Protocol Engineer

As a Protocol Engineer, you'll work on the core infrastructure that underpins decentralized interoperability, designing and implementing core protocol components that operate across heterogeneous chains with rigorous security and performance constraints. ☑️ What You'll Do -Design and implement core protocol contracts and logic on both EVM and non-EVM chains (message validators, data availability mechanisms, proof verification) -Collaborate with various teams to develop new system primitives, validate security assumptions, and improve protocol robustness -Own components across their lifecycle: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration -Contribute to high-assurance engineering practices: formal verification, invariant testing, simulation frameworks, fuzzing, and audit readiness ☑️ About You -Strong smart contract development experience in Solidity or equivalent languages, with a focus on correctness, modularity, and gas efficiency -Have built protocol-level infrastructure: bridges, interoperability layers, state sync systems, light clients, or equivalent -Familiar with distributed systems fundamentals and have good intuition around adversarial conditions in blockchain environments
