Employee count: 11-50

At SpruceID, we are reimagining trusted interactions by creating the world’s best software for packaging beliefs digitally. We are a team of programmers working to develop world-class open source products and libraries implementing open global standards in identity.
There are no well-worn paths or theoreticals here. Every SpruceID technical staffer gets their hands dirty writing code, learning new technologies, and solving problems at the bleeding edge of our space. We hire results-oriented developers who love technology and are committed to intellectual honesty, user privacy, and innovation.
You will be responsible for developing cross-platform libraries, server software, full-stack applications, and infrastructure using multiple technologies including Rust. Our software is secure by design, professionally audited, and suitable for high stakes applications. You will also have the opportunity to contribute to emerging global technology standards for digital identity. While we don't require you to have Rust experience to apply for this job, you should demonstrate a strong aptitude for statically typed languages, memory management, and secure programming practices.
We are a fully distributed team, but our working hours run from PT (UTC-8) through CET (UTC+1).

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to new and existing Rust codebases that run on backend services, mobile devices, and in the browser
  • Write full-stack web and mobile applications
  • With support and review from cryptographers, use cryptographic APIs to implement digital signatures, message authentication, encryption/decryption, and zero-knowledge proof protocols for production applications
  • Work closely with customer delivery leads, engineers, product managers, and UX designers

Qualifications

  • 3+ years experience shipping widely-distributed backend software in statically-typed languages
  • Experience building web or mobile frontends using Javascript, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, or React Native
  • Experience with devops and infrastructure using AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Aptitude for computer security, correct use of cryptography, and user data privacy
  • Experience collaborating with geographically and culturally diverse engineering teams

Bonus

  • Experience working on public sector or enterprise software
  • Contributions to open source software projects and technology standards
  • Familiarity with operating system internals, compiler internals, memory management, and low level programming
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field
We are passionate about cultivating a thriving culture of diverse individuals who bring unique perspectives to our mission. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity or Veteran status.

About Spruce

Learn more about Spruce and their company culture.

View company profile

We believe users should be able to control their identity and data across all digital interactions.

Founders Wayne Chang and Gregory Rocco met while working at ConsenSys in Brooklyn, New York. They realized that the best way to ensure a user-centric future was to build the core infrastructure that lets users control their data across the web. Enter Spruce in early 2020. As implementers and architects of emerging global identity standards such as W3C Verifiable Credentials, Sign-In with Ethereum, and more, we recognize the importance of aligning the ecosystem and providing core open-source building blocks to make this all possible.

We Believe in

  • Enabling a world where users can control their data across the web.

  • Giving people security and privacy through private-by-default architectures.

  • Supporting builders with open-source software for user-controlled interactions.

Our Investors

We're proud to be backed by a world-class team of investors, including top founders, leaders, and institutions in the industry.

Grow With Us

We're a team of user control maximalists, and while we’re not zealots of any particular technology, we want to ensure that technology is never the limiting factor for a user-controlled future. We believe that the world is evolving toward one based on cryptography, networks, and digital economies that must all put user at the center.
