Your Opportunity:

  • Design and implement our core L1 blockchain protocol.

  • Optimise the core stack, finding and improving our key bottlenecks.

  • Driving the project towards an external devnet and beyond.

  • Supporting and operating the protocol once it is externally launched.

  • Stay abreast of the latest developments in blockchain technology.

Why You're Made For This:

  • Direct experience building and launching an L1 or L2 blockchain.

  • Strong proficiency in C, C++ or Rust, with professional experience.

  • Experience with developing high-performance software and networked systems.

  • Ability to drive an outcome and unblock yourself and those around you with high productivity.

  • Ability to work independently and in a team environment.

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.

About Us:

We are determined to foster an environment where people can do their best work and feel like they belong. We believe a healthy culture, strong values and contribution from a diverse range of individuals will help us to achieve success.
