Senior Technical Writer Full Time (Remote)

Cartesi is the first OS on the blockchain, and their Layer-2 solution integrates Linux and standard programming environments to blockchain. This allows developers to code scalable smart contracts with rich software tools, libraries, and services they are used to.

Cartesi bridges the gap between mainstream software and blockchain, welcoming millions of new startups and their developers to blockchain by bringing Linux to blockchain applications. Cartesi combines a groundbreaking virtual machine, optimistic roll-ups, and side-chains to revolutionize the way developers create blockchain applications.

Why we are here

Blockchain adoption is a niche. Only 0.1% of developers have explored blockchain because of its inconveniences. Developers worldwide deal with very restrictive environments and cannot code smart contracts with mainstream software. With an operating system like Linux, they could use existing software and tools to create blockchain applications. Cartesi is a layer-2 solution that integrates Linux and standard programming environments to the blockchain. Allowing developers to code scalable smart contracts with rich software tools and components they are used to.

“Cartesi bridges the gap between mainstream software and blockchain, welcoming millions of developers to the blockchain.”
