About the role

  • Design core DeFi mechanisms using Solidity, Rust, and Polkadot JAM.
  • Architect AMMs, perpetuals, options, and synthetics for sub-microsecond execution.
  • Implement tokenomics with dynamic governance, staking, and inflation/deflation models.
  • Build zk-SNARK lending systems resistant to oracle attacks and front-running.
  • Optimize contracts for gas efficiency and parallel execution in sharded environments.
  • Integrate RWA tokenization with yield farming and cross-chain bridges.
  • Conduct formal verification using TLA+ for economic incentive alignment.
  • Mitigate risks with smart contract audits and MEV-resistant designs.
  • Design primitives compatible with Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and Cosmos.
  • Deliver SDKs (Solidity/Rust) for rapid primitive deployment.
  • Build testing sandboxes for DeFi simulation in <5 minutes.
  • Mentor engineers and pioneer novel mechanisms like AI-driven risk engines.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.
  • 7+ years in DeFi primitive engineering with launches of AMMs or lending protocols.
  • Expertise in Solidity, Rust, zk-SNARKs, and Polkadot JAM/Hyperledger.
  • Proficiency in tokenomics, cross-chain protocols, and cryptographic proofs.
  • Background in Polkadot JAM contributions or RWA tokenization preferred.
  • Experience with open-source DeFi tooling or multi-chain bridges preferred.
  • Contributions to Uniswap/Aave standards or patents preferred.
Benefits
