  • Be integral to implementing novel economic systems built on top of Ethereum.
  • Work regularly with security auditors and external contributors to document and upgrade code.
  • Support and maintain an active test economy, as well as integrations with partner protocols.
  • Act as a primary contributor to the tech community, evaluating and implementing upgrade proposals.
  • Ensure smart contracts track state of the art by evaluating new DeFi protocols, EIPs, Layer 1 and Layer 2 mechanisms, etc.

We’re looking for you if:

  • You’re drawn to the hardest problems with the greatest potential impact.
  • You combine strong CS/Software Engineering fundamentals with a strong background in math and security.
  • You have knowledge of cryptography fundamentals and independent interest in economics.
  • You fail fast, prioritize tests, and you’re comfortable up and down the software stack.
100% remote role for any location USA or Europe.
