Position Overview:

We’re looking for engineers who

want to build & ship , not just fork & integrate. People who get a kick out of solving protocol & blockchain design/implementation problems, hacking on side projects, and building things that

actually ship . If you’re the kind of person who reads EIPs for fun, runs the staking validators at home, or has written your own zk circuits just to see how they work, keep reading.

This role is

onsite 4 days per week

at one of our global offices:

Toronto, Denver, NYC, or the Cayman Islands .

What You’ll Work On:

You’ll be part of a tight team that ships real things in production — not just a fork of existing protocols, but

end-to-end decentralized systems :

Building the future of finance, DeFi, and bringing it to the real world use cases Designing and deploying Solidity smart contracts for staking, vaults, restaking strategies, and DeFi credit card systems. Building backend systems (Golang/Python/Typescript) to automate on-chain operations, secure user flows, and integrate protocol logic. Creating and iterating on real-world crypto utilities like non-custodial credit cards, yield vaults, and validator management tools. Engaging in rigorous testing, code reviews, and documentation to uphold high standards of quality and maintainability.

You Might Be a Fit If You:

Have strong fundamentals in software engineering & enjoys problem solvings and have shipped something real. Care about clean & secure smart contract code, and think deeply about edge cases and failure modes. Thrive in fast-moving environments where specs are open-ended and the best idea wins. Have hacked on Blockchain/Smart Contract stuff for fun — maybe you’ve built your own smart contracts, audited protocols, or played around with multiple DeFi protocols, MEV bots, etc. Want to work closely with a highly collaborative, low-ego team who commits for the mission.

Benefits:

Competitive salary, performance-based incentives, and token allocation grant Opportunity to work with a Top 4 Ethereum protocol, by TVL Opportunities for professional development and growth within the organization Health, dental, and vision insurance plans Collaborative and inclusive work culture Exposure to cutting-edge technologies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space Global team with opportunity for travel and working out of our 3 offices around the world 4 weeks work from anywhere Exciting company events and team-building off-sites
