Rust Developer - Microservices Architecture

About Us

Yral is a decentralized social media platform (like TikTok) with integrated Prediction Markets, built on Internet Computer Protocol. The platform provides monetization avenues for 4.65 Billion social media lurkers (passive users) by enabling them to speculate on the short-video content created by other users on the platform. The vision is to create a user-driven and governed social media ecosystem with the users in the center.

Not only would the users be given the majority share of the wealth that is being generated in the ecosystem, but the users will also have complete control over the various aspects of the platform such as governance, content moderation, development, and management, making the ecosystem more equitable and user-centric. We, at Yral, are looking for an experienced Rust developer to help us build an internet scale backend.
