Job Summary
WHAT YOU WILL DO
šMaintain and advance Avalancheās EVM-compatible chains. šDesign and implement paradigm-shifting extensions on top of vanilla EVMs, without breaking ecosystem compatibility. šHere are some specific examples of projects you will contribute to: libevm (repo): the EVM as a library; a backwards-compatible fork of geth with injectable configuration directives to minimise merge conflicts. šStreaming Asynchronous Execution (spec / talk / repo): decoupled consensus and execution, allowing for always-on, concurrent execution without forced dormancy.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT
šA self-starter with insatiable curiosity, combined with being comfortable diving into someone elseās code to understand how it works. You treat the code as the source of truth and are able to discern nuances from there. šMeticulous attention to detail and an appreciation for clean, maintainable code. You create software as much for the end user as for the love of the craft. šYou feel at home in a hacker culture. You believe that creativity is not just limited to the arts. You understand the rules of the system primarily so you can bend them.
The future of finance is here ā whether youāre interested in blockchain, cryptocurrency, or remote web3 jobs, thereās a perfect role waiting for you.
