About the role

DNA Protocol is building privacy-first digital identity tools that connect credentials, scoped proofs and verifiable XRPL evidence. As a Blockchain Genomics Engineer, you will apply cryptography and bioinformatics expertise to genomic use cases within that broader platform.

You will design commitments, integrate credential and proof workflows with ledger-facing services, and improve transaction reliability. Keep sensitive genomic records off-chain and distinguish evidence of integrity from claims about biological identity or issuer trust.

Responsibilities

  • Develop XRPL integrations for credential registry evidence and verification receipts, including genomic applications
  • Design versioned commitments for genomic records with clear provenance, privacy boundaries and verification assumptions
  • Collaborate with bioinformatics and data science teams
  • Improve transaction submission, validated-outcome handling and reconciliation with application records
  • Conduct protocol-level audits and performance testing

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years in blockchain development (XRPL)
  • Solid understanding of cryptographic hashing (SHA256, Blake2, etc.)
  • Experience with DNA sequence formats (FASTA, FASTQ)
  • Strong in Rust, Go, or TypeScript
  • Knowledge of Web3 wallets and identity management systems
