About The Company

We are building the standard for how regulated blockchain applications enforce transaction rules at the smart contract layer. We empower teams to create modular, programmable policies such as AML/CFT checks or offchain collateral requirements that are verified before a transaction executes onchain. Our system enforces these policies with cryptographic guarantees, providing robust, scalable risk management tailored to real-world use cases.

As Protocol Lead, you will own the design, development, and maintenance of our onchain suite. You will build tooling to support integrations, contribute to core infrastructure, and research emerging technologies to keep us at the forefront of the industry. You will also serve as the team's blockchain subject matter expert, supporting teammates across the stack on all things related to blockchain interactions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture, development, and maintenance of our core smart contracts
  • Support customers integrating at the smart contract level
  • Deeply understand and add support for non-EVM chains
  • Iterate on the SDK and relevant documentation to supply a strong integration experience
  • Collaborate with the rest of the engineering team in Go and TypeScript on blockchain-facing technology


Requirements

  • 5 years of experience in software engineering
  • 2 years of experience in Solidity development
  • Deep familiarity with Solidity, Rust, and other relevant emerging tools
  • Strong familiarity with Golang and/or TypeScript
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working with external partners and customers
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a drive to ship high-quality systems


Benefits

  • Unlimited PTO with a high level of autonomy
  • Best-in-class health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Bi-annual worldwide team offsites
