🏔️ About Affine
Affine is a crypto robo-advisor that makes picking and managing complex portfolios and DeFi strategies accessible to everyone with near zero transaction costs and easy fiat onramps. Think Wealthfront meets Coinbase (and a lot more).
Mainstream investors have treated Bitcoin and the rest of crypto as one investment. However, the last year has seen a Cambrian explosion ($1B - $200B) in DeFi as well as the maturation of various protocols which has led to a real need for thoughtful and diversified portfolio construction.
Affine will do all the things that a traditional robo-advisor does (portfolio construction, rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting) and add crypto native optimizations like staking, yield farming, and lending. This is only possible because Layer 2 scaling technology is making fees go to near-zero. Crypto is about to have its Robinhood moment.
🚀Why join Affine?
1) You want to give more people the ability to invest in diversified DeFi and Crypto portfolios.
2) You're excited to lead an exceptional engineering team.
3) Desire the impact of being a leader coming in on the ground floor.
4) You want to move quickly to capture and large and growing market.
👋 The team
The team is comprised of Harvard and MIT alums with extensive blockchain, finance and tech experience at companies including Facebook, Google, Salesforce, Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw, and more. We've raised $1.7m from industry leaders including the founders of Polygon, Dragonfly Capital, Audious and Tagomi.
About the Role
- You will collaborate cross-functionally with other teams to build performant and robust blockchain-based solutions
- Support front-end developers to build and maintain web apps that call smart contracts
- Design and build a smart contracts architecture, incentives structure, yield pools, and strategies
- Deploy and maintain existing smart contracts
- Work with Project Management and other developers to understand design requirements and provide estimates for development
- Identify, propose, and implement process improvements to increase the team's productivity and efficiency continuously
- Stay current with the latest development best practices and share your findings with the team
About You
- BS degree in Computer Science or relevant field of study
- 2+ year of experience developing blockchain applications (Solidity and Smart Contracts preferred)
- 3+ years of product development experience
- Familiarity with JavaScript, NodeJS, Python, etc.
- Hands-on, professional experience with consuming and building RESTful web-services

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
- 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.
