Internship Description

We are a startup in the blockchain space, building tools that will revolutionize the agriculture, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, and financial industries. Despite our size, our customers include fortune 500 companies. Our founders are seasoned entrepreneurs who have created multiple previous companies.

Our platform is based on a very modern stack. It is written in Haskell, a powerful and concise functional programming language, and we also use Node/React to develop upon the backend. We are happy to train you in these tools.

Why join a large corporation where you will only play a small role. By joining a startup, you will be given larger responsibilities right away, you will get to help us build the culture from the ground up, and can observe firsthand what is involved in creating a business.

Job Responsibilities

  1. Programming, and more programming!
  2. Collaborate with the rest of the team to architect the system.

  4. Quickly read and understand the inner workings and compatibility of sibling p2p tools.
  5. Work with the customer to craft blockchain solutions, then augment the platform with the supporting backend functionality.
