Please, pleasy-please, read and respect the following 5 notes before applying with a single click:

1. Instead of using the RemoteOK built-in application system where the systems sends the employer a note like "John is interested in this position, click here to see his RemoteOK CV" please just send your CV in PDF format to the following E-Mail address: [email protected]
2. We'll pay you 1500 EUR per month for 6h per day, Monday to Friday. It's hard to stay focused for 8 hours straight, therefore more than 6h per day don't make sense. You can have other jobs on the side, but not while you're dedicating your daily 6h to Lightup. The 6h must get spent dedicated, continous, without interruption and without doing other tasks at the same time.
3. You'll find a keyword at the end of this job description. Include it in your E-Mail to us, either in the subject or in the body of your E-Mail, so that we know you're clear about what you're actually applying for vs. just applying for a ton of jobs in a random fashion because that's not cool. E-Mails without the keyword will get ignored.
4. If there are should be typing or grammar mistakes in your CV we'll already know that you don't pay much attention to detail and in this case you're the wrong candidate for this job.
5. Thanks for your cooperation, these are some prerequisites to save time on both sides. :-)
   

Now, about the actual job: Lightup was established in 1998 in Frankfurt, Germany as a Hosting & Domain Provider and today is still a small but international Internet Full-Service & Telephony Service Provider, focusing heavily on web-based telecommunication services (VoIP) since 2011. We're need more developers to create more cool web telecom-related projects and apps. 100% of our team works from remote.

To compensate for the monthly kind of low payment of just 1500 EUR, which may be too low for some parts of the world, we're offering you a quite unique profit sharing model: For every web project that you turn into reality, you'll receive 20% of the profit that this project generates for as long as you stay with Lightup. That way, you'll be also extra motivated to extend the service you just created and keep it running and improve it over time while it's growing, generating you even more profit every month. We love to see our employees happy, and if the company is profiting as a whole, you as an individual should profit from that, too.

We'll create the ideas, and you'll put these projects into reality. Your profile:

• You are awesome at working independently and self-sufficient, you are great at researching using Google and AI tools extensively to find the infos you need & to learn.
• You could, in theory, build functional websites from scratch without relying on AI or programming tools.
• You can write code from scratch using your brain, without AI, and just by using a text editor (if need be).
• Coding means actually writing manual code for you, not copy'ing & paste'ing code snippets that you found on the web. To you, coding also doesn't mean dragging objects from A to B in some visual "programming" tool.
  

In other words, you're a real programmer!

Your skills:

• Perfect English & typing proficiency. No typos, no grammar mistakes.
• You can create Android apps from scratch, from start to finish, by yourself.
• You can handle the Linux shell and you can navigate through a Linux-based filesystem using just command line tools.
• You're a master of the programming language(s) of your choice that allow you to create web-projects (PHP, Python, whatever).
• You are very good at SQL, you understand the inner workings of e.g. MySQL and thus you know what makes queries slow and what makes them fast.
  
• All of this requires that you already have plenty of experience, if you are new to all of this or if you think AI will be able to handle these requirements for you, then you are not the right candidate.
• You have used vi or vim before.

What the job will look like in practice:

• We're defining the inner workings and features of the to-be-created web-based service, or app, together.
• You'll start at 0 and build these services & apps from the ground up, independently, by yourself.
• We'll communicate permanently via Slack.
• Here you can find the keyword so that we'll know you actually read until here: Work-in-underpants.
• No travelling required, you can do this job from anywhere in the world with a stable, broadband internet connection. External keyboard + external mouse required in case you're working on a laptop, otherwise you would be too slow for what we expect from you.
• We are a German company, and precision and speed are key to this role. :-)

And now, we're looking forward to read from you - thank you!

🌎 Distributed team

⏰ Async

💰 Profit sharing

What is the job? 

No matter how powerful and flexible you build a platform, at the end of the day it’s the experience you can give the user that matters.  Radix is seeking a savvy frontend development expert to help build the tools that will define the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) and Web3.0 user experience.

DeFi and Web3.0 have turned out to be the killer apps that are taking public distributed ledgers from niche products for speculators and hobbyists to projects of global economic significance, and with them have come a new paradigm for user interfaces.  Authentication models, interoperability expectations, and the entire concept of user accounts are all undergoing dramatic changes; at Radix you’ll have the opportunity to define the way forward while working at the very cutting edge of a space undergoing furious growth.

Your initial focus will be development of full-stack typescript applications and integrated backend services spanning web and mobile devices that get users, their identity, and their assets connected to DeFi and Web3.0 applications on the Radix network. Working from Figma prototypes and pre-defined network APIs you will work within our Core Apps team to build and maintain web applications that interact with our unique mobile app, backend infrastructure to connect web and mobile experiences, and SDKs and technologies that developers will use to create their own web applications that interact with our mobile app.

What are we looking for? 

• You’re a confident coder who likes to work at the user interface level, and you have built public-facing websites or applications in Typescript in the past.

• You’re a generalist, and have experience building REST services and/or WebSocket backends.

• You are a researcher and enjoy requirements engineering for SDK development. 

• You like to actively shape designs and play with ideas as you build, and are comfortable iterating until it feels just right.

• You’re able to isolate the 90% case for user experiences.  

• You think in terms of making the most common interactions effortless, rather than making anything possible.

• You’re intelligent and learn quickly.  Absolutely no one at Radix winds up only doing what’s in their job description, and adaptability is essential.

What do you need?

• 4+ years as a professional software engineer in full-stack development

• You are fluent in Typescript.

• You have  SDK development experience.

• You know how to work with complex API’s (ideally WebRTC, WebAuthn, etc)

• You excel at researching and requirements gathering.

• You’re enthusiastic about working in a multidisciplinary team with mobile engineers. 

Who are we? 

At RDX Works, we're a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we're living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fuelled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management from $1 billion to over $200  billion in a few years. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn't even a rounding error on the over $400 trillion held in traditional finance. We're focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.

RDX went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We're keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we're also blazing new ground in the areas of purpose-built developer tools, user experiences, and regulatory integration.

We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now.

If this job sounds like it was made for you, then please apply directly via the link or email [email protected] for more information.

Alternatively, if you feel like you don’t match all of the requirements, we would love you to still apply anyway. We understand that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates and we wouldn’t want this to prevent us from meeting you; especially as we are big advocates of helping people learn & grow. This is also another reason we do not advertise salaries, we want to keep it as even a playing field as possible!
