Software Engineer

We are Hashnode, a friendly and inclusive online community for Software Developers. If you are a programmer, you may have already heard about us.

Lately, we have been playing around with blockchain technology and thinking about how we can best utilize it within our community. Here are a few experiments:

Mint: https://github.com/Hashnode/mint
Uphack: https://github.com/Hashnode/Uphack
Building blockchain powered social networks: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/a-comprehensive-guide-to-coding-a-blockchain-powered-online-community-f938792dbcb4

We are looking to hire a Golang developer (Part-time, Remote) who will help us with an upcoming blockchain project.

Activities will include:

• Writing a Tendermint based blockchain protocol in Go
• Coordinating with the founders and reviewing the progress
• Making sure the code is well tested, secure and reliable

Qualities you should have:

• Extremely organized, experience in remote work and make sure work gets done in time
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• Self-starter, ability to work independently and asynchronously
• Must be an expert in Go. Basic knowledge of blockchain tech is a plus

We are building a distributed team and work in Asian time zones. There must be an overlap of at least 2-3 hours every day.

The ideal person should be able to work 4 - 6 hours every day, 5 days a week. This means 20 - 30 hours per week for the next 6 months.
