Software Engineer

At R3, we are building the on\-ramp for the next trillion dollars of assets to move on\-chain, bridging the worlds of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). We are launching institutional\-grade RWA yield vaults, fully composable and integrated into Solana DeFi. We are also the producers of Corda, the enterprise\-grade distributed ledger platform trusted by regulated financial institutions globally, built for the constraints of regulated finance: permissioned networks, deterministic consensus, and privacy by design.

• *About the Role**
• -----------------

This particular role sits on the Corda side of our mission, specifically within our project team working on Corda 4\. You'll be building and maintaining production\-grade software that regulated financial institutions rely on daily. We're looking for a motivated, enthusiastic Software Engineer who's eager to learn and get hands\-on with a different class of engineering problem, one built on distributed systems and deterministic finality, with reliability requirements at a scale you won't find in a typical web stack. You'll work closely with experienced engineers, participate in the full software development cycle, and get direct exposure to how financial institutions actually run DLT in production.
