Description

👋 GM

We are OpenCover — our mission is to keep the world safe onchain.

OpenCover.com operates at the intersection of blockchain security and insurance. Working in tandem with leading underwriters and industry players, we protect individuals, businesses and institutions against onchain risks such as malicious transactions, smart contract exploits and depegs.

Founded by Y Combinator alums, our team is backed by Tier 1 investors including Alliance, Coinbase Ventures (Base Ecosystem Fund), NFX, Village Global and Orange DAO, with support from the Lloyd’s of London Lab.

Want to join a high-performance, high-integrity team taking onchain safety to the next level? Read on.

🚀 Your role

You would join the founding team to develop core backend infrastructure working closely with our CTO. Your role would focus on expanding the first transaction security layer to insure billions in value. The work involves collaborating with top protocols and industry players to prevent incidents like the ByBit hack from ever happening again.

Areas you’ll work on

  • Soft auditing and semantic modelling of leading protocol designs and functions.
  • Designing, implementing and backtesting transaction validation checks.
  • Developing asset pricing and transaction risk models.
  • Tracking exposure and other insurance metrics in real-time.
  • Iterating and expanding our API based on customer feedback.
  • Staying up to date with industry trends including EIPs and security incidents.

You’d be a great fit if

  • You’re a generalist who quickly embraces new technologies and challenges with a passion for building products from the ground up in a collaborative, tight-knit team.
  • You go all out to use your knowledge and work well autonomously but know when to reach out for support.
  • You have 5+ years of full-time experience developing and shipping backend services with Node.js and TypeScript.
  • You’ve designed, implemented and/or audited smart contracts on EVM-compatible chains and have hands-on experience using DeFi.
  • You’re familiar with PostgreSQL, messaging brokers, AWS/GCP, Docker, Bash and Linux.
  • You are constantly improving your tech stack and use AI tools to accelerate development.

🙌 Our offer

  • Put your dent in the universe: build products for and with some of the largest players across Web3 and TradFi.
  • Directly impact company trajectory and play a key role in driving onchain adoption.
  • Work IRL with the team at Lloyd’s of London 1–5 days a week— your choice!
  • Flexible hours with 28 days of paid holiday plus company closure days.
  • Competitive compensation based on experience + 0.1–0.5% equity.
  • The equipment you need to do your best work + $1,000 for well-being and personal development each year.
  • Company-paid travel to events and conferences, if that’s your thing!
