Overview

Iron Fish is a new cryptocurrency that takes no shortcuts on privacy and usability. Privacy isn’t just important, it’s essential to crypto’s success. Our vision is for Iron Fish to become a shielded layer for many more assets, even ones on different chains, and provide a platform for true digital cash.

A core belief at Iron Fish is that privacy and ease-of-use are not in opposition. Users and developers deserve both. Our codebase is TypeScript + Rust, so the world’s 1M+ JavaScript developers can contribute. The current implementation is even compatible to run a full Iron Fish node directly in the browser in future iterations.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to work on the core Iron Fish protocol and supporting tools. You will work collaboratively with our team members on developing new protocol features and focus on optimization, scale, and performance of a purely decentralized peer to peer (p2p) system.

The Iron Fish team is made up of curious, passionate, kind individuals who deeply care about making a product that’s a pleasure to use. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you 🙂
