    ABOUT US

    Kyokan is a full-stack team of product-focused software engineers. We're fully remote, but primarily North American, and hang out a lot in the Bay Area. Kyokan means empathy in Japanese. We care about dedication to craft. We started our consultancy independent of the cryptocurrency industry, as a place for engineers to enjoy working on interesting projects, with awe-inspiring people. We're blockchain agnostic but lately have been working in the Ethereum ecosystem on DApps, wallets, and infrastructure. Here are some projects we've contributed to, that you may have heard of:
    - MetaMask - New V4 UI, Presented at Devcon3
    - Spankchain - Payment Channel Wallet
    - DFINITY - Network Visualizer/Dashboard
    - Gladius - Web Portal
    - Ethereum/ethereumjs-vm, vyper, redux-actions, and other useful OSS repositories

    OUR TEAM

    Our individual engineers bring experience working with notable companies including: Uber, Symphony, Goldman Sachs, Volkswagen, Staples, Verizon, and others. We offer full remote and a streamlined learning environment. Work whatever hours you choose, from anywhere.

    INTERVIEW PROCESS

    We strongly prefer skilled, quality work over having the right resume or showing up a certain way in an interview (although clear and thoughtful communication is a must). Therefore, we emphasize finding ways to experience your talents early in our process.

    Here’s what the successful steps of our hiring look like:
    - A brief, timed questionnaire (to take 30 minutes or less).
    - A phone call with our operations lead
    - A coding project (under 90 minutes)
    - 1 hour with our Founders

    That's it!
    If this sounds good, let's chat!

    Cheers,
    The Kyokan Team
