Your Role

Security Emphasis
The LocalCryptos marketplace is not only a website, but an all-in-one cryptocurrency wallet and end-to-end encrypted messaging platform. Because of this, development of any kind requires special attention to detail with security in mind at all times. Applicants should bear in mind that this heavy focus on security can interrupt ‘normal’ coding practices; developers will need to continuously assess potential risks to user's private keys and create innovative alternatives or workarounds.
