Smart Contracts Engineer

• Remote (European 9-17h time zone overlap, at least partially)


• Full-time


• Mid-Senior level

The role

BGD (Bored Ghosts Developing) is a Web3 and DeFi development initiative, with roots in the Aave protocol ecosystem and currently being one of the main technical contributors there.

By joining us, you will be working with a team doing awesome things like:

• Implementing new features and maintaining Aave, a multi-billion DeFi protocol.


• Development and maintenance of Aave Governance v3, a next-generation on-chain governance system based on storage proofs.


• Development and maintenance of a.DI (Aave Delivery Infrastructure), a cross-chain communication layer introducing a consensus mechanism on top of underlying bridge providers.


• Additional projects by BGD, on the edge of DeFi and blockchain.

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.

Additionally, being a small team we value independence: you should own your projects, and we will empower you to do so.

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
