Requirements

As our inaugural Protocol Engineer, you will lead the research and development efforts of our Network. Your role will be pivotal in shaping our protocol strategy, designing secure and efficient mechanisms, and guiding their evolution.

About You

  • Proficient in researching and designing complex on-chain mechanisms and protocols.
  • Possess a foundational understanding of mathematics to support parameter simulation and definition.
  • Experience with protocol engineering and development tools.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and analytical thinking.
  • Deep involvement in the cryptocurrency space.

Nice To Have

  • Previous experience in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Proficiency in implementing intricate smart contracts with high Total Value Locked (TVL).
  • Experience leading protocol security, including audit management and other operational security activities.

Responsibilities

  • Refine, simulate, and define parameters for the Network mechanism to prevent hacks on integrated L2 networks.
  • Lead decision-making regarding the technology stack for implementing the mechanism (e.g., app-rollup vs. app-chain, Cairo vs. Solidity, etc.).
  • Select appropriate off-the-shelf technologies required for the mechanism.
  • Oversee the implementation, maintenance, and security (including audit coordination) of the protocol.
  • Collaborate with team members to integrate our Network with existing infrastructure.
  • Stay updated on the latest developments in security and blockchain development (e.g., Foundry, etc.).
  • Create and maintain technical documentation for internal and external use.
