Job Brief

FreshCredit® is looking for rust/blockchain engineers to build a borderless financial technology platform providing credit scoring services for consumers and businesses, not a bank.

FreshCredit® is a platform that is composed of mobile apps, RESTful API, smart contracts, blockchains and/or parachains (Bitcoin, Polkadot, and our own FreshCredit® Token “FRESH”). Together, they enable you access a fair, transparent, and compliant credit reporting, disputing, and scoring system to transact with any individual, business, or organization on the internet without giving up control of your data.

FreshCredit® is looking for open source and core team members as builders, maintainers, testers, validators of the FreshCredit® Network.

As a Rust engineer, your first project will be:

Working w/ The Substrate Framework

Polkadot (Substrate) is an enterprise solution for building, deploying, and running distributed ledgers (also called blockchains).”

Our company has tried implementing a PoW consensus engine. However, it may not be very straightforward; Substrate has changed the architecture and we wish to implement the new consensus engine in Rust.
