My client is a well funded, California based Video Gaming company, looking to build a brand-new Blockchain project.

I am looking for a leader, who still likes to get their hands dirty - 50/50 split between hands-on and management. Experience building on multiple Blockchain technologies from scratch is absolutely essential, no exceptions.

What You'll Do:

Build a decentralized network to be shared in a peer to peer like network
Design, architect, develop, and implement a decentralized network via blockchain technology
Architect a fully-scalable Blockchain
Design and build globally distributed systems, in a cloud environment
Design and build complex applications with an emphasis on performance, scalability, and high-reliability
Lead a team of Senior Software Engineers, based in multiple locations around the globe - this needs to be a high-availability, low-latency, around-the-clock system

What You'll Bring:

At least 5 years' recent, hands-on experience as a Senior Full-Stack SWE
Expertise in C/C++, Java, or other Object Oriented Programming (Preferred)
Experience with blockchain technologies (Ethereum, Smart Contracts, Bitcoin etc.)
Experience working with DevOps & Security teams to ensure secure, timely release of any and all applications - Deep understanding and experience of Cryptographic Protocols
Outstanding verbal and written communication skills
Passion for joining a fast-paced, early-stage startup
B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Math, or another technical field preferred (equivalent professional experience is acceptable)

This role requires presenting to the company's board and investors. If you aren't comfortable explaining a PoC to an audience, this isn't for you!

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to take a mission-critical leadership position, with a pioneering company, looking to change the future of the multi-billion dollar video games industry
