Title: Social Sharing Site Reddit Seeks ‘Cryptocurrency Engineer’
Post by: freee101 on August 03, 2014, 03:36:19 PM
Here’s a potentially interesting bit of news for cryptocurrency enthusiasts that may be looking for a job.
Social sharing website Reddit.com (which has a huge bitcoin community at r/Bitcoin) is apparently hiring handful of ‘Cryptocurrency Engineers’ out of their San Francisco office.
The job listing is posted over at Lever, which you can view by following this link.
Here’s what they need, according to the listing:
reddit is looking for a couple engineers with extremely strong discrete mathematics or computer science backgrounds to explore new technology applications and infrastructure involving the blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Of course, we could only begin to guess just what the company is up to, but it’s interesting nonetheless. And if you’re looking to take them up on their offer, you’ll need some coding skills:
You should have direct working experience with C or C++, plus at least a handful of other languages. For reference, reddit is written in Python on Pylons talking to Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Memcached, ZooKeeper and more all running on Linux. It is hosted on Amazon AWS.
In addition, the applicant’s background should include a BS in science, math, or physics, and they should have a minimum of 3 years experience in professional programming in a small-to-medium company or companies.
This should get interesting, don’t you think?

Interesting that they don't put experience with cryptos as a differential.

Think they don't expect many people with this kind of experience?

I guess they are more interested in start-up engineers rather than alt coin developers.  Makes sense.
