As a software engineer at Courtyard, you will become part of our mission to bring physical assets to the blockchain by developing our tokenization infrastructure and frontend. You will join a lean and experienced remote-first team of engineers that prioritizes technical ingenuity, authentic communication, and a get-it-done attitude. At Courtyard we trust each other to take ownership of our own work and to remain focused on the mission of the company. We value candid feedback and the ability to disagree without being disagreeable. We see being pushed out of our comfort zone as an opportunity to think differently, debate honestly, and collaborate on pushing the best ideas forward. We stay true to our highest convictions while being willing to pivot operationally when it makes sense.
If you would enjoy writing strongly-typed and thoroughly tested code on a team like this, Courtyard may be the place for you. We currently have a need for frontend and backend developers that are excited about our mission. You will use your expertise in traditional software engineering to develop a platform to onboard millions of collectors to web3, while having the opportunity to develop smart contracts and explore new possibilities across multiple chains.

Why you should join Courtyard
Courtyard is building the infrastructure to bring physical assets to the blockchain by creating physically backed NFTs. It aims to solve the friction inherent of trading high value collectibles (trading cards, sneakers, watches, art, etc.) and increase the liquidity of that market.
When an authenticated asset is tokenized on Courtyard’s platform, it is vaulted securely, and an NFT is created. This NFT is guaranteed to represent an authentic physical item no matter how many times it is traded to anyone, anywhere in the world. The NFT offers proof of ownership as well as a high-fidelity 3d rendering the owner can display proudly online. Users are already owning, trading, and showing off the Courtyard NFTs minted through our genesis drop in March 2022: https://opensea.io/collection/courtyard-nft
