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
