Radix DLT company's all remote jobs
Description
As a distributed systems engineer at Radix, you get to do all the fun stuff. No turning reams of procedural business logic into code for you! Your days will be filled with interesting synchronization problems that usually have no perfect solution, and you’re in charge of figuring out a reasonable approach that makes the right trade-offs before going to code. You will meddle with dark powers best left untouched, learn more about decentralized systems than you dreamed was possible, and work with an inspiring team of incredible people. You will make your mother proud, even if you’re never quite able to properly explain to her what it is you built.
You will first come up to speed by aiding in the delivery of a distributed public ledger which functions according to well-known, documented concepts. Building upon this knowledge, you will venture into new territory, solving the challenges of bringing Cerberus, our model of sharded consensus, to life. From this point forward you will be making new ground right at the cutting edge of a rapidly evolving branch of computer science.
About You
- You have extensive experience with distributed systems, and are all too familiar with the attendant complications and gremlins that emerge once not-perfectly-reliable things start talking to each other over a not-perfectly-reliable network.
- You are a prolific, confident coder, and are persistent in working problems to resolution.
- You possess strong attention to detail, and are rarely surprised by unconsidered edge cases.
- You’ve used generic types so much that the angle bracket keys on your keyboard are beginning to wear away.
- You are unafraid of working in a space where there is little prior art to refer to.
- You have done and like to do demonstrably hard things.
- You enjoy talking through tough problems with smart people, and are happy to accept ideas and approaches that you didn’t personally come up with.
About Us
We're a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we're living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fueled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management from $1 billion to $22 billion in less than a year. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn’t even a rounding error on the over $111 trillion held in traditional finance. We’re focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.
Radix went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We’re keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we’re also blazing new ground in the areas of user experiences, developer tools, and regulatory integration.
We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like, together with the business case that assures adoption, and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now. Join us!

Description
Radix is rapidly building the technology that will revolutionize how people save, invest, and spend their money. You, as a skilled and experienced product designer, will work alongside our engineers to create, iterate, and refine delightful user experiences that make the most of what that technology can do for real humans.
Blockchain technology is primed to remake the concepts of finance that have been essentially unchanged for more than 300 years. We are moving from a bank-centric world of monolithic financial products and services, to a user-centric world of direct-to-consumer financial apps and personal control of funds. Radix is building the first open network platform designed to enable this revolutionary shift at a mass-market scale. You have the opportunity to define the first touchpoints users have with the unique advantages of Radix-based finance, at the very cutting edge of a rapidly growing space.
Working within a fast-moving product team, you will bridge the gap from product concept and user flow to wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes of captivating and intuitive web and mobile user experiences. Rapid iteration of prototypes between user testing and engineering feasibility will be central to product definition, and you will be on the front lines of collecting and using this crucial feedback. Once confidence in the product is achieved, you’ll work directly with frontend engineers to produce a consumable design for implementation. You will be the master of the Radix brand guidelines, personally ensuring consistency across products, web, and design assets.

Radix is seeking a veteran agile delivery manager and scrum master to manage the daily operations and provide guidance to a team of exceedingly motivated and intelligent developers and testers who are mostly in the first several years of their careers and are in need of an experienced hand at the wheel.
In the short term, you will work from a known product target with a well-defined plan and delivery schedule, coordinating sprints and standups, and managing the backlog to make sure we’re not failing to address anything needed for delivery. Additionally, most of the work we do is closely related to mathematical principles or computer science theory, and there’s always a fair amount of need to deviate from the “pure” academic solution in order to get to an acceptable concrete implementation in a reasonable time frame; you’ll often be responsible for deciding the appropriate compromises when theory runs up against reality.
Long term, you’ll be working from a coherent product vision to help define what the best next steps are, fleshing out user stories, establishing requirements and milestones, and putting your own stamp on the Radix development process.
Radix is one of the rare places where the problems really are technical problems, not people problems, and we have a whole host of interesting challenges to chew on. Also, we promise that settling the young guns down around the fire and talking about the days when you had to actually look up library function parameters in a book never gets old.
About You
- You like to run development teams. You’ve done it for a long time, you know that there’s no single right way to do it, and you have developed a sense of the things which usually work and the things which usually don’t.
- You have a good instinctual feel for the complexity of a development problem, and can quickly determine which things will be risky/challenging and which should be straightforward.
- You are comfortable with setting a project schedule and making appropriate compromises to adhere to it.
- You like to coach and act as a mentor.
- You have released and maintained consumer-facing things in the past; your history is not limited to internal business applications.
- You’re intelligent and learn quickly. We’re working at the very leading edge of a rapidly evolving branch of computer science, and there’s no map for most of what we do. You will need to come up to speed on the general theory, and then it’s all critical thinking and tough problem solving from that point forward.

No matter how powerful and flexible you build a platform, at the end of the day it’s the tools you present to the user that define the experience. Radix is seeking a veteran agile development lead to build the experiences that will define the future of decentralized finance (DeFi).
DeFi has turned out to be the killer app that is taking public distributed ledgers from niche products for speculators and hobbyists to projects of global economic significance, and with it has come a new paradigm for user interfaces. Authentication models, interoperability expectations, and the entire concept of user accounts are all undergoing dramatic changes; at Radix you’ll have the opportunity to define the way forward while working at the very cutting edge of a space undergoing furious growth.
Working from a coherent vision and a proposed set of essential products, you will fully flesh out user stories, establish requirements and milestones, and lead small teams of ace developers and testers through rapid cycles of implementation, feedback gathering, and tuning to produce delightful results.
About You
- You are able to isolate the 90% case for user experiences. You think in terms of making the most important interactions effortless, rather than making anything possible.
- You are adept at going from problem statements to solution design, and then breaking that high level design down into discrete segments of useful work.
- You have a good instinctual feel for the complexity of a development problem, and can quickly determine which things will be risky/challenging and which should be straightforward.
- You know how to manage the circus while still progressing on your own development tasks, and are comfortable with setting a project schedule and making appropriate compromises to adhere to it.
- You have released and maintained consumer-facing things in the past; your history is not limited to internal business applications.
- You’re intelligent and learn quickly. Absolutely no one at Radix winds up only doing what’s in their job description, and adaptability is essential.
About Us
We labor in the service of our great master, Cerberus. Cerberus is the first model of consensus that delivers high throughput via sharding without sacrificing the central need of decentralized finance—the ability to atomically perform transactions across disparate shards. We call him “Cerby” for short.
Though geographically diverse, we are an exceptionally close-knit team. We count on each other, and we take comfort in knowing the team is always there to step in and take up the load when we run into tough problems. A few times a year we all fly to an exotic destination for a week of planning, hacking, and festivities (except when driven underground by the covid beast). The anticipation leading up to these “Radix summits” is the adult version of looking forward to your favorite holiday.
Decentralized finance and Ethereum are groaning under the stress of too many users pounding square-peg needs into a round-hole platform. We went back to first principles to come up with the right solution, and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second.

Do you want to forever be known as a key part of the team that took decentralized finance (DeFi) mainstream – by finally delivering safe, approachable, parallelizable programming suitable for global finance on an open distributed ledger? DeFi has turned out to be the killer app that is taking public distributed ledgers (DLT) from niche products for speculators and hobbyists to projects of global economic significance. Value locked in DeFi applications has jumped over $12 billion in less than six months, but applications are running headlong into the limitations of unwieldy smart contract programming on a network that can only process a fraction of the transactional demand.
Radix is in the midst of creating a new model of end-user DLT development, one which avoids the gotchas of current smart contract development while enabling rapid implementation of practical finance applications. We are seeking an engineer with a strong background in compilers, virtual machines, and systems design to help shape and implement our approach from the ground up, starting with our unique finite state machine approach.
You’ll begin with a period of intense research and prototyping alongside folks who have years of experience thinking about the problem set, and then you’ll transition to working on the implementation of the programming and execution layer atop our existing network. Your brain will bend in ways it wasn’t meant to be bent, you will form lifelong bonds with a team of incredible people, and you will forever remember the journey.

Everyone knows that developers like to code, and don’t like to document. You’re the exception that proves the rule.
Radix is in the process of making impossibly cool tech which is all but impenetrable to anyone who isn’t deeply versed in our stack. This is a known problem, and we’re urgently pursuing a release which will make distributed ledger programming both safe and approachable to everyone, not just grognards with hair gone prematurely gray from trying to theorize how someone could misuse their Solidity code. Come help us do it.
As a great and powerful documenting developer, you’ll be at the forefront of our effort to bring the Radix model of programmability to the masses. You’ll have your hands in a little bit of everything, from client libraries to our developer’s guide. You’ll influence the creation of intelligible interfaces, write up step-by-step guides on getting started, create examples, and be our foremost internal consumer at each milestone.
After the first half of 2021, your responsibilities will expand to include a strong community-facing component. You’ll nurture new developers along while noting the places where they stumble, and determine whether the most common difficulties are best addressed through education or technical changes. You will gauge the level of desire for community feature requests, and have a significant voice in the triage process of deciding what makes the cut for future releases and what winds up consigned to the backlog.
