Art Blocks is a first of its kind platform focused on genuinely programmable on demand generative content that is stored immutably on the Ethereum Blockchain. Our team is a group of passionate builders focused on creating the best ecosystem for on-chain generative content. We are moving rapidly to create the platform for all kinds of generative design projects. To learn more about what we are building, please visit artblocks.io/learn, follow us on Twitter (twitter.com/artblocks_io), or come hang out in our community Discord (discord.gg/artblocks).

Art Blocks has multiple openings for curious and collaborative engineers who are excited about digital ownership and generative art. We are looking for candidates who are team oriented that treat each other with kindness and respect. We are looking to fill roles for engineers with varying prior experience levels–your exact level of experience is less important to us than your general aptitude to tackle hard problems, your desire to learn, your ability to work within a fast paced environment, and your willingness to collaborate as a team player.

This position is a remote position–we’re looking for the best candidates to join our team regardless of location (though currently we are only able to hire candidates within the United States and Canada).

Potential Projects

    • Working with partners to deploy versions of our smart contract on a EVM side-chains or L2 scaling solution and integrate them with our infrastructure.
    • Adding new minter capabilities for artists to have more granular control over the ways in which Art Blocks projects are released.
    • Building modular component libraries that allow partners to deploy their own custom projects and platforms that are powered by our core Art Blocks infrastructure.

Responsibilities

    • Develop and deliver on new product features and technical infrastructure investments.
    • Document and maintain software and technical infrastructure.
    • Prioritize testability and reliability for both existing and new systems and components.
    • Collaborate with other engineers and stakeholders to deliver on great end user experiences.

Base Requirements

    • 1 year of professional experience as a programmer, software engineer, data scientist, or similar role.
    • Experience with one or more object oriented programming language (e.g. JavaScript, Java, Python, etc.)
    • Solid communication and collaboration skills.
    • Highly adaptable and willing to work on a wide variety of projects and initiatives.
    • Passion for generative art, digital ownership, or the benefits of decentralization–ideally all of the above!

Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with web frontend development, e.g. JavaScript / HTML / CSS.
    • Experience developing web3 applications.
    • Experience working with one or many of the technologies currently used in our tech stack.

Tech Stack

    • Next.js
    • React
    • Node.js
    • Typescript
    • GraphQL
    • Hasura
    • The Graph
    • Vercel
    • Solidity
    • Infura, Alchemy
    • Popular web3 libraries (ethers.js, web3.js)
    • AWS
    • Github
    • Notion

    • Your experience with our specific technical stack (or any specific stack) is of secondary importance to us. We care much more about finding candidates who have solid fundamentals, general aptitude, a desire to learn, and are compassionate and collaborative people to work with. We understand that it will take time to ramp up and are excited to consider non-traditional candidates who are excited about what we are building.

Benefits

    • Remote work environment, flexible hours
    • Competitive salary, bonus, and equity
    • Unlimited PTO: everyone is required to take a minimum of 20 days PTO per year, and you are welcome to take more (with the support and approval of your manager) 
    • 14 company days off in accordance with the holiday closure calendar
    • 12 weeks parental leave
    • In-person employee meet-ups at hosted team events as well as industry conferences
    • Budget for WFH setup (laptop, monitor, headphones, keyboard, etc.) to make sure you have the hardware and tools needed to do great work.
    • Participation in Employee Charitable Giving Program and pride to work at an organization that has given over $20 million to charitable causes in two years
    • Healthcare benefits, including vision, dental, FSA, HSA
    • Life & disability insurance

What is the meaning of Layer 2?

Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)

The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum

Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:

  1. Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
  2. Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
  3. State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
  4. Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
  5. Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
  6. Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
  7. Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
  8. Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
  9. Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
