We are looking for someone to work with us on developing an app on the Internet Computer. If you’re not familiar with the Internet Computer, you can find more details on the dfinity website.

Essentially they’re intention is to build a new decentralized Internet, where applications are deployed as canisters directly on the Internet Computer. Anything that compiles down to Wasm can run on the Internet computer, but they have developed a programming language called Motoko specifically for the Internet Computer.

While the Internet Computer can “potentially” run any type of application, some applications will be better suited than others based on cost, architecture and other factors. We’re looking for someone that can explore these options with us.
If you're potentially interested, let me know.
Sounds like ethereum...
There are some similarities for sure but some key differences too.
They’re both blockchain based, use tokens and smart contracts but in the case of the Internet Computer it’s more about the security and organizational structures those tools provide than the value of a token exchanged for currency.
It’s a platform that allows you to easily develop, deploy and scale apps. Not just easier than other crypto platforms but easier than on AWS or GCP.
What they need more than anything right now are apps and the dfinity foundation has 200 million in grants to fund people that want to build them.
Seems like it could be a great opportunity for some in this community. Here is a link to the grants page.
