Life and Balance

We care deeply about our colleagues as humans and are invested in their health and wellbeing. We are a small, fully remote, focused team, that offers maximum flexibility and minimum bureaucracy.

Open Source

We care deeply about building our technology as open source and moving the industry forward. We value engaging and contributing back to the open-source we are connected to, including Rust and cryptography ecosystems, from which we both substantially benefit.

Security and Privacy

We are creating tools that enable individual autonomy and freedom of exploration and enhance people’s ability to exercise their civil liberties.

Software Engineer

Work with our team on contributing to projects involving a Rust codebase within the first few months. This role requires that you have experience with the following: (1) assembling and/or contributing substantially to projects implemented using Rust; or (2) using languages that share Rust’s paradigms and design goals (concurrency, strong typing, memory safety) such as Golang, Haskell, C++, and OCaml. We’ll invest in your growth as an engineer and will work together to help you gain the domain knowledge you need to grow into increasing independence in the role.
