Why work with us

Boson Protocol is advancing the world of commerce by enabling enterprises, organisations, and customers to bridge the divide between digital decentralized technologies and the transfer and trade of physical goods.

Our vision is for Boson to become the basic plumbing for dCommerce and its data on the emerging decentralized web, where the value captured is distributed equitably between token holders and protected from capture by a single centralized entity. Read more about us here:https://bosonprotocol.io/

If you are passionate about revolutionizing โ€‹the way commerce works by bridging the gap between blockchain technology and real world asset transfers, we hope you apply to join us!

What you will do:

  • Work on a specialized team responsible for designing and building protocol components that integrate across many blockchain & web 3 systems
  • Take ownership over core parts of the protocol, from specification to implementation & maintenance
  • Coordinate large scale upgrades and releases with other team members
  • Perform internal code reviews as well as rigorous testing & verification practices
  • Assist the rest of the protocol team with writing and maintaining up to date documentation
  • Stay up to date with relevant updates in the industry and foster a growing internal knowledge base

Minimum Requirements:

  • Prior experience working on a production blockchain system
  • Understanding of smart contract security and experience with advanced testing practices in blockchain
  • Openness to learn and evaluate the tradeoffs of different tool stacks as well as various layer 1 and layer 2 networks
  • Experience writing code specifications
  • Strong technical communication skills
  • Ability to provide and receive actionable feedback

Bonus experience:

  • Practical experience with scaling strategies and layer 2 systems
  • Have knowledge of another layer 1 besides Ethereum
  • Adept with applied cryptographic concepts & tools including zero knowledge systems
  • Prior experience in a full time remote setting across time zone

What we offer you:

  • Flexible, remote work with a high degree of autonomy in a dynamic, fast growth startup
  • An opportunity to leverage bleeding edge technology and industry-leading development practices
  • Close collaboration with leading projects in the space
  • A highly competitive salary and other potential arrangements. Details depend on ability and experience. Come and talk to us.

Some of our guiding principles

  • Dream Big:We want to build technology that can outlast the founders and reshape commerce and society at large
  • Self-Mastery:Mindful conduct and always on learning are critical components of personal and collective growth
  • Collaboration:Expertise is key, but sharing knowledge and building together with joy is the foundation of truly remarkable work
  • Stay lean:Our ethos is to create and share value equitably, with minimal value extraction.

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.
