We have become a market leader in Bitcoin security and Layer-2 technologies. Our products are designed to make financial systems more efficient, secure, and robust.
Blockstream is seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to join the team behind Jade, our flagship open-source hardware wallet. Jade is the cornerstone of our self-custody mission, providing a versatile, secure environment for Bitcoiners - from those just starting their journey to power users demanding air-gapped, multisig, and descriptor-based transaction signing.
As a skilled Senior Firmware Engineer joining our high-impact team, you will work closely with our existing lead developers to build and refine the firmware that secures our users' assets.

Work as a core contributor to the Blockstream Jade firmware, writing robust, secure C/Python code within a small, agile team.
Extend and optimize our support for advanced signing protocols such as taproot, atomic swaps, and simplicity.
Design and implement features like air-gapped camera signing, cryptographic primitives, and secure communication protocols.
Develop optimized solutions to work within a resource constrained execution environment.
Contribute to a transparent, open source codebase where your work is visible to the entire Bitcoin community.
What We Look For In You (Required Qualifications)
Proven track record in C/C++ development for microcontrollers with real world esp32/esp32s specific experience.
Solid understanding of Bitcoin internals, with a specific focus on Taproot, SegWit, and PSBTs.
Experience with secure boot, memory protection, and defending against software based and side-channel attacks.
Comfortable working with peripherals (cameras, screens) and low-level protocols (SPI, I2C, UART).
An active GitHub presence with contributions to open-source projects is highly preferred.
Nice To Haves (Preferred Qualifications)
Previous experience working in a team and working with remote team members.
Familiarity with Python for tooling and testing.
