About the Opportunity
Trust Machines is building a DeFi Lending app, and we’re looking for a Smart Contract Engineer to join our remote-first team as one of the first dedicated smart contract engineers. The Lending app is building the bleeding edge of Bitcoin DeFi, using novel smart contracting functionality on Bitcoin to deliver a 10x improvement on existing DeFi lending. This role will be critical in building the protocol from the ground up, designing and developing the MVP, and working with the team to develop a robust and long-term product. The ideal candidate has start-up experience, is passionate about building amazing consumer apps, and is hungry to build the next big Web3 app.
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Design, develop, and deploy smart contracts and decentralized applications on various blockchain platforms, writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code
- Propose, execute, and iterate on research sprints to develop novel capabilities and technologies using Discreet Log Contracts on Bitcoin (no prior experience with Bitcoin script or DLCs required)
- Collaborate with our Lending and core engineering teams to architect a secure, decentralized, and highly-functional web3 lending app
- Collaborate cross-functionally with various TM teams including core engineering, product design, UX, and business development
What we're looking for:
- A passion for Bitcoin, DeFi, and crypto
- Hands-on experience with smart contract blockchains platforms like Ethereum (EVM), Cosmos, Solana, Stacks, or WebAssembly virtual machines
- Fluency in Solidity or another smart contract language and a Github profile that demonstrates proficiency
- Proven experience as a smart contract engineer or similar, with a strong understanding of blockchain concepts, consensus algorithms, and cryptographic principles
- Familiarity with smart contract development tools and frameworks (e.g. Foundry, Hardhat, Remix, Web3.js)
- 3+ years of work experience in software development, ideally including work in a DeFi protocol
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with a focus on discovering solutions instead of identifying roadblocks
- Self-motivated and driven contributor, who can independently own feature development and collaborate with a team on best practices.
We’d also like to see:
- Experience in the end-to-end full-stack development and/or launch of a Web3 DeFi protocol
- Experience at a startup as an early engineer, even better if you’ve tried to launch your own project.
- Strong communication skills
- Fluency in Rust
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
What we’ll offer:
- Remote-first work environment (with home office subsidy)
- Competitive NYC-based Salary (regardless of location, benchmarked annually)
- Equity in Trust Machines
- Participation in future protocol incentives
- Open Vacation Policy, take the days you need
- Health Benefits
- Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave
- Your choice of technical setup and equipment
- Awesome coworkers and a fun, collaborative environment
How do I get a job at DeFi?
Getting a job in the DeFi (decentralized finance) industry can be a competitive process, but there are a few steps you can take to increase your chances of finding a job in this field:
- Build up your skills and knowledge: To work in DeFi, you'll likely need to have a strong understanding of blockchain technology, as well as other related technologies such as smart contracts and cryptocurrency. Consider taking online courses or earning a degree in a relevant field to build up your skills and knowledge.
- Network with industry professionals: Attend meetups and conferences related to DeFi and make connections with professionals in the industry. Networking can be a valuable way to learn about job openings and get your foot in the door at a DeFi company.
- Create a strong online presence: Many DeFi companies will look at your online presence (such as your LinkedIn profile and personal website) when considering you for a job. Make sure to showcase your skills and accomplishments online and keep your profile up to date.
- Apply for relevant job openings: Keep an eye out for job openings at DeFi companies and apply for positions that align with your skills and experience. Apply for DeFi Jobs without Experience. Tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific job you're applying for and highlight any relevant experience or skills you have.
- Consider internships or volunteer work: DeFi Internships or volunteer work can be a great way to get your foot in the door and gain valuable experience in the DeFi industry. Many companies also offer internships to students, so consider applying for an internship if you're still in school.
- Be persistent: keep trying if you don't get a job right away. It can take time to find the right opportunity, but with the right skills and determination, you can land a job in the DeFi industry.
