About the role

This engagement is focused on architecting and delivering the developer experience and integration layer for high-stakes Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) financial products. The project requires a specialized engineering partner capable of executing deliverables across a hybrid environment that combines expert-level TypeScript depth with the ability to competently interface with a Scala codebase.

Project Scope

We are working on the project together with a partner from the Smart Contracts industry. We are contributing to key components of the platform 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 engagement is focused on Software Developer Kit libraries and API definitions around a wallet application that is built on top of a distributed ledger. 

The scope of cooperation covers

• SDK Evolution & Standardization: Extending and polishing the existing Wallet SDK libraries in close collaboration with product teams, while driving the design of new, multi-language client library standards with a reference implementation in TypeScript.

• Ledger API & Code-Gen Optimization: Refining and smoothing the Ledger API’s OpenAPI definitions using Tapir (Scala) and maintaining Scala-based code-generation tools. This autonomous role requires deep expertise in API design to deliver clean, production-ready interfaces.
