Job Description

Proto’s mission is to accelerate the transition to a more open, equitable global economy. We believe open protocols like Bitcoin are integral to achieving that vision. The team’s first two initiatives—mining tools and a self-custody wallet, Bitkey—aim to decentralize access for builders, increase network resiliency, and make everyday use of bitcoin safe and easy. One principle across everything we do in Proto is open development – show and tell. We develop products in the open, you can read more about them at bitkey.build and mining.build.

The Proto Mining software team is a newly formed team responsible for prototyping, designing, and delivering software applications to support Block’s state-of-the-art custom Bitcoin mining chip.

  • Be responsible for the technical architecture of features that go into our products.
  • Scope and evaluate new technologies/architectures/practices to solve new problems on our roadmap.
