About the Job

We're looking for an experienced JavaScript engineer to lead the development efforts on our client’s platform -- a library that allows anyone to create and interact with decentralized marketplaces w/o having to worry about the underlying technology for connecting to Ethereum, IPFS, etc.

Our client’s mission is to allow buyers and sellers to meet and transact in a completely distributed way (from car, housing, bike, and other rentals to task-based services like freelance engineering, design, marketing and more).

# Role
You will work closely with our founders (both developers) and other early engineers to architect and build out the platform.

You will develop the JavaScript library for integral parts of our distributed platform:
- Abstracting away the complexity of dealing with Ethereum and IPFS
- Developing a simple API for creating and interacting listings
- Handling calendaring, booking rules, identity verification and other features of the platform.

As the first dedicated JavaScript engineer, you will be integral in setting both company and engineering culture and processes.
# Requirements
- 4+ years in software engineering
- Deep understanding and experience with JavaScript required
- We have a strong preference for candidates who have contributed to open-source projects in the past, especially widely-used JavaScript libraries like jQuery, React or Angular.
- Bonus points if have demonstrated open-source leadership and led a major open-source project yourself.
