NEX is building the first high performance, cross-chain decentralized exchange (DEX). Today's DEXs cannot handle large order volume and in general offer very poor usability. Further, unlike most centralized exchanges, users cannot trade in national currencies. We are solving this problem through a fast, off-chain matching engine and a global network of banking partners. We are also among the first blockchain projects to launch a token as a fully regulated and compliant European security.

Our founders are responsible for creating CoZ, one of the largest open source blockchain communities (https://github.com/CityOfZion), where we have created software used by hundreds of thousands of users. Collectively, our team includes PhDs from Stanford and ETH Zurich, YC alumni, and award winning designers.

Some tech highlights:

- Elixir for our matching engine

- React / Redux for our front-end components

- NEO and Ethereum for smart contracts

We are looking for front-end and back-end engineers, developers familiar smart contracts, and PhD-level researchers in security or distributed systems. Please use the following form link to express your interest: https://goo.gl/forms/9vei5MhQ96Ug7Xs02
