ParaSwap offers a simple, fast and safe way to exchange Ethereum-native tokens by pooling together the liquidity from many decentralised services in one unique interface. It is a middleware layer connecting wallets and traders to digital assets.

Our ambition is to help the DeFi space reach new heights!


Who are we?

We demonstrate a true passion for building something great and we love it when people go out of their way to make our product better. By working at ParaSwap you will play an integral role and your work will have a direct impact to the success of the company.

We are an international team based around the globe, all working fully remotely and our main langage is English. We also have an office in Paris. Currently we are 10, we want to double our team in the coming months.

We did a recent fundraising of 2,7M$ gathering over 33 investors including some big names in the crypto industry, and we are still at an early stage so it is an extraordinary time to join us!

To sustain our growth we are looking for hands-on and team-oriented Blockchain Engineers.

Engineering

Our stack is based on cutting-edge technologies : Solidity, Vyper, Layer 2 solutions (Starkware, zkSync,..), TypeScript, Node.js, React, Redis, Rust …

We operate in 1 week cycle and use Pull Requests to conduct code reviews. All engineers are empowered to push code to production, which we often do multiple times a day. Part of our code is open source and you can make your own contribution.

At ParaSwap, you have the freedom to explore and iterate to come up with what it is best to do.


What you will like at ParaSwap

- You will join a FinTech world class team that is conquering a market where no startup has yet managed to establish itself.

- As we are still early stage and our environment is fast-paced, your impact will be direct and you will have a great contribution on the company’s success.

- We encourage open communication and have a good working environment for developers to flesh out their creativity. At ParaSwap you can continue to learn and grow in a collaborative and iterative way of working.


As a blockchain engineer you will

- Build and improve ParaSwap's set of smart contracts

- Become an expert in major DeFi protocols as well as Layer 2 solutions

- Help developers and partners like Argent & Metamask build on ParaSwap

- Ensure users have a highly secure and scalable platform


Desired skills

- Strong software development background and experience of implementing Smart Contracts

- Experience deploying complex smart contract systems to the Ethereum mainnet

- Knowledge of important security concerns when developing smart contracts

- Proficiency with Solidity and understanding of EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)

- Approaching all aspects of development with a focus on the customer perspective, security, and reliability

- Passionate and committed to learning new things and developing with the latest technologies and frameworks

- Strong analytical, communication, and organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple tasks

- Work well in both a small agile team and independently

- Competitive compensation package and ESOP

- Fully remote environment

- Flexible working hours

- Quarterly company meeting to gather all the members together

- Helping you to get the best material to work in good conditions from home

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.
