Arcana previously Newfang Careers

What Arcana (previously Newfang) Does:

Arcana is The Storage Layer for Ethereum with a Privacy Stack for developers to build secure and privacy preserving apps. Users care about privacy now more than ever before and it is becoming a first-class citizen in the modern development stack. Arcana makes it easier for apps to be privacy-focused out of the box.

With Arcana’s privacy stack, developers give control of data back to their users. They can easily integrate our SDK with their apps and use our modular feature blocks for Authentication, Identity Management, Encryption, Access Control, and Decentralized Storage. All of which are secured by and verifiable on the blockchain.

Arcana is stack of services to help developers build more secure and privacy preserving apps.

We are looking to onboard a lead for our blockchain engineering team. At Arcana we are building our own sovereign EVM compatible chain with its own set of validators. Security, Scalability and Interoperability are the primary goals of the blockchain and we're looking to put together some of the best minds to achieve this. This is a full-time role and completely remote friendly.

• Experience in managing a team of engineers for at least 2+ years.
• Must have significant experience with Geth (Go Ethereum) or equivalent blockchain nodes and p2p
• Must be proficient with Golang
• Deep understanding of Blockchain, Solidity, Assembly, and the EVM
• Experience in standard software practices including clean code, unit tests and CI/CD
• Knowledge of Rust, Javascript, Typescript or Node.js is a plus
• Active member of the dev community will be a plus (e.g. experience contributing to OSS or EIPs)
• Experience in leading and communicating with remote teams

At Arcana we are building a privacy centric decentralised data store that allows developers to build more secure and privacy preserving apps for their users.

We are looking to onboard an experienced Golang developer to work on the core protocol we are building. You must:

• Have 3+ years of development experience
• Have 3+ years of Golang development experience in production
• Have worked on distributed systems in production
• Have experience with Goroutine and channels
• Have experience with applied cryptography
• Write clean code and documentation
• Have clear bias for TDD
• Find Git very easy to use
• Have knowledge of Unix/Linux fundamentals - shell scripting, CLI tools etc.
• Have some knowledge of devops
• Have some blockchain experience

We at Arcana(arcana.network) are looking for someone well versed with applied math and cryptography to help design our protocol and allied systems.

Specifically, we are looking for knowledge in a significant subset of the following:

1. Verifiable Delay Function(VDF) implementation
2. Distributed key generation(DKG) and management(DKMS)
3. Encryption schemes
4. Game theoretical (dis)incentivisation on a decentralized network
5. Distributed Random Number generation
6. End to End Encryption schemes
7. Zero Knowledge proofs
8. Verifiable computation

Academics and part time consultants also welcome to apply.
