About
We are growing rapidly and we need ambitious and experienced team members to join us to help scale Ethereum's future.
About the role
We are looking for an extremely ambitious and self-motivated engineer that is interested in a steep learning curve of personal growth as an engineer. This person must be highly autonomous and motivated: you will be surrounded by high performing peers, and you’ll be learning from them, but you’ll need to be able to learn things in your free time and independently as well. Reading a book to pick up a new stack should be a standard part of your workflow. As an example, you should have read every line of the solidity documentation within your first month.
We are not requiring prior experience in Solidity and Golang for this role, but we are seeking outlier engineers who can rapidly pick up new languages and frameworks to apply a well honed problem solving mindset developed over their prior years of engineering experience to this new domain. These team members will primarily build protocols across both the smart contract and core node layers of the Omni Network software stack in Solidity and Golang.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with your fellow team members to architect 0 to 1 innovations that solve key engineering problems facing the crypto industry.
- Expand the core network functionality implemented in Golang and subsequently expose interfaces for interacting with these methods in Solidity.
- Write Solidity smart contracts libraries for improving the developer experience of building applications on Omni.
Requirements
- 4-6 years of software engineering experience.
- Experience shipping large scale, data intensive production software across multiple languages with a preference for Golang and Typescript.
- Collaborate with other protocol engineers to improve one another’s architectures and implementations.
- Curious and eager to learn new technologies and design patterns.
- 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
- 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
- An engineer in both thought and implementation — they must be able to design architecture and see it through to implementation
- 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
- Previously worked at a startup of 10-20 people or less.
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.
