How to apply

Self-check: For some inexplicable reasons some folks lie about their experience, but is just a waste of our and your time. Be sure you know all main topics of “mastering ethereum”, read and actually understand solidity/opcode/evm specs, and can easily solve any task from https://ethernaut.openzeppelin.com.

If you are a good match:

1. Send us 2 addresses of mainnet smart-contacts you developed that you are most proud of.
2. We would schedule a single 30m tech interview.
3. After interview, we are immediately ready to sign the paid contract for the test period/project.

*How to Know If You’re the Right Fit

If you live for deep, mind-bending problems and take pride in building both slick frontends and rock-solid backends, keep reading. We’re looking for engineers who don’t just code—they innovate. Those who own their projects from end to end and constantly push for better performance, better architectures, better everything.

Why This Role Is Exciting

• Work with A-Players: Our engineering and research teams are some of the best in the space—prepare to level up by collaborating with them daily.
• Big Impact, Big Ownership: You’ll architect, build, and deploy systems that could redefine how people experience blockchain products.
• Cutting-Edge Tech: You won’t be stuck with legacy systems—expect a steady flow of new protocols, frameworks, and (optional) AI integrations to keep things fresh.
• Collaborative Culture: We take our work seriously—but we also believe in having fun, sharing memes, and celebrating each other’s wins.

What You’ll Be Doing

1. Fullstack Wizardry

• Frontend Mastery: Craft high-performance, modern React (or similar) applications that delight users and scale smoothly.
• Backend Engineering: Design APIs (REST or GraphQL), optimize database interactions (SQL/NoSQL) and build robust cloud-native services.

2. Deep System & Algorithmic Design

• Architect for Scale: Sketch out microservices, data pipelines, and other high-availability solutions that can grow with our user base.
• Optimize & Refine: Spot performance bottlenecks and kill them before they kill us.

3. Leadership & Collaboration

• Code Reviews & Mentorship: Uphold high standards by giving and receiving thoughtful, constructive feedback.
• Cross-Functional Input: Work closely with product, design, and DevOps to ensure seamless rollouts and robust production systems.
• Innovation at the Core: Research emerging tech—especially blockchain protocols and AI—and propose how we can wield them.

4. Continuous Improvement

• Experiment & Iterate: Pilot new tools, frameworks, or processes. If it makes us better, let’s do it.
• Own It End-to-End: From the first line of code to the final deploy, you’re responsible for delivering secure, stable, and high-quality solutions.

• Performance Focus: Terms like “high throughput” and “low latency” aren’t just buzzwords to you; they’re part of your daily vocabulary.
• Best Practices: You never skip tests, you don’t do “quick hacks,” and you treat CI/CD pipelines like your best friend.

3. Mindset & Soft Skills

• Ownership & Drive: You see problems and can’t help but fix them.
• Team Player: You communicate clearly, listen actively, and love a good brainstorming session.
• Always Growing: You stay up-to-date with tech trends and are curious about areas like blockchain, AI or Quantum computing.
