ABOUT US:

Human is an identity layer of verified real and unique people to remove bots online. With the recent Elon's claims that Twitter needs to remove bots from the platform, we believe that the world needs a single space of verified identities, but also to have it decentralized and allow these identities to transact with each other. Our goal is to authenticate a billion+ people, and everyone will get a free share of our digital currency.

We're starting with an L2 optimistic rollup to create a wallet for everyone who verifies themselves. We're looking to build our blockchain on top of the proof-of-identity consensus mechanism later.

Our goal is to build the world's coolest and strongest technical team worldwide that would shape the culture of our open source dev community.

We are looking for exceptional founding engineers to build various services and products, all powered up by a decentralized digital identity. This is a rare opportunity to join the core team and lead backend development, build a team, and design backend architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an early team member, you will get a chance to shape both the foundations of our product, backend architecture, and team culture. We will measure your success by your ability to ship fast, learn quickly, and contribute to our culture of continuous improvement. Additionally, you will:

Design and build server-side Human L2 and blockchain architecture (using Golang, AWS, Azure)
Write technical documentation
Manage the server-side technical team
Develop and manage well-functioning decentralized databases
