Chaincode's Russell Yanofsky told CoinDesk:
"Bitcoin is an older codebase. It's changed a lot over time. There are lots of parts of it where, if we were writing everything from scratch, we'd probably do things differently. But since we have this legacy of code, we have to find ways to maintain it."
Chaincode Labs Inc. is a New York City-based research and development group that explores cryptocurrencies and other peer-to-peer decentralized systems.

Alex Morcos was one of the early pioneers of automated trading and co-founded Hudson River Trading in 2002, where he spent 10 years working to make markets more efficient and improve market structure. He discovered his passion for Bitcoin in 2012, and in 2014 he co-founded Chaincode with Suhas. He has enjoyed contributing to Bitcoin Core and learning about the exciting nascent field of cryptocurrency ever since.
Suhas Daftuar co-founded Hudson River Trading LLC in 2002, where he spent over a decade developing HRT into a global trading firm and helping to shape the complex policy debates surrounding technology in financial markets. In 2014, Suhas co-founded Chaincode Labs with Alex to create a place for engineers and scientists to support the development of decentralized digital currencies and further our collective understanding of how such technologies can work.
Matt Corallo is a long-time Bitcoin developer who has been contributing to Bitcoin Core since 2011. Matt helped co-found Blockstream where he co-authored the Sidechains whitepaper and implemented the Elements Sidechain. Matt also built and maintains the Bitcoin FIBRE project, the latest generation of low-latency Bitcoin block relay.
John Newbery worked in telecoms and network software in several different countries before deciding to pursue his passion and work full time on Bitcoin in 2016. He is excited about payment channels, lightning network and micropayments.
Russ Yanofsky is a recent contributor to Bitcoin, previously worked on web search at Google and set-top video software at Videon Central, Inc.
We're Hiring
We're currently seeking to hire talented engineers to join our team and contribute to the Bitcoin open-source project.
Qualified candidates will be comfortable working in a small team of developers and self-motivated to help improve Bitcoin technology with the broader open-source community. We're looking for experienced candidates who are equally comfortable discussing high-level system design and digging into code to understand how it works and how to improve it. This is a unique opportunity for highly qualified engineers with a passion for Bitcoin to work on open-source projects in a collaborative research environment.
Skills and Experience:
Several years experience working on large software projects (prior experience working on Bitcoin or other open-source projects is even better)
Expertise with C++ and Unix operating systems
Understanding of the cryptographic principles underpinning Bitcoin
Comfortable reading other people's code and understanding how it works
Intellectual curiosity and desire to keep up-to-date with the development of cutting edge technologies
BS/MS in Computer Science or a related technical field
To apply send us a resume and a cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why you're interested in Bitcoin research. Feel free to include any specific projects you'd like to tackle to help improve Bitcoin!
