About

We’re building Omni: a platform allowing developers to deploy applications across all rollups without fragmenting liquidity. We’re looking for early team members to help us bring this ambitious vision to life.

We’re a team who already built a platform that processed over $70M leading to our $18M fundraise from top investors including Pantera, Two Sigma Ventures, Coinbase Ventures alongside angel investors including Stani Kulechov (founder of Aave), Sandeep Nailwal (cofounder of Polygon) and more. In addition to this we have over $4B deposited to secure Omni on mainnet.

We are growing rapidly and we need ambitious and experienced team members to join us to help scale Ethereum’s future.

About the role

Build core smart contract development software for integrating and interacting with the Omni Network including our rollup smart contracts, restaking module, and solidity library.

Responsibilities

• Write smart contracts for rollup EVMs to be the interface for external developers using the Omni system
• Design and build the L1 component of our Eigenlayer restaking integration, so that validators can stake $ETH from L1 to secure the Omni chain
• Design solidity contracts and token standards for developers to utilize in building cross-rollup smart contracts. Work with the Ethereum EIP process to establish open standards for the community
• Build a Solidity library for interacting with and building smart contracts with Omni
• Primarily Solidity, some Typescript and Golang

Requirements

• 3-5 years of production experience building smart contracts in Solidity
• 3-5 years of production experience with Typescript
• Has designed, built, and launched a smart contract protocol in Solidity
• Fluent with token standards and the Ethereum Improvement Proposal process, and up to date on the latest innovations
• Location: Must be in the New York (EST) or Europe (CET) time zones.
• Overlap hours: Available daily from 9 AM to 12 PM EST for team collaboration.

Competencies

• Customer centric orientation — actively thinks about how to improve the developer experience of building on Omni
• Autonomous — specifically seeks to take greater ownership and responsibility and thrives in their personal growth by doing so
• Action oriented — we are looking for people who take action by default, consistently driving forward progress without asking for permission
• Adaptable — thrives in ambiguity, able to quickly iterate and push forward as the business dynamically expands
• Highly intelligent — learns quickly and can participate in abstract intellectually engaging conversations
• Effective communicator — clearly articulates ideas and engages in debates in a productive manner that leads us to making better decisions

Nice to Haves

• Has built a smart contract system in production that worked with a bridging or messaging protocol

Benefits

Our benefits include competitive compensation, token packages for all employees, regular team off-sites around the world and unlimited PTO. In addition, you’ll join a team of high-caliber people innovating at the frontier of crypto that work collaboratively to help one another accelerate their personal growth.
