and frontend functionality for infrastructure components supporting the KERI Suite of protocols. This includes backend APIs that support frontend applications, as well as developing both user and admin frontend applications. We are looking for engineers with solid analytical, research, and programming skills. Production experience in Python and JavaScript programming is a must. Experience with HTMX is preferred. Experience with Pyodide is preferred. Experience in C or Rust is a bonus. Experience or training in distributed communication protocols, decentralized identity, cryptography, and Web3 systems is preferred.
