Stampery is looking for a Junior Android Developer | Full-time (Madrid)

JOB DESCRIPTION Our vision is to make every document and communication legally binding, using the blockchain technology. We provide proofs of existence, integrity and ownership of any given piece of data, in a costless and decentralized way. Our goal is to send notaries on vacation. We are expanding our team from 4 to 7, and one of these open positions is for an Android engineer. What we expect from you: - Passionate, hard working - Cares about the problem and builds first class solutions - Works in an autonomous way - Has a deep knowledge of Android development (in Java or other languages) - We don't expect a degree or work experience. All we care about is real know-how, not titles What you can expect from us: - Product-focused approach - Relaxed work environment where everything goes around the goals, and not the hours - Great office in the center of Madrid (Alonso Martinez), with a cool rooftop, kitchen and lots of sunlight - Display, keyboard, standing desk if necessary... we cover all that

PRODUCT Stampery relies on the bitcoin blockchain to generate reliable and unspoofable proof of ownership, proof of existence and proof of integrity at a minimum cost. The blockchain is a distributed and decentralized system, and thus the proof is verifiable any time by any independent third party

WHY US? - Product-focused approach - Relaxed work environment where everything goes around the goals, and not the hours - Great office in the center of Madrid (Hortaleza), with a cool rooftop, kitchen and lots of sunlight - Display, keyboard, standing desk if necessary... we cover all that

2015: Let's start discovering where the big disruption comes. Blockchain. Many companies like for example Stampery.co are using the technology behind bitcoin to change failed ways to do things, like certifying things.

Fucking assholes... Let the guys behind Telegram work, they're elevating the current level of messaging apps s big step further.
I think, the main idea, is to use the blockchain to enable a new democracy with Reddit, decentralizing the control of the community and giving users the ability to decide.

Btw, currently Reddit is owned by Conde Nast, one of the main editorial groups of the world. I think they don't want to share his control...

Thanks mate! Really appreciate your words :)

We will be adding some features in the next updates, for example tomorrow the v.1.1 will be out with a quick access to comments and upvotes from the main feed and a feature that lets you follow users in order to track their activity.

For the v.1.2 (out in one or two weeks) we are planning to add night mode (as you said), 1password integrations, collapse comments and some other fixers, you, users, requested. We are here to build together the best experience.

Btw, currently to access comments, until the new update, you have to open a post, and in the NavBar (at the right side) you have a icon that opens our actions menu > comments > reply and post new comments
