About Clearmatics

Clearmatics’ mission is to build peer-to-peer infrastructure for a machine-driven future that is resistant to the monopoly-making tendencies of network effects inherent in today’s client-server architectures. We call our technology approach ‘decentralized automation’, which combines cryptography, consensus protocols and economic mechanism design.

We are a Blockchain R&D company and have good ties to the Open Source / Ethereum community.

Our stack is Ethereum-like, so familiarity and passion with the space is key. Some of the areas we tackle include scalability through cryptography (zkSNARKs, multiparty computation, private transactions/assets), protocol design (e.g. proof relays/pegs), formally verified smart contracts, and type-safe & performant distributed virtual machine architectures.

We’re looking to hire a Software Engineer to expand our team.

International candidates are accepted and very welcome, as Clearmatics operates on a ‘remote first’ model.
