Job description

Rockstar is recruiting for a foundation dedicated to supporting the growth, decentralization, and sustainability of a leading decentralized finance protocol. This client is committed to driving value in key focus areas such as Protocol and Innovation, Developers, Governance, Research, and Security through strategic grant-making.
The foundation is seeking a Protocol Engineer to join their technical team and contribute to the development of smart contracts for in-house projects, the protocol, Unichain, and grantee collaborations.
As a Protocol Engineer, the candidate will play a key role in designing, implementing, and optimizing smart contract systems. The role involves participating in technical design discussions, weighing trade-offs between optimization, flexibility, and integration, while also providing design feedback for ecosystem participants such as hook developers and Unichain DeFi projects.
What the Candidate Will Do:
- Design, implement, and optimize Solidity-based smart contracts for projects related to the protocol, focusing on security, efficiency, and maintainability.
- Provide technical guidance and design feedback for external developers building on the protocol and Unichain, including hook developers and DeFi projects.
- Explore and prototype new DeFi primitives, trading mechanisms, and smart contract architectures to expand the protocol's capabilities.
- Participate in design sessions and code reviews, ensuring high standards in code quality, security, and organization.
- Implement unit tests, fuzz testing, and gas optimizations to ensure smart contract reliability and performance.
As a Protocol Engineer, the candidate may work on:
- Hooks and reference implementations for the protocol's latest version
- Experimental swapping UX designs
- Indexers and graph traversal algorithms
- Composable DeFi legos
- SDK abstractions and developer tooling
- Periphery integrations such as liquidity management tools and swap-and-add functionalities
What the Candidate Brings to the Table:
Required Skills & Experience:
- Strong understanding of DeFi patterns and smart contract architecture
- At least two years of experience writing complex Solidity smart contracts with an emphasis on readability, maintainability, and security
- Proficiency with Foundry, including cheatcodes, foundry.toml, and script execution
- Experience with unit testing and fuzz testing for smart contract security
- Confidence using Git and managing version control in a collaborative engineering environment
- Ability to design clean abstractions and reusable smart contract components
- Familiarity with the protocol's latest version contracts and related DeFi protocols
Nice to Haves:
- Experience with Yul and low-level opcodes for gas-efficient smart contract development
- Knowledge of gas optimization techniques
- Experience with invariant testing for smart contract correctness
- Public speaking experience for developer outreach and technical presentations
- Familiarity with TypeScript for SDK and front-end integrations
About the Foundation:
In pursuit of a more open and fair financial system, the foundation supports the growth, decentralization, and sustainability of the community. Through grants, they are driving value in five key focus areas: Protocol and Innovation, Developers, Governance, Research, and Security. Their grant-making approach is designed to maximize positive impact, bringing in new contributors to the community who focus on building new initiatives, committees, products, infrastructure, and more.
