Roll
Roll is building blockchain infrastructure for social money. We believe blockchain-based social money can allow everyone to own, control and coordinate the value they create online. We're building a social money layer for the web that will handle issuance, distribution and provide pathways to use for all social money.
We're launching this quarter and issuing branded social money for some of the top digital creators in the world. The product will wrap around existing social platforms, giving fans and followers additional access while enabling creators to build their own social money economy without changing existing behavior.

Engineering at Roll
We operate on weekly release cycles. We use Github PRs for code reviews and coverage. We meet twice a week to discuss the week ahead, and look back on the week. Engineers work closely with our design and product teams. Engineers have a lot of say in how the product features are built, and how customers end up interacting with those.
We run our own nodes to get first-party blockchain data. Security is a top priority for us, including storing funds in cold storage (away from computers that are connected to the internet). We have unique challenges around some parts of the application that need us to move slowly and cautiously (such as smart contracts on the blockchain), and others that are more typical of a web application.
You would define our backend web architecture that underlies our application, and scale it as we grow. Your backend will interact with the blockchain and the frontend. You will define the development process we've adopted (using APIs for most interactions) and open it up for third-party applications down the road.
Working at Roll
We are a startup that values our vision to let creators own the value they generate online. We love to get ideas from everyone on how to make our product better for our customers. We also love it when our engineers lead the way towards better systems and processes we can all adopt.
