About the Job

NEPRI brings DeFi & Open Finance to 3.6 Billion Ordinary People. It is an Open Finance and Decentralized Financial (DeFi) platform that makes DeFi services & tools accessible to anyone with a smartphone.
How will Open Finance and DeFi cross the chasm? With NEPRI.

NEPRI is a multi-purpose Open Finance and Decentralized Financial platform providing: - the superior and next-generation stablecoin that earns a yield while it’s in your wallet with rich diversified yield generation strategies - a Tokenized Risk and Fluctuation Derivative Asset for DeFi, with a yield strategy based on a cross platform derivatives protocol for any and all fluctuations – and an autonomous and non-custodial stablecoin infrastructure, risk minimised and scalable stable assets are the foundation of a robust DeFi stack. The aim is to build a billion-dollar DeFi protocol
Moreover, we are working on launching a single platform that offers venture funding in tiered risk levels, creating nearly zero-risk venture investments, and provide a solution to close the $5.2 Trillion Credit Gap for formal MSMEs and startups in next frontier and emerging markets with a new asset class based on a structured financial product targeting the $1Trillion Personal Finance Management market. In addition, we are building a fair, accessible, collaborative and inclusive security token sale framework targeting the $14 Trillion Opportunity of Alternative Asset investment.
NEPRI is being built by NEPRI Inc., a company with presence in South Africa and Mauritius. Our core development team is remote and successful applicants are expected to work on remote for the next 3 months.

NEPRI is building a global Open Finance platform that can be used by anyone in frontier and emerging markets with a mobile phone — no banks or intermediaries required. Under the hood, it is a decentralized smart contract platform whose architecture enables mobile phones to easily validate transactions, and it uses stable-value token pegged to fiat currency to minimize volatility. But because NEPRI is building both the underlying infrastructure, a consumer web app and a mobile app, it is taking a “full stack” approach. This means we’re building a complete product or service that can bypass legacy infrastructure and limitations, and more importantly, provide a better end-to-end experience — enabling NEPRI to take the best features of DeFi and pair them with a more seamless user experience.
As of right now, we are looking for a Solidity engineer with a passion for coding to join our dev team as a co-founder — if you happen to check all of the boxes below feel free to submit us your resume/CV.
NEPRI is looking for an engineer with Solidity experience to help build NEPRI’s smart contract capabilities. As a member of the NEPRI team you will collaborate on the design and implementation of smart contracts for our peer-to-peer risk exchange protocol, next-gen asset class and security token sale framework.

Important: You will be an equity partner, and like the other founders, may receive no other salary until the startup has raised funds, but you will receive an interesting token allocation.
