Blockchain Developer

Responsibilities:

• Education and Qualifications:
• A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field is usually required. However, we may consider candidates with equivalent work experience or relevant certifications.
• Proficiency in Programming Languages:
• Solid programming skills in languages commonly used in blockchain development such as Solidity (for Ethereum), JavaScript, Python, Go, or C++ are essential. Understanding smart contract development and blockchain platforms like Ethereum is crucial.
• Blockchain Knowledge:
• In-depth understanding of blockchain concepts, decentralised systems, and consensus algorithms is necessary. Familiarity with different blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Hyperledger, or Corda is advantageous.
• Smart Contract Development:
• Experience in developing and deploying smart contracts using blockchain platforms like Ethereum, Solidity, and Truffle is highly desirable. Understanding the security aspects and best practices for smart contract development is important.
• Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT):
• Knowledge of distributed ledger technology beyond blockchain, such as directed acyclic graph (DAG) or hashgraph, can be beneficial.
• Cryptography:
• Familiarity with cryptographic algorithms and protocols used in blockchain systems, such as hashing, digital signatures, and encryption, is important for implementing secure solutions.
• Web Development:
• Proficiency in web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React or Angular is valuable for building user interfaces and decentralised applications (dApps).
• Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills:
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills are essential for designing and implementing efficient blockchain solutions, identifying and resolving issues, and optimising performance.
• Understanding of Blockchain Tools and Libraries:
• Familiarity with blockchain development tools, frameworks, and libraries such as Truffle, Ganache, Web3.js, or Infura can be advantageous.
• Communication and Collaboration:
• Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams are important for understanding business requirements, coordinating with stakeholders, and working on blockchain projects effectively.
