As an ideal candidate, you should have deep experience with Ethereum (or any other EVM-based) smart contracts development, ideally having participated on a production-grade DeFi application on the Solidity side. You should be able to implement high-quality Solidity code, always from a critical point of view; take key architectural decisions with solid rationale; design and implement good security procedures (tests, formal verification, fuzzing); and discuss with the rest of the team about all the previous in a constructive way.

Responsibilities and Duties: • Design/implement secure and reliable apps in Solidity. • Writing good documentation. • Internal quality control and audit of smart contracts: code reviews, feedback on designs of other team members. • Collaborate with frontend, backend, and other smart contract engineers. • Help identify friction points and implement solutions to improve potential bottlenecks in the development process. • High and low level thinking, always keeping in mind the goals of each project. Requirements: • 2+ years of relevant experience as a Smart - Contract Developer (Solidity and optionally Vyper). • Passion for the DeFi and Web3 fields. • Knowledge and experience of test-driven development. • Deep familiarity with the common Smart Contract vulnerabilities. • Exceptional strategic thinking and creative problem-solving skills with a strong analytical mindset. • A deep understanding of the architecture of modern Web3 applications and backends. • English language fluency. • Able to make informed decisions that require a quick turnaround. • Hand-on production experience with the Foundry framework. • Understanding of formal verification tools and fuzzing, with hands-on experience as a plus. Benefits: • Salary range: 80-200k, with potential bonus. • Remote work and flexible working hours, but with at least partial overlap with European time zones. • 20 days paid holiday • Front seat into position on working with decentralized financial technologies • Guaranteed innovation-driven work environment If you are interested in this offer, please send us your CV and a cover letter (only Google Drive files) to join@bgdlabs.com
