Company mission
To democratize and decentralize the growth of Move.
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.
