• Fluency in Solidity or another smart contract language and a Github profile that demonstrates proficiency
• Proven experience as a smart contract engineer or similar, with a strong understanding of blockchain concepts, consensus algorithms, and cryptographic principles
• Familiarity with smart contract development tools and frameworks (e.g. Foundry, Hardhat, Remix, Web3.js)
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with a focus on discovering solutions instead of identifying roadblocks
• Self-motivated and driven contributor, who can independently own feature development and collaborate with a team on best practices.
  
  

• Experience in the end-to-end full-stack development and/or launch of a Web3 DeFi protocol
• Experience in Clarity and/or end-to-end development of a Stacks-based application
• Experience at a startup as an early engineer, even better if you've tried to launch your own project.
