Centrifuge is looking for an experienced Rust engineer to join the Centrifuge Chain team. The team is building a blockchain with Rust and Parity Substrate to scale the Centrifuge network and create a public chain to bring any financial supply chain and "real-world" asset on chain and into the DeFi ecosystem. You have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge blockchain technology: Parity Substrate, Polkadot, Ethereum bridges, zkSNARKs, and more.

We are knowledgeable, curious, and nice people, who have a shared vision to re-shape the world of business software. We would love to hear from you if this feels like a good home for you.

Centrifuge's main office is located in Kreuzberg in Berlin close to other leading Blockchain projects such as Gnosis, Parity, Cosmos, Web3 Foundation, and more. Most of our team is based in Berlin but remote work is a possibility.
