Software Engineer, Python SDK & Issuer APIs

Remote - Global

Apply

Empoorio was founded on the belief that people should own their digital identity — cryptographically secured, portable across services, and anchored on EmpoorioChain without platform lock-in. Today we are building KryptoOS, the sovereign identity layer for wallets, cloud, and enterprise integrators worldwide.

KryptoOS delivers production SSI — did:emp identifiers, verifiable credentials, issuer and verifier services, and multi-language SDKs. You will work on protocols used daily across the Empoorio ecosystem. We are looking for a talented, driven engineer to advance KryptoOS capabilities and deliver production-quality identity infrastructure. If you thrive in high-ownership environments where correctness and privacy matter, this role will be a strong next step in your career.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain SDKs, APIs, and developer tooling for issuers, holders, and verifiers
  • Ship production features with observability, integration tests, and clear upgrade paths
  • Partner with ecosystem teams on credential schemas and end-to-end integration flows
  • Improve developer experience — samples, CLI workflows, and CI-friendly test harnesses
  • Participate in on-call rotation for public identity services where applicable

Basic qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or equivalent practical experience
  • 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering, security, or distributed systems (1+ for specialist IC tracks)
  • Ability to work autonomously in a remote-first, async collaboration environment
  • Fluency in English for documentation, reviews, and partner communication

Preferred skills and experience

  • Experience with W3C Verifiable Credentials, DIDs, or OIDC4VCI / OIDC4VP
  • Contributions to Rust, TypeScript, Python, or Dart codebases used in production
  • Exposure to Substrate, Polkadot ecosystem, or blockchain anchoring patterns
  • Background in privacy engineering, applied cryptography, or formal security reviews
  • Prior work with wallet, fintech, or enterprise identity integrations

Additional requirements

  • Willing to overlap with EU and Americas time zones for critical releases and incidents
  • Able to travel up to 10% for team summits, partner workshops, or conferences
  • Reliable home internet and secure workstation suitable for development on sensitive cryptography code
