About the DeRec Alliance: The DeRec Alliance is a dynamic, not-for-profit coalition formed to revolutionize how individuals and institutions safeguard and recover digital secrets—ranging from private keys and passwords to identity credentials, photos, and documents. Built on the open-source Decentralized Recovery (DeRec) protocol, the Alliance offers a seamless, user-friendly approach to secret recovery without compromising privacy.

Founding members include: Hedera (including Hashgraph, the Hedera Foundation and The Hashgraph Association), Algorand Foundation, Ripple and XRPL Labs, and Input Output (IOHK). 

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain APIs for Decentralized Recovery systems, ensuring scalability, security, and performance. You won't just know how to call and use existing APIs, but rather truly architect. 
• Build robust and maintainable systems to support long-term project goals, avoiding design decisions that could lead to persistent errors
• Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, primarily in Rust, to implement API functionalities and system components
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, establish best practices, and ensure seamless integration of APIs with other systems
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to maintain high-quality standards
• Stay updated on industry trends and emerging technologies to incorporate best practices into system design and development

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of experience in programming with at least 3 recent years in Rust
• Excellent API design and architecture skills
• Strong proficiency in Rust programming language, with a focus on writing clean and maintainable code
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Experience in not just consuming, but also producing REST APIs
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and communicate technical concepts effectively
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail to avoid long-term architectural errors

Other skills that are great to bring with you but that we can help you develop:

• Familiarity with additional programming languages (e.g. Java, Python, GoLang)
• Experience with decentralized systems, blockchain, or distributed ledger technologies
• Knowledge of GraphQL and gRPC APIs or other API frameworks
• Understanding of DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines and containerization (e.g., Docker)
• Experience in open source projects
