Brink has always funded remote engineers, since our inception. Our London office is there for those who want an in-person space to collaborate, but it's always been optional. In fact, most of the engineers we've funded over the years have worked remotely. The mix shifts over time. Right now it's 5 in office and 4 remote. Wherever you are and whatever lets you do your best work on Bitcoin is what we're here to support.

Two research interns, Dongjia Zhang and Stratos, recently wrapped up their 3 months of work on fuzz testing for Bitcoin Core. Under the guidance of Niklas Gögge, each conducted independent research & experimentation on Fuzzamoto. Dongjia is a Ph.D. researcher specializing in software security and fuzzing, and is the maintainer of LibAFL, a popular fuzzing framework. His extensive background in fuzzing made him well suited to contribute to several of Fuzzamoto’s engineering and testing challenges. Stratos is a vulnerability researcher and approached Bitcoin Core security from a systems and protocol security perspective. Both engineers made meaningful contributions to Fuzzamoto. Their work extended protocol support, improved benchmarking infrastructure, scaled coverage analysis, and broadened target coverage for the testing platform.
