Founding Backend Engineer

About earnJARVIS

What started as 2 brand name assets, BTC & ETH, has now turned into a digital economy filled with blockchains, tokens, decentralized finance protocols, and more. Accessing, diversifying, and learning across this maze is complicated but critical to creating a long-term crypto investment strategy.

earnJARVIS is building the premier crypto platform to help create digital asset portfolios with built-in yield management. Think of us like Titan for Crypto and DeFi.

Our software brings the feeling of modern wealth management such as portfolio rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting, and crisp education. We then layer on crypto native yield strategies such as Staking and Decentralized Finance to maximize portfolio performance. We do all of this while abstracting the complexities associated with accessing the ecosystem. We are building the easiest way to invest in crypto.

About You

You are a rockstar engineer who loves to build complex products and systems from the ground up. You are a team player who enjoys collaborative environments but is not afraid to voice their opinion. You have a strong architectural sense and have a demonstrated ability to turn architecture into code. You thrive in ambiguous settings and know how to balance tech debt and "doing things right". You want to be part of a small, fast-paced, and energetic team looking to impact consumer investing.
