Ex Populus - Blockchain Developer - Screening Questions

TL;DR: Ex Populus does not make standard NFTs, tokens, and swap protocols. A majority of our code is brand new standards where there are no examples to reference. We are looking for the type of developer that understands the underlying technology & limitations of the blockchain and uses this knowledge to achieve business goals.

Welcome to Ex Populus's Blockchain Developer Screening

At Ex Populus, we pride ourselves on innovation and pioneering within the blockchain space. Unlike many in our industry, we don't focus on standard NFTs, tokens, and swap protocols. Instead, we're trailblazers, crafting brand new standards and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Our projects often involve venturing into uncharted territory, developing code and protocols without existing examples to reference.

What We Value in This Role

We are on the lookout for exceptional talent - developers who not only possess a deep understanding of blockchain technology and its inherent limitations but also have the creativity and insight to leverage this knowledge in achieving ambitious business goals. Our ideal candidate is someone who thrives in an environment of innovation, is comfortable with unexplored paths, and is eager to contribute to the development of groundbreaking blockchain standards.

Why Your Responses Matter

Here at Ex Populus, we believe that a candidate's thought process, problem-solving skills, and innovative spirit are the best indicators of success in our unique and challenging projects. This is why we place a significant emphasis on your responses to the screener questions in this form.
