Position Overview

  • Location Type:
  • Job Type: Full-Time
  • Salary:

We’re hiring smart contract engineers for a stealth project backed by Paradigm.

The Role: You’ll lead the design and implementation of the project’s core smart contracts. This is an opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology at the frontier of crypto.

Responsibilities

  • Build and manage the project’s smart contracts with a focus on security, simplicity and performance.
  • Own development throughout the entire lifecycle, with a focus on quick iteration cycles and incorporating stakeholder feedback.

Requirements

  • Deep understanding of Account Abstraction Solidity codebases, ERC standards, the EVM and EOF.
  • Significant experience working with Foundry for testing, particularly fuzz testing.
  • Experience writing highly-optimized smart contracts (you know what the Spurious Dragon Limit is).
  • Security-minded, with a penchant for developing safe and scalable code.
  • Ability to write inline assembly instructions that improve on the compiler’s output using Zero Cost Abstractions.
  • Knack for visualizing the Solidity compilation lifecycle and rewriting inline assembly contracts into plain Solidity.
  • Passionate about shipping performant code - you labor over bytecode compactness and optimizing runtime performance.
  • Self-motivated and independent, and excited by ambiguity and opportunities to develop concrete solutions to nebulous problems.
