About the job

We are looking for a software engineer with blockchain and cryptographic experience to join our engineering team.

Your primary responsibilities will be analysing requirements, writing and testing scalable code, developing back-end components, designing blockchain technology, deploying sound cryptographic solutions and organising security audits.


Company description

Circularise is a supply chain traceability start-up founded in The Netherlands in 2016. We believe that end-to-end traceability holds the key to overcoming major challenges that society faces in the areas of Circular Economy, Environmental Pollution, Carbon Emissions. Therefore, it’s our mission to bring traceability to global supply chains and to accelerate the world's transition to a Circular Economy.

‍Circularise is disrupting an industry by changing how companies trace their products and materials and share information about them, enabling sustainable practices on an unprecedented level. We achieve that with a blockchain based open protocol that enables sharing of information about products and materials while retaining privacy over sensitive information.
