  • Develop and uphold best practices for protocol upgrades and versioning across various proof-of-stake networks
  • Stay informed about the latest releases in Solidity, EVM, developer tools, and security vulnerabilities
  • Participate in code reviews and offer constructive feedback to peers

About You

The ideal candidate will have

  • A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or related fields
  • 3+ years of industry experience, with a minimum of 2 years in smart contract development using Solidity for Ethereum or EVM-based chains

  • Familiarity with cryptography
  • Proficiency in full-stack software development or at least one contemporary web development framework like React
  • Participation in the developer community and collaboration with engineering teams within the ecosystem, potentially contributing to open-source blockchain projects

You enjoy contributing in a team environment
