About CoW DAO

CoW DAO is on a mission to protect Ethereum users from the dangers of DeFi. It does this by supporting the development of CoW Protocol, CoW Swap, MEV Blocker, and CoW AMM, and by funding values-aligned projects through the CoW Grants Program.

CoW Protocol is the second-largest DEX aggregator by monthly volume and the first-largest intents-based exchange. MEV Blocker is currently involved in ~4% of all Ethereum transactions, making it the category leader. CoW AMM is the only live AMM that protects LPs from LVR (loss-versus rebalancing).

As a member of CoW DAO’s core team, you will have the opportunity to shape these essential products, and contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem more broadly.

About the role

Location: We are a fully remote team, and although we hire almost globally, there is a preference for this role to be based in Europe or remote +/- 4 hours CEST time

Please note we’re not hiring from the US, Australia, or New Zealand

Position: Full-time contractor

You’ll be joining the team overseeing the design, monitoring, and enhancement of the CoW Protocol’s solver competition. As the pioneer in intent-based trading, this competition has attracted top players in the field. Building strong relationships between solver teams (those responsible for executing trades onchain) and our core team is vital for the protocol’s growth.

Your role involves providing technical support to solver teams, identifying challenges they face, and collaborating with our core team to enhance the competition. You’ll also develop essential components for monitoring the competition, ensuring compliance and user protection. This journey will deepen your understanding of blockchain intents and our batch-auctions-based approach, exposing you to valuable data for insightful analysis. Ultimately, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring the CoW Protocol’s solver competition operates effectively, in line with the CoW DAO’s principles of fairness, safety, and decentralization.

What you’ll do

• Provide technical support to solver teams; keeping them updated, gathering their input, and troubleshooting any issues that arise
• Dive deep into the competition dynamics, understanding the needs of solvers, and crafting tools to enhance competition monitoring
• Engage in various implementation tasks for the solver competition, like setting up rewards systems, managing token balances, and refining price data feeds
• Apply data analysis techniques to gain insights on the behavior of both our users and solvers, and design metrics to evaluate how strong our trading mechanism is
• Explore the fundamental Game Theory principles guiding the competition’s mechanics and rules
• Help towards the further decentralization of the solver competition

Who you are

• You’re skilled in coding, especially in Python, and familiarity with Rust is a bonus
• You’re proficient in SQL and comfortable navigating databases
• You’re intrigued by the Game Theory principles driving the mechanics of the solver competition
• You’re passionate about blockchain technology and advocate for a decentralized future in digital currencies
• You thrive on tackling complex problems, utilizing a range of tools, from algorithms to data analysis, to find effective solutions
• You enjoy collaborating with multiple teams, communicating openly to grasp their challenges and work together towards solutions
