We are seeking a seasoned blockchain engineer to play a pivotal role in developing the inaugural iteration of our bond tokenization technology and advancing our Bond DEX and On-Chain ETF products. The selected candidate will lead the design and implementation of critical smart contracts, integrating them with on-chain oracles and various DeFi protocols to fuel the EVM’s bond market.

Location and Work Arrangement: Located in the SF Bay Area, initially remote with a transition to 3 days in the office within a year.

Education And Experience

Hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a similar technical field.

Accumulate 7+ years of combined experience in smart contract and backend development.

Exhibit a startup ownership mentality.

Technical Expertise

Proficiency in smart contract development using Solidity or Cairo.

Previous involvement in a protocol with users and scaling.

In-depth knowledge of modern programming languages such as Python, Golang, Java, Scala, or C++.

Strong comprehension and interest in financial markets, coupled with experience in trading systems or risk engines.

Expertise in unit, integration, and end-to-end test automation as integral parts of the software development lifecycle.

Advanced to native English competency.

Nice-to-Haves

Desired Skills:

Past experience launching and maintaining web3 projects at scale.

Deep understanding of the cryptocurrency ecosystem (BTC, ETH, etc.) and underlying technologies (blockchain, PoW, PoS, etc.).

Interest and understanding of L1/L2 blockchain technology and ZK-Rollups.

Bonus Skills

Experience with applied mathematics in a financial institution, ideally as a quant for a market maker or hedge fund.

Previous engagement with crypto trading systems.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the architectural design and implementation of the bond tokenization v1 smart contracts.

Contribute to the development of v2+ NFT AMM and On-Chain ETF smart contracts.

Define and integrate custom on-chain oracles for broadcasting event data from Souq’s traditional finance partners onto the blockchain.

Implement custom on-chain DeFi price oracles for consumption by smart contracts.

Take ownership of testing procedures and unit test case creation for the designated areas, ensuring the security of the contracts.

Oversee engineers, collaborate with designers and product managers to transform requirements into products.

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.
