Rust Developer

Bitonic is looking for a pragmatic Rust developer to join our team. We are looking for a colleague who enjoys working in a scale-up environment with a lot of freedom and an unconventional approach.

Fulltime / parttime - Amsterdam

Bitonic

In April 2012 Bitonic was the first in the Netherlands to start offering (automated) bitcoins via iDEAL. We do so via our website and our app. Besides, customers have the possibility to store their bitcoin at Bitonic (custodial) instead of in their own wallet and to automatically buy bitcoin with Auto Invest.

Bitonic's mission statement is: Bitcoin for everyone. As such, our team is passionate about providing an accessible and convenient service for buying and selling bitcoins.

Bitonic's organizational structure is based on the principles of Holacracy consisting of self-managing circles. This system makes a flat organizational structure which values each opinion equally. The work-culture within Bitonic offers a lot of freedom to fulfill your role in the way you think is best and gives the possibility to bring your ideas to the table and work those out.

Rust Developer at Bitonic

Within Bitonic, both core projects and internal tools are written in Rust, allowing for a wide range of projects. Some examples of projects in Rust:

• Our Bitcoin wallet/accounting system (Custodial Wallet)
• Transaction monitoring tooling (Compliance Tooling)
• Blockchain analytics tooling
• Inventory management system

The focus of this role will initially be on the first two projects, as they currently require the most work. An explanation of these two projects is provided below.

Custodial Wallet

At Bitonic, we offer the use of a custodial wallet. This means we hold customers' bitcoins and euros in-house, placing security, reliability and accurate record-keeping at the core of our operations.

The custodial wallet back-end is responsible for maintaining customers' euro and bitcoin balances and securely processing various types of transactions, such as deposits, withdrawals and trades. The software communicates with the payment infrastructure of banks and payment service providers, handling payments and monitoring on the bitcoin blockchain.

Within this project, you will collaborate with the app team, the website team, the finance department and, of course, other back-end developers to ensure correct and secure processing of all financial flows.

Compliance Tooling

As a financial service provider, Bitonic is required to comply with legislation on anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering. The Compliance department handles customer verification, transaction monitoring and other analyses, using our own transaction monitoring software.

The team is responsible for improving the quality of life for internal departments, as well as building the functionalities required by the current and future regulations.

The back-end of the current tool is mainly written in Rust and Golang. Our ambition is to continue building on this. The front-end is written in React.

In this project, you will work closely with the Compliance Officer and KYC analysts, as well as with the Customer Relations team and, of course, the frond-end and other back-end developers.

• You are living in the Netherlands. If you don’t speak Dutch, proper English skills are required.
