Senior Software Engineer
Memri, Netherlands

We are Memri and we're solving a big problem. We are continuously generating data and information about ourselves but we have little control or access to it. Many of the services that we use are built to capture our attention rather than help us achieve our goals as individuals; all the while, they compromise our freedoms, agency and trust. We are on a mission to fix this.

We are building an open source community within the Web3 space, and we are tackling data challenges through shared creativity and collaboration. We want to create a world where technology is better aligned with people’s needs today. We build tools that empower people to create a new web - one that is private, trustworthy and free from centralized control.Among the core team, we have founders who have built and sold multiple companies to the world’s industry leaders. We are an international company with a hub in Amsterdam and a diverse, remote team based across Europe and Asia.

We use Rust for the backend, Flutter for Android, desktop and the web, Python for plug-ins.

We pick the best tool for the job, without being fanatics about any language or tool we use. We encourage following best practices and aim for improvement, not tech stagnation. We work hard to make things simple.
