A bit about the role/company:
Unique blockchain assets (“NFTs”) are experiencing a massive surge in popularity. These unique assets allow people to own anything from in-game items to digital art, music, and financial instruments.
However, they are highly illiquid: transactions take minutes or hours to confirm, and Ethereum can process fewer than 5 NFTs per second for the whole world combined. To solve this problem for ourselves and others, we have built Immutable X, a next-generation protocol for trading blockchain assets with instant trade confirmation, massive scalability, and no gas fees without compromising user custody.
The goal of Immutable X is to help businesses scale their creation and trading of these unique assets (“NFTs”). As Immutable X grows, we are searching for a Lead Site Reliability Engineer who will help us secure this trading and exchange technology and protect user assets.
