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.
EmpoorioChain anchors identity commitments on-chain with Substrate pallets for DID registry and VC anchoring. You will ship runtime code, node operations, and tooling for public testnet and beyond. You will extend EmpoorioChain runtime pallets and coordinate upgrades with validator and indexer operators. If you thrive in high-ownership environments where correctness and privacy matter, this role will be a strong next step in your career.
Responsibilities
- Develop and audit Substrate pallets for DID registry and verifiable credential anchoring
- Optimize block production, fee markets, and identity-related extrinsic throughput
- Coordinate runtime upgrades with validator operators and public RPC providers
- Write benchmarks, integration tests, and migration plans for on-chain identity state
- Document chain parameters and governance proposals affecting identity economics
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
