About the company

We are a team of world class builders and researchers with expertise across several domains: Ethereum Protocol Engineering, Layer-2, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Miner Extractable Value (MEV), Smart Contract Development, Security Auditing and Formal Verification. Working to solve some of the most challenging problems in the blockchain space, we frequently collaborate with renowned companies, such as Ethereum Foundation, StarkWare, Gnosis Chain, Aave, Flashbots, xDai, Open Zeppelin, Forta Protocol, Energy Web, POA Network and many more. We actively contribute to Ethereum core development, EIP’s and network upgrades together with the Ethereum Foundation, and other client teams.

Job Summary

Your responsibilities will include:

šŸ“Core Protocol Development: Design, build, test, and deploy our Solidity smart contracts, including the ChaosCore factory, StudioProxy architecture, and the RewardsDistributor engine. šŸ“Integrate Cutting-Edge Tech: Implement the off-chain components of our protocol, including communication via XMTP and permanent data storage on IPFS/Arweave for our Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). šŸ“Ensure Security & Reliability: Write comprehensive tests (unit, integration, and fork tests), participate in security audits, and build robust monitoring and alerting for our production systems. šŸ“SDK & Tooling: Evolve our public Python and TypeScript SDKs into a world-class developer toolkit, ensuring they're powerful, easy to use, and drive adoption. šŸ“Protocol Architecture & Security: Work directly with the founder to shape the protocol's roadmap, research new primitives (TEEs, ZK), and maintain an obsessive focus on security through rigorous testing and audit preparation. šŸ“Partner Engineering: Collaborate directly with the engineering teams of our launch partners, like Gaia, EigenCloud and others, to ensure their agent ecosystems can seamlessly onboard and thrive on our platform. šŸ“Shape the Roadmap: Collaborate directly with the founding team to define technical strategy, prioritize features, and navigate the path from testnet to mainnet and beyond.

Who We're Looking For: The Ideal Candidate

šŸ“We are looking for a product-minded protocol engineer who thrives on autonomy and wants to ship groundbreaking work. šŸ“Must-Haves: šŸ“Deep Solidity & EVM Expertise: You have demonstrable experience designing, building, and deploying complex, secure, and gas-efficient smart contracts. You are fluent in frameworks like Foundry or Hardhat. šŸ“Full-Stack Web3 Fluency: You are an expert in TypeScript/Node.js and have deep experience with libraries like Ethers.js/Viem, building SDKs, and interacting with L2s. Experience with backend services (e.g., Fastify, Postgres/Supabase) is crucial. šŸ“Protocol-Level Thinker: You understand concepts like cross-chain communication, transaction lifecycle, and the challenges of building on-chain + off-chain hybrid systems. šŸ“A Builder's Mindset: You have a portfolio (GitHub, side projects) that shows you love to build. You can take a high-level idea and ship a robust MVP in weeks, not months.

The crypto industry is evolving rapidly, offering new opportunities in blockchain, web3, and remote crypto roles — don’t miss your chance to be part of it.
