Smart Contracts - Scala & Algorithms

Project Scope

We are working on the project together with a partner from the Smart Contracts industry. We are developing our own language for defining contracts, ensuring consistency and security of transactions, as well as infrastructure for their launch. We are also creating components that enable the integration of the above-mentioned language with new and existing solutions in the area of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). The work is divided between several teams responsible for individual components and the performance of the solution. The product is used by large international companies in the financial industry.

This role specifically involves improving algorithmic performance and stack safety in transaction processing.

Apart from Scala proficiency, you must have a strong background in algorithms and data structures together with good JVM understanding.

Challenges

You’ll be responsible for implementing algorithmic performance and safety improvements, such as:

• ensuring stack safety and maximum performance of recursive method calls in transaction processing, 

• measure, identify and resolve bottlenecks in transaction processing,

• …with other critical algorithmic performance improvements over complicated data structures to follow.

You will be working closely with a highly skilled core team, so this is also an opportunity to learn and grow, improving critical parts of a large productive system.
