About Symbiont

Symbiont is the enterprise fintech company creating the next generation of financial markets infrastructure using blockchain technology. Assembly™, Symbiont’s enterprise blockchain platform, creates efficiencies, eliminates manual data replication and reconciliation processes, and enables real-time data sharing with complete privacy. Headquartered in New York City, Symbiont is led by a team of experts in capital markets and blockchain technology.

Assembly is distinguished from other distributed ledger platforms by its focus on confidentiality without sacrifice of network decentralization or consistency guarantees. By layering state machine replication on top of a Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus protocol we're able to create an infrastructure with no central authority, allowing real time sharing of data and application logic between mutually distrusting parties. On top of Assembly, Symbiont has built end-to-end solutions in multiple areas such as data management, mortgage servicing, fixed income, commodities, and alternative assets.

An Applications Engineer at Symbiont works closely with business and product teams to define and build distributed applications on top of Assembly solving real world problems. Building highly complex applications on a blockchain is a novel domain, and application engineers will help define what it means to do so, sharing their insights to strategically shape the Assembly platform. You'll develop smart contract logic in SymPL, Assembly's purpose-built language that guarantees network consistency when executing distributed applications, as well as server side and frontend components for projects that require them.

As an engineer on the team you'll be expected to:

Grow an understanding of blockchain fundamentals and use them to design distributed applications from the ground up.
