Day-to-day;

Evolve the current 'solutions' to work with varying DeFi protocols.
Scale the backend to achieve target throughputs.
Modify browser data structures to make practically useable with high data volumes.
Build of client side proofs for interaction with trusted platform modules such as biometric readers.

Their Existing Stack You'll Be Exposed To;

C++ for their core cryptography library.
Rust for their proprietary smart contract language.
Solidity for their Ethereum based smart contracts.
TypeScript for higher level code. (jest, ethers, react, and koa).
WebAssembly builds of their crypto library in Web Workers for in-browser operability.
Terraform used for defining all infra on AWS.
CircleCI pipeline developed for all builds & deployments.
