Senior Backend Developer (Golang)

About us

HAL’s mission is to democratize access to blockchains enabling anybody to connect them with centralized technologies, in a few clicks, no code needed. We just fundraised $3m from CoinFund and other relevant players in the space (Read more on The Block or on Bitcoin.com).

Thanks to our no-code and cross-chain monitoring platform, we work with financial institutions, DeFi protocols (including Aave, Bancor, BitGo, Loopring, mStable, Polygon, PoolTogether) and developers to automate dApps’ workflows and to solve governance, trading and compliance challenges.

Exiting challenges lie ahead: we are building a brand new iteration of our core product - HAL 2.0; we are re-defining our business proposition; and we are exploring how decentralization and a new HAL token could serve the future for HAL 3.0 and bring it even closer to our core values as we described them in our Gluing Manifesto.
