Protocol Engineer / Researcher
Responsibilities:
- Analyze performance and scalability bottlenecks of the Cronos chain protocol and research protocol enhancements aimed at addressing these bottlenecks such as: layer 2 rollups (zero knowledge or optimistic), parallelization of EVM execution, modularization of data availability layer.
- Take responsibility for proof of concept projects, in coordination with the Cronos open-source community.
- Deliver protocol enhancements to development environment, test network, staging environment (migration dry-runs) and production.
- Monitor and maintain protocol in production.
- Remain up to date on key developments of blockchain technology in the Etherum (EVM) and Cosmos SDK / Tendermint ecosystems.
- Communicate, escalate and follow up as appropriate to ensure that problems are solved.
Job Requirement:
- Advanced academic background in distributed computing.
- Work experience in blockchain protocol development.
- Robust understanding of the EVM/Ethereum blockchain technology and, ideally, of Cosmos SDK as well.
- Track record of contributions to open-source projects.
- Ability to code. You are expected to write high quality maintainable code.
- Strong interest and alignment with the mission of Cronos, to bring the next billion users to Web3.
- Practical mindset - passion for developing not just the best technology, but the technology that is most likely to be adopted by dApp developers.
- A strong interest in working in technology and/or financial environments.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What is EVM?
EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it is the runtime environment for smart contracts in the Ethereum network
It is a virtual machine that executes code written in the Solidity programming language, which is the language used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform
The EVM is a sandboxed environment, which means that code executed within the EVM is isolated from the rest of the network and cannot interact with it directly
This is important for security reasons, as it prevents malicious code from affecting the rest of the network
When a smart contract is deployed to the Ethereum network, it is compiled into bytecode that can be executed by the EVM
Each node on the network maintains a copy of the EVM, which allows them to execute smart contract code and validate transactions
When a transaction is submitted to the network, the EVM processes it by executing the corresponding smart contract code
The EVM processes the transaction by reading the bytecode, interpreting it, and executing it step by step
The EVM then returns the result of the transaction to the sender, which can include changes to the state of the contract or the network as a whole
The EVM is designed to be Turing-complete, which means that it is capable of performing any computation that can be performed by a computer
This allows for complex smart contracts to be executed on the Ethereum network, including those with conditional logic, loops, and other advanced programming constructs
The EVM is a key component of the Ethereum network, as it allows for the execution of smart contracts in a secure and isolated environment
It is a crucial part of the blockchain infrastructure that enables decentralized applications to be built and run on the Ethereum platform.
