Job Description

Company R3 is an enterprise blockchain software firm working with a broad ecosystem of more than 300 members and partners across multiple industries from both the private and public sectors to develop on Corda, our open-source blockchain platform, and Corda Enterprise, a commercial version for enterprise usage. Our global team of over 190 professionals in 13 countries is supported by over 2,000 technology, financial, and legal experts drawn from our global member base. Our Corda platform is already being used in industries from financial services to healthcare, shipping, insurance and more. It records, manages, executes institutions' financial agreements in perfect synchrony with their peers, creating a world of frictionless commerce. Corda has seen widespread adoption amongst more than 300 partners of R3 as their distributed ledger platform of choice. This is based on a unique data sharing model which brings the benefits of blockchain to managing agreements between parties, while preserving the privacy of transactions. One of our observations from the last 3 years of project implementation is that innovative startups building on Corda want to get to "market fit" with their applications as soon as possible, without having to worry about managing heterogenous on-premises deployments, or building a 24/7 operational team. We believe offering a cloud-based, SAAS model for Corda will help them do this, by being able to focus on their application and their business network of participants. Because of this R3 is evaluating and intends to build a SAAS implementation of Corda. This is an amazing "greenfield" opportunity within an extremely well-funded startup. While we always say at R3 that the future is what we make it, and we write our own rules, it is especially true for this opportunity, since the SAAS model has not been implemented here before, and no-one is going to second-guess your decisions.
