About Our Client
Our client is a groundbreaking decentralized social platform built entirely on the Internet Computer (ICP).

Qualifications

- A deep understanding of Rust and WebAssembly
- Experience deploying and operating systems that run 24x7x365 and building the monitoring, alarming, and tooling required to keep them healthy. Experience building systems that software developers and end-users love.
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, or closely related field. The unique challenges at our client's company will attract many engineers, however your practical experience is more important to them than your educational background.
- Bonus: Working with decentralized, crypto and Web3 technology

Benefits
