ip.world is a platform for launching memecoins remixed from popular IPs. We’re reimagining how communities can speculate on the virality of their favorite creative works in a way that allows IP owners and their remixers to collaborate and earn rewards. Our goal is to bridge crypto and mainstream consumer culture by building the ultimate memecoin playground for tokenized IP remixing.

Role

We are looking for a founding smart contract engineer to build out the blockchain infrastructure for our IP remixing memecoin platform. You will lead efforts in designing the core token creation and incentives mechanics, as well as designing liquidity migration strategies and trading integrations with various DeFi protocols. The ideal candidate has a strong background in smart contract programming and EVM (particularly within DeFi), is obsessive over web3 security best practices, and is deeply interested in the memecoin ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Design an EVM-based token launchpad system using bonding curves for fair-launch distribution and voting-escrow inspired token locking for rewards incentives
• Work with our backend engineer to build an event sourcing pipeline using on-chain indexing solutions such as Subgraph or Goldsky
• Work with our infra engineer to build out on-chain testing environments
• Perform various contract optimizations using Huff or Yul if needed
• Ensure contract security by establishing a comprehensive set of unit / fuzz / integration tests using Foundry along with audits using tools like Slither or Echidna
• Work with external auditors to ensure production readiness prior to launch, designing strategies around module upgrades where appropriate
• Assist with miscellaneous data tasks such as curating Dune Analytics visualizations

Requirements

• 3+ years of industry experience working as a smart contract engineer, esp. in DeFi
• Highly skilled in foundry (preferred) or Hardhat
• Comprehensive understanding of the EVM and MEV
• Deep proficiency in Solidity and basic familiarity with Yul or Huff
• Strong understanding of the mechanics behind the top DeFi and SocialFi projects, including Uniswap v2 / v3, Balancer, Seaport, FriendTech, and Lens
• Strong familiarity of the following types of EIPs: 1167 (minimal proxies), 1014 (create2), 172 (typed hashes), 4337 (AA), 4626 (tokenized vaults), etc.
• Knowledge of DeFi contract auditing and testing best practices
• Experience working with building event-indexing pipelines using on-chain indexing tools like Goldsky or Subgraph, along with familiarity working with tools like Dune or Alchemy
• Past experience in running a self or cloud-hosted blockchain node

What are we all about?

We are a team of builders and researchers on a mission to empower enterprises and developers worldwide to access and build on decentralized systems.

Our expertise covers several domains: Ethereum and Starknet protocol engineering, layer-2, AI, cryptography research, protocol research, decentralized finance (DeFi), security auditing, formal verification, real-time monitoring, smart contract development, and dapps and enterprise engineering.

Working to solve some of the most challenging problems in the blockchain space, we frequently collaborate with renowned companies, such as Ethereum Foundation, Starknet Foundation, Gnosis Chain, Flashbots, Forta Protocol, Lido, EigenLayer, Open Zeppelin, RISCZero, Aleph Zero, and many more.

Today, we are a 350+ strong team working remotely across 66+ countries.

The role

We’re seeking an experienced Smart Contract Security Auditor to join our team in safeguarding Web3 protocols and applications. As a key member of our security team, you’ll conduct comprehensive audits of smart contracts while contributing to our blockchain infrastructure development.

Responsibilities:

• Work directly with protocols in the Solana, Ethereum, StarkNet, and Polkadot ecosystems to review their code and help secure their protocols.
• Perform thorough security audits of smart contracts written in Solidity
• Develop and maintain security tooling using Golang to enhance our audit capabilities
• Collaborate with teammates to maintain and continually improve our existing blockchain security tools using modern software engineering practices.
• Develop new blockchain security tools.
• Engage in meetings with clients to discuss security and best practice improvements.

Skills:

• Understanding of blockchain technology and the Ethereum network.
• Solid understanding of the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
• Fluency in Solidity smart contract security and Golang audit.
• Detailed understanding of common smart contract vulnerabilities.
• Fluency with common tools and frameworks used for the development and security analysis of smart contracts.
• Strong debugging skills and/or experience in reverse engineering.
• Portfolio of audit report.

Nice to Haves:

• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Understanding of most common DeFi applications.
• Publicly visible audit reports in your portfolio.

What We Need

• An engineering manager who is hyper-focused on delivering concrete results while staying excited by the big picture.
• Experienced in leading software teams that ship fast, experiment often, and hand off to product at the right time.
• Hands-on coder but knows when to pull back.
• Views programming languages as easily learnable tools, not identities.
• Driven to optimize everything with AI, leveraging both traditional software and cutting-edge techniques.
• Understanding blockchain or decentralized systems and LLMs is a plus. Personal projects in these areas are required.
• Fully open attitude: embrace the public domain. Production must be robust, but everything else (ideas, prototypes, experiments) should be publicly accessible.

Role & Responsibilities

• Hire and guide leads for multiple AI x Crypto x Blockchain projects.
• Oversee rapid PoC delivery, ensuring minimal friction and maximum velocity.
• Collaborate closely with product managers for timely, high-quality releases.
• Contribute code where it counts.
• Align with an open ethos—innovate in public, build out loud, and keep the end-user ecosystem thriving.
• Comfortably terminate and iterate on projects.
• Liaise with the group manager to set up new AI x Crypto and Robotics projects.

Requirements

• Evidence of having led multiple small to large teams
• Experience shipping open-source code with considerable adoption
• You must be replacing all your interfaces with LLMs

Nice to have

• Experience shipping projects from genesis
• Robotics is not required (we have a hardware team), but some understanding of this space is good
• If these projects are for you, you will feel it. It will be fun, but it will be hard when the air bubble explodes. We will keep building.
