Graduate Software Engineer (Digital Currencies)

At R3 you would be at the cutting edge of decentralized Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) technology.

Corda is a distributed DLT platform designed for running complex workflows between businesses, with or without any centralized points of control. You will work on a digital ledger platform trusted by banks, insurance companies, stock exchanges, payment companies, and other highly demanding industries, while dealing with the interesting technical challenges that come with them.

You will join the R3 Digital Currencies team to build the next generation digital currency systems that integrate directly to the blockchain.

This is an exciting time in the digital currency space. As part of the Digital Currencies engineering team you can expect to work on truly unique Central Bank Digital Currencies (CDBC) as Central Banks the world over are preparing for this transformation. Our Digital Currencies work also encompasses cutting edge products such as tokenised cash and other types of digital assets (e.g. digital bonds/derivatives) etc.

No team is an island - you will work with many others across the company, to help ensure we build the best possible products across the digital currencies, tokenised cash and digital asset DeFi ecosystem. You will have the opportunity to showcase your work and help influence your colleagues’ thinking.

You’re a highly motivated software engineer embarking on a career after completing your university degree. You have gained knowledge on the software development/design/architecture practices through your academics as well as work experience, and you’re excited to learn more and develop in this space. You have a strong grasp of Computer Science fundamentals and are curious to learn what it takes to build a secure, high quality, business critical system that supports extreme high volume transactions. You are curious and quick to learn about new technologies, and are keen to build on your skills by learning on the job. You have an interest in distributed systems generally and DLT more specifically.

Our software development is based on JVM languages, more specifically Java and Kotlin, but while advantageous, expertise in these languages is not an essential requirement. The important thing is that you have the software development expertise in some modern high level language and are willing to learn what is required for the role.

We believe that customer experience, quality, security, developer experience, and operational experience are everyone’s responsibility, so you’ll be driven by a passion to ensure excellence in all of these.
