About Our Team

We are a diverse team of developers that cover the end-to-end DevOps lifecycle of a wide range of internal
and public-facing applications that are built in-house and self-hosted on GLEIF infrastructure.

Our primary tech stack includes Laravel, Docker, MariaDB, Redis, GitLab CI/CD, Ansible, Sentry. Knowledge
sharing, Test-driven development, documentation and an agile mindset are core tenants to the way we
grow as a team and build maintainable, quality software. We are looking to expand the expertise of the
team in the architecture, development and implementation of the KERI protocol and downstream
implementations for the verifiable LEI (vLEI).

The team covers the full lifecycle of the applications we develop including requirement engineering,
technical design & specification, planning, implementation (TDD), documentation, release/deployment,
monitoring and maintenance. Our applications are mostly built API-first and often don't come with a
frontend or are limited to an internal dashboard written in Livewire or Vue.

We are a self-organizing team that does not compromise on quality, believes in continual learning and
taking shared ownership of what we create and the value it provides.

About You

We are seeking a seasoned senior developer to continue the architectural design and implementation of
the KERI protocol and downstream implementations of KERIA and Signify-TS. As a key leader in our
team, you will leverage your extensive experience in software architecture, decentralized systems, and
cryptographic technologies to shape the future of digital identity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architectural Leadership: Learn and articulate the architectural blueprint for the vLEI project,
    ensuring robustness, scalability, and alignment with industry standards within the existing vLEI
    libraries.
  • Technical Design: Lead the design and continued development of core components, including
    KERIA and Signify-TS.
  • Team Collaboration: Work closely with a talented team of developers and project managers to
    deliver a secure and efficient implementation of the vLEI ecosystem.
  • Code Review and Quality Assurance: Ensure the highest standards of code quality and security
    through rigorous code reviews and adherence to best practices.
  • Documentation: Create comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture
    diagrams, design specifications, and user guides, to facilitate collaboration and knowledge
    sharing.
  • Community Engagement: Actively participate in the open-source community, providing technical
    guidance and fostering a collaborative environment.
  • Mentorship: Guide and mentor developers, cultivating a culture of continuous learning and
    technical excellence.

Experience and competencies for success

  • 10+ years of senior experience in software architecture, with a proven track record in designing
    and deploying large-scale, decentralized systems.
  • Extensive experience in open-source project management, including leading and contributing to
    successful open-source projects.
  • Strong expertise in cryptography, particularly in the areas of public key infrastructure (PKI) and
    digital signatures.
  • Outstanding proficiency in Python.
  • Exceptional ability to design secure, scalable, and maintainable soaware architectures.
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, consensus algorithms, and decentralized identity
    standards.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to convey complex technical
    concepts to diverse audiences.
