This role is extremely specialized: you will be responsible for the execution and design of the most revolutionary improvements of financial technology in the world. You will work directly with the Blueprints' founder to discuss technical details of implementations of new products, as well as the tradeoff space of the solutions.

It is not strictly necessary to understand how finance works or what are the current problems before applying. But it is necessary to understand what is the Blueprints' vision.

If you want your work to change the global capital allocation for the better, Blueprints is the place for you.

Requirements:

• successful in competitive programming, can invent and implement algorithms solving novel problems
• excellent at math, thinks from first principles
• deeply understands at least one programming language (read most important parts of the specification)
• feels physical pain when the code is imperfect
• has experience implementing low-level interactions and backends

Nice-to-haves:

• understanding of finance
• understanding of blockchain technology and DeFi
• passion of making useful stuff

How to apply:

Write an email to [email protected] answering the following questions:

• Why are Blueprints the place for you? Your response may not be applicable to any other organization in the world.
• What is one program/project you're most proud of? Why? Describe the most technically interesting part. Explain one tradeoff you had to consider, if there were any.
• What motivates you?
• What are you opinionated about?
• (optional) Tell me an important belief or truth, such that most of the world believes its opposite. Why is the world mistaken?

We are always looking for core contributors – people who want to commit to Blueprints in a much more extensive way then being an employee. It's as if you wanted to co-found Blueprints and want to treat is as your own.

This means that this role is suitable for you if you'd like yourself to be CEO, CTO, or any other superinfluential position you see yourself in, where you could make Blueprints significantly better.

If you feel like the above words describe you, describe yourself and answer the following questions in the application email: What would you like to do for Blueprints? How big commitments can you do for Blueprints? Why are you a perfect fit for Blueprints?
