Job description

Founded in 2015, IO Global is one of the world's pre-eminent blockchain research and engineering companies, best known for the Cardano blockchain platform. We are a fully decentralized, remote-working organization committed to the highest principles of academic rigour and evidence-based software development. The company builds high-assurance blockchain products for public and private sector clients.
Our goal is simple - to fuel our drive to be best in class by giving you the opportunity, resources and support to deliver your finest work to date. You'll work with some exceptionally talented and friendly individuals who are always open to new ideas and ways of working.
IO Global is an advocate of decentralized remote working, with 300 people working in more than 50 countries. Everyone has a different skill set, a different culture, and is at a different stage in their life. We aim to make collaboration between diverse people fun, exciting, and always rewarding. Many companies say they 'think outside the box' - for IO Global it's more, 'we think outside the geography'. About the role:

IO Global, developer of the Cardano blockchain platform, is looking for a Knowledge Engineer to join its sidechains team, based on Ethereum virtual machine execution. You will be working with highly skilled people and be responsible for knowledge management in what is a relatively new project for IOG.

As a Knowledge Engineer, you will be in charge of organizing, aggregating, and creating the team's internal knowledge.

You will also be responsible for creating training materials (coding exercises and courses) and training teams and departments (including engineering, research, education, professional services, and technical support) in our systems. You'll become an expert in the subject, and your feedback will be essential as we improve our stack and expand our developer ecosystem. Duties will include:

  • Creating, contributing to, and maintaining sources of knowledge in the organization, such as wikis, Confluence pages, bibliographies, and code documentation
  • Developing training materials (coding exercises, tutorials, courses)
  • Helping colleagues to find information

  • Knowledge of the layers of blockchain technology
