TypeScript/Python Developer

Arboreum is the world's first company creating decentralized credit for everyday people. What does that mean? Unlike traditional credit where a loan is given by a bank or NBFC, in our framework we involve your informal "credit network" to participate in your loan through what we call a "credit-union"--that is an entity or a collective willing to take on some of the loan-risk on the borrower's behalf. Our whitepaper devises how the loan can then be subsequently filled by many thousands of AI-enabled agents who are transacting with each other on a global network. See more here.

We are combining the best of blockchains with everyday banking, because unlike other DeFi companies we have real, non-crypto customers who barely even know what the term means. We are focused on providing receivables financing to last-mile MSMEs, farmers, and other under-capitalized supply chains. In the not so distant future we envision a world of simple "embedded" credit where anyone can easily avail of a loan, and idle funds of investors' anywhere can safely accrue interest--all this without any bank or NBFC.

We are a seed-stage startup with three founders, each of whom have 5-10 years experience, have founded companies before,  and have collectively worked at/studied at IIT, BITS Pilani, Wharton Business School, University of Michigan, McKinsey, United Nations, Xerox PARC, Consensys, etc.

What you’ll do

We are strongly supported by Algorand & Celo and they have provided funding to partly reimplement our existing tech on-chain and execute small-scale pilots. You will be working with founders who have extensive experience building regular, centralized back- and frontends and also some experience writing smart-contracts.

• Build dApp Frontend
• Smart contract planning, development, testing & deploying
• Auxiliary data management solution (user-data, kyc login, blockchain)

The CEO & CTO will focus on building the seed-community of borrowers & lenders (e.g. SMEs in Europe and South America), so for the most part this is a pure heads down & coding role. 

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience building software
• Full-stack Experience with JS/TS/NextJS (or similar framework), and Python

Bonus points

• Experience building dApps for Algorand, Ethereum or Celo (Solidity, Teal, or Reach.sh)
• Strong communication skills with respect to specs & code (good diagramming skills)
• Solid grasp of the existing DeFi landscape
• Experience working in a remote team

You might excel at this role if you:

• Have first-hand experience building and shipping full-stack applications
• Respond well to open-ended problems and thrive on autonomy

Remuneration

• Salary depends on experience and location
• Equity depending on salary and other factors
• Flexible, paid time-off policy
