About:

The start-up is a non-custodial, institutional grade, staking as a service provider. The business operates validators across a wide range of Proof-of-Stake protocols and allows institutional clients to delegate their assets using their preferred custodians in order to collect staking rewards. It charges a commission on the staking rewards for operating the validators and providing analytics and reporting.

The business’ differentiation is based on:

• Institutional grade security and compliance (e.g. permissioned validators)
• Superior transparency and analytics, including dashboard and reporting
• Processes designed with institutional workflow in mind

• Knowledge of systems programming languages like Golang and Python
• Extensive cloud experience and familiarity with configuring, scaling, tuning and monitoring the range of services (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Experience producing operational and design documentation for the things you build, and writing post-mortem docs after troubleshooting service issues.
• Experience with continuous integration and continuous delivery tools, like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.
• Any blockchain experience

Nice to have:

• Experience in software development and infrastructure development is a plus.
