Javascript Developer - Smart Contract Tooling (m/f/d) - remote

Smart contracts in Substrate are designed with safety, efficiency and conciseness in mind. Having WebAssembly as a compilation target, Parity developed a Rust-based smart contract language called ink! while giving developers the option to write contracts in other languages, as well. A range of contract examples in ink!, Rust, AssemblyScript and Solang can be found in the `pallet-contracts-waterfall` repo.
