• Work closely with scientists and protocol engineers to design efficient and secure protocols.
• Participate in security reviews, simulations, and adversarial thinking exercises.
• Write thorough tests and documentation.

Qualifications:

Must-haves:

• 2+ years of experience with Solidity and Ethereum smart contract development.
• Deep understanding of EVM, gas model, state management, EIPs, and tooling (Foundry, Hardhat, etc.).
• Experience deploying and maintaining production-grade contracts.
• Familiarity with DeFi protocols, MEV-aware design, and on-chain incentives.
• Good understanding of smart contract security and common pitfalls.

Nice-to-haves:

• Background in distributed systems, auctions, or mechanism design.
• Prior work on high-performance protocols or real-time systems.
• Experience writing Rust and familiarity with Reth.
