Scala Engineer

Constellation is a decentralized network, written in Scala, enabling developers to build highly scalable application-specific blockchains. Developers can create Metagraphs, or subnetworks, customizing them with their own business logic for data validation, consensus, and token-based incentives or fees. The microservice-inspired architecture of Metagraphs allows them to scale for big data and high-throughput workloads. Constellation has also partnered with the US Department of Defense since 2019 to develop military-grade cross-chain messaging capabilities. The team is 100% remote and international, with a strong focus on open-source work.
