EDR is working collaboratively with a leading blockchain scale-up that focuses on areas such as data monetization, digital identity and decentralised finance. The firm is now forming a new remote team of blockchain/solidity engineers and are searching for a VP of engineering to oversee the team, and the high profile projects that they are currently working on.

Requirements:

Understanding and experience in developing with current cloud/backend systems

Understanding and experience in developing with current middleware layers (example: node.js/Java connectivity middleware)

Understanding and experience in developing with current frontend infrastructures (example: javascript re: React, Java re: Android Studio, Swift and/or Objective C re: iOS development with Xcode)

Understanding of cloud and local system security requirements, permissioning, et al.

Experience in team-based collaboration utilities (example: slack re: company communication mechanisms, asana re: company project task associations)

Deep understanding of tools such as Git for workflow and development, and tools such as Travis-ci for continuous integration within projects.

Working with internal teams to develop and design SOW & other forms of product/work requests, for external teams to utilize over the course of the project.

In association with this, managing said teams and packaging deliverables/reports for the consumption of the rest of the team would be required.

Regular interactions with the core team including any active CTO at the time, including scheduling, maintaining, and quality-checking the process of these interactions over time.

Beyond these fundamental requirements, the job and tasks associated would look like the following:

Building middleware connectivity to open standards and the existing software stack (which consists of Solidity based smart contracts and Ruby/Go/Javascript based REST interface layers).

Developing with and/or training team members to achieve goals and complete requisite tasks.

Researching existing blockchain-based solution spaces to optimize company reach through association with other projects that fall within the scope of the company ideals.

Attending meetups and/or conferences to share ideas, develop strategies, and network with others in the space.

Perform outreach and/or education to various schools, organizations, and individuals to increase the company’s reach and credentials in both local and global initiatives.

Working with clients to achieve proper structural processes in the build out process, including but not limited to blockchain-based software companies, institutions such as banks and telecoms, and larger jurisdictional efforts regarding digital electronic ID formats.

Global travel may be required to accomplish these above tasks, which will be determined on a case-by-case basis (most likely minimal at first).
