About the role
We are looking for passionate smart contract security researchers or developers.
Candidates should have a strong understanding of security primitives and be up-to-date with current exploits. Awareness of the current DeFi landscape is a big plus, and experience with exploitation techniques of financial protocols is a valued skill. You should also be aware of how the EVM works, and the idiosyncrasies which can lead to vulnerabilities when developers don’t properly understand them. You will have the opportunity to work with and learn from some of the brightest minds in the space, to see how we approach hacking, threat modelling, scanning, auditing, designing and enhancing the security of smart contracts across the board.
Alongside client work, we also provide you with plenty of time for research and development efforts where you can push the state of the art and science of blockchain security.
Most of the work can be done remotely from wherever you are; little travel is anticipated (most of the team works remotely around the world). Along with a focus on technical excellence, we also believe firmly that culture and processes play an essential role in security.
We are looking for exceptionally intellectual, bright and technically driven individuals who can communicate their ideas clearly while working with clients to achieve their security objectives.
Qualifications
- Experience developing and building on top of DeFi protocols or other smart contracts
- Experience describing or assessing smart contract specific security risks
- Demonstrated expertise with Solidity, the EVM, and blockchain
- Demonstrated ability to work well with clients, and communicate clearly and concisely in a written format
Nice to haves
- A portfolio of blog posts or presentations on DeFi or security related topics
- Experience working in the Financial sector or as a financial analyst
- Publicly visible audit reports in your portfolio
- BS degree or higher in a relevant field or equivalent practical experience
- Experience building tooling in javascript, typescript or python
ConsenSys is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We are committed to ensuring that our technology is made available and accessible to everyone. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, genetic information, religion, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, marital status, family status, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

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.
