Description

About the Datachain initiative

Datachain announced a project to build a global payment solutions infrastructure on 5 September 2024!
Since its inception in 2018, Datachain has been continuing R&D on technology and business opportunities with the aim of creating a ‘De-Facto infrastructure’ as a Global x Deep Tech company from Japan.

We aim to become a Decacorn (a start-up with an enterprise value of more than USD 10 billion), and we are often told that we need to win in Global x Deep Tech to realize this goal.

As a major first step, the announced project will start, but we have a limited amount of time to get off to a flying start with a big advantage in this area, where the world's top companies will be our competitors. 

As the first penguin, we are currently rapidly expanding our recruitment in order to create a ‘De-Facto infrastructure’ as a Global x Deep Tech company from Japan.

 

Why Datachain can achieve this

  • We will develop an international remittance infrastructure using stable coins in collaboration with a communication network for financial transactions linking more than 11,000 institutions in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide, which are also used by major Japanese banks for overseas remittances.
  • In June 2023, Japan will be the first developed country to enact legislation on blockchain stablecoins, so that Japan leads the world in this area.
  • The technology Datachain has been researching and developing - blockchain-to-blockchain transmission technology - is leading the world.

 

Attractiveness of the position

Front-end engineers need to launch new systems in order to promote new major projects, and they need to be highly skilled to create the ideal environment for the system and the applications that will become the world's infrastructure.

In terms of implementation, in addition to the usual design aspects of front-end implementation, there are also direct calls to smart contracts and other applications on the blockchain. It is necessary to develop blockchain-specific long state management of intermediate states, which makes it interesting to design a UX that has never been done before.

    • Network:Ethereum、BNB Chain、Cosmos等

Requirements

  • Experience in understanding the value of the functionality to be implemented and proposing major changes to the implementation
  • Experience in sharing technical knowledge through pair-programming, mob-programming, walkthroughs, etc.
  • Experience in developing an environment to ensure the internal quality of the system
  • Selection of technologies including data stores, queries, caches, validators, etc., with a focus on Next.js, React, etc., and formulation of strategies for directory structure.
