Ternio | REMOTE | Full-Time

Ternio is responsible for the development of Block Card™, a prepaid crypto debit card accepted anywhere that VISA is accepted. We are uniquely positioned as having been one of the first providers approved in the US. We offer a whitelabel, API based solution for third party partners to directly integrate our underlying technology and platform and provide fiat on and off ramps for the greater crypto community. Our newest product is a full fledged, US based checking account. We'll be international by end of Q4 with other fiat on and off ramps. We're profitable, growing rapidly, and get to tackle interesting problems bridging traditional banking and cryptocurrency.

## ROLES

We're looking for a variety of roles, including:

* Full stack generalists specializing in JavaScript (node.js, express.js, Typescript)

* A lead developer (US based only)

* A senior cloud ops engineering looking to wrangle our sysadmin needs (and have a say in devops procedures)

## STACK

You can find a healthy mix of Ubuntu, AWS, Typescript, express.js, node.js, Laravel, Vue.js, Postgres, Redis, websockets, core nodes, and third party APIs and SDKs.

Isn't the timing of this a bit of a coincidence with the announcement of the new SHA1 collision exploit?

Sorry, fixed.

For those of you not on Keybase yet, here's the most important piece of information in the post:

"To qualify: you must have a Keybase account registered before this announcement OR if you're new to Keybase, you must connect your Keybase account to a GitHub or HackerNews account that was registered before this announcement. This is to prevent bot signups to Keybase."

The difference is one has a dedicated security team and the other does not.

I'm slightly concerned about routing my traffic through a non-major player in Anycast when I don't control the routing or software. I'd be worried it's quite an easy target for someone to do some DNS hijacking or packet sniffing.

There's a certain level of trust when I use 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. I'm unwilling to take the risk for this solution. I'm not sure what would help in the trust department to legitimize a solution like this.

I would bet on too much screen time for the whole family; seen it first hand. Parents sitting on their devices all evening and not interacting with their children. It's a missed opportunity for learning, especially at a young age.

My two major gripes are that it's first hitting the UK market and it has liquidation fees associated.

I agree with the premise that we shouldn't need to convert to fiat but unfortunately we have to follow the pace of adoption. You could create a POS device tied to a service that accepts crypto-only via chip and pin or magnetic for the business. I'm doubtful many businesses are hearing from their customers that they want crypto only payments, however.

I lead the development of a crypto debit card in the US. If anyone has questions, shoot me a message.

Which ones are touting crypto-friendliness (aside from Cash already having integrated crypto into their own app)?
