- Understanding of blockchain technology
- Worked as a software engineer writing Java or Typescript (preferably with NodeJS)
- Knowledge of DeFi ecosystem and ability to talk about specific area of interest
- Thoughtful research and contribution to refining product roadmap and writing TDDs/PRDs
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, Docker and CI/CD
Requirements:
- 2+ years of professional experience as a software developer
- Exposure to taking a set of requirements and implementing them fully with minimal guidance
- Experience with RESTful programming conventions
- Experience with ORMs
Nice to have:
- Cryptocurrency experience (any of the following):
- BTC - Operational knowledge of Bitcoin sending and receiving
- ETH - Solidity experience and understanding of theDeFi ecosystem
- SOL - Have written one or more Solana programs in Rust
- Others - Any API interaction or node-level interaction
- Experience having written one or more smart contracts (particularly Solidity, Rust or Clarity)
- Experience in finance and financial products
- OpenAPI specification a plus

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.
