A bit about the role:

We’re looking for Engineers in this team who have experience using Solidity, or even better Cairo, to design and build the future of game asset ownership. We enable game developers to give millions of players access to Ethereum-backed in-game items and add decentralised features around these items to make them fully-fledged assets. 

You will have the opportunity to:

• Build the infrastructure to ensure that games developers can give their users Ethereum-backed assets
• Build platform features and protocols to allow more games to take advantage of Immutable’s technology
• Propose new distribution and engagement mechanisms for our games which are enabled by the blockchain
• Work with internal and external game development teams to determine how we can improve blockchain UX for gamers
• Be an advocate for blockchain and decentralisation within the company: work to help us create a fundamental shift in the culture of the gaming industry

We would love you to have:

• Solidity - Deployed complex contracts using Solidity. You are able to write well-tested, highly polished code for the base layer for future applications.
• Development - You are a strong Software Engineer who is able to create wrappers around your work and help others integrate them into their products. You are capable of constructing both backend and frontend integrations with Ethereum where necessary.
• Communication - You will be a key member of our team and be tasked with funnelling blockchain information to other parts of the company, so you need to be a strong communicator.

Some extra skills that would be awesome:

• A passion for upskilling and driving engineering capabilities
• The ability to work comfortably across a range of technologies and are flexible to adapt to the shifting demands of the role
• Previously worked in a scale/start up environment.
• Excellent knowledge of software engineering best practices such as Clean Code / SOLID principles
