Company Overview

Our mission at Electric Coin Co. is to empower economic freedom, and to that end, we created and launched the Zcash digital currency in 2016. Today — along with other independent teams and developers — we continue to support the Zcash community through product development, awareness and adoption, and cutting-edge research initiatives.

Job Responsibilities

We are seeking a Core Engineer and Developer Liaison to join ECC’s Core Team in the following activities:

• Maintaining and improving Zcash’s core libraries (primarily written in Rust).
• Implementing new functionality and bug fixes in the SDKs (written in Swift and Kotlin) that support our Zashi mobile wallet on iOS and Android.
• Responding effectively and quickly to security vulnerabilities discovered in our software and related infrastructure.
• Developing and maintaining specifications to enhance, document, and support security analysis of the Zcash protocol, either led by ECC or in collaboration with third-party developers.
• Aiding developers at the Zcash Foundation in supporting and implementing new features for the Zebra consensus node and related software.
• Interacting with the wider Zcash development community to ensure that ECC’s efforts are complementary to, and able to take advantage of that wider development.

Electric Coin Company engages in a variety of media and social media channels to communicate with a wide audience, educate, maintain transparency, and broadcast our message to the world. To drive these initiatives, the role will also involve acting as a developer liaison between ECC and other parts of the Zcash development community.

The Core Engineer and Developer Liaison will report to the Engineering Research & Development Manager. The Core Team also works closely with the Zashi wallet team.
