Role

Who you are

We're looking for software engineers with a thorough understanding of the entire blockchain technology stack, from networking and systems to cryptography and consensus protocols
Experience in building and supporting production services on a large scale
Proficiency with at least one low-level programming language such as Rust, Go, or C/C++, and familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript
Understanding of cryptography, distributed systems, consensus, blockchain, and cryptoeconomics fundamentals

Desirable

Passion for blockchain, Web3, and similar decentralized technologies
Understanding of blockchain technology and its underlying infrastructure, preferably with Move, Avalanche, or Ethereum
A strong motivation to learn and push yourself

What the job involves

Design and implement Movement's Move-based blockchain technologies
Develop developer tools and SDKs, fostering interaction with our internal and external developer community
Collaborate with the larger community to evolve the design and implementation of MoveVM and Move language
Write technical specifications, create proposals, and conduct code reviews

Our take

Move is a programming language tailored specifically for blockchain applications. It was originally created at Facebook, but the cryptocurrency it was supposed to power never launched. Now, Movement Labs hopes to share Move with as many people as possible, and facilitate its use across all distributed environments.

The company's first project, which is supported by a significant funding round, is to bring Facebook’s Move Virtual Machine to Ethereum. Through this, Movement Labs hopes to combat prevalent issues with Ethereum, such as smart contract vulnerabilities and poor transaction throughput.

It's an interesting premise, and one which many blockchain enthusiasts and developers will be interested in. Investment in the company is a promising sign, as are its plans for the future which include the introduction of Move Stack, an execution layer framework that is compatible with frameworks from companies like Optimism, Polygon and Arbitrum.
