Overview
You will be a part of GIANT Protocol’s core development team, building Layer 1 chain using Substrate and defining standards for the same. You will be involved in defining technical specifications, implementing design patterns and hands-on development. You will be writing modules that all the other developers would use, including libraries, APIs, database/ storage connections and third party integrations primarily in Rust. Your diligence and patience to build highly-secured, scalable and high-performance solutions will be most valued.
Responsibilities
- Understanding the implemented Substrate design patterns and writing performant and maintainable code
- Solving development challenges and making architectural decisions by understanding the larger picture of the project’s goals.
- Design and create Substrate Pallets
- Update/Optimize runtime to develop a productionalized L1 Blockchain
- Contribute to creation of a custom wallet for the blockchain
- Build off-chain workers to connect business logic to our blockchain.
- Participate in security audits.
- Writing code that other developers use, including libraries, APIs and configurations.
- Paying close attention to unit-testing and security.
- Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute ideas to improve our product and technology.
- Collaborate with the product and design teams to understand business goals, end-user requirements, formulate use cases, and then translate that into a pragmatic and effective technical solution.
- Document decisions and roadmap for future impact.
- Create and improve technical documentation.
- Participate in sprints and scrum calls with our cross-regional team for successful delivery of product.
- Mentor and provide leadership to junior developers.
Qualifications
Must have:
- Has experience building Layer 1 native blockchain/components of blockchain using Substrate.
- Extensive experience with Rust, cargo, clippy and dependency management.
- 5+ years of programming experience with focus on using strongly typed languages (Rust, Golang, Typescript).
- 3+ years of blockchain development experience.
- Experience with Substrate framework and tools.
- Strong understanding of macros, traits, generics and lifetimes
- Experience with frameworks like HyperWeb, Mio, Tokio, Rocket and Actix (Is a Plus)
- Exposure to performance benchmarking
- Smart Contracts dev using Solidity or Ink.
- Experience with cloud platforms like AWS/ Azure/GCP
- Developed multi-threaded software and understand the asynchronous functionalities.
- Open source contributions to existing Layer 1 blockchain projects.
- Good blockchain troubleshooting skills.
- Good understanding of Layer 2 blockchain solutions.
Nice to have:
- Experience with token distribution and/or crowd loans.
- Experience working on DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) platform.
Persona of the kind of people who would be a culture fit:
- Strong relationship-building skills
- Exceptional analytical reasoning, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills
- Extremely self-driven and able to execute in a diligent manner
- Get a kick out of leading a solution towards its completion
- Fun to hang out with!
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.
