Web3 Software Engineer

About the Company: 

Shardeum is a sharded EVM-based L1 smart contract platform with a mission to enable decentralization for everyone. The Shardeum Foundation has raised $18MM in seed funding from notable investors such as Jane Street, The Spartan Group, Struck Crypto, and Balaji Srinivasan to name a few. Currently, decentralized applications are limited by rising gas fees and long transaction queues as a result of blockchains that can’t scale. Our team envisions a world where decentralized applications are adopted globally, enabling a more equitable society with less power put in the hands of a few centralized entities. 

To accelerate the adoption of dApps Shardeum is building the most advanced iteration of a state-sharded smart contract platform. Dynamic state sharding enables Shardeum to increase TPS with each node added to the network. We are obsessed with making the vision for a decentralized future a reality and seek individuals who share the same passion.
