About the Role
We’re looking for a Solidity engineer who can design and implement smart contracts at the core of our system. You will:
Own the development of smart contracts for pod’s core protocol (staking, slashing, committee rotation, etc) and applications built on top.
Work closely with scientists and protocol engineers to design efficient and secure protocols.
Participate in security reviews, simulations, and adversarial thinking exercises.
Write thorough tests and documentation.
Must-haves:
2+ years of experience with Solidity and Ethereum smart contract development.
Deep understanding of EVM, gas model, state management, EIPs, and tooling (Foundry, Hardhat, etc.).
Experience deploying and maintaining production-grade contracts.
Familiarity with DeFi protocols, MEV-aware design, and on-chain incentives.
Good understanding of smart contract security and common pitfalls.
Nice-to-haves:
Background in distributed systems, auctions, or mechanism design.
Prior work on high-performance protocols or real-time systems.
Experience writing Rust and familiarity with Reth.
Competitive salary.
High-impact role in an ambitious, fast-moving startup.
Travel opportunities and thought leadership visibility in the crypto community.
We are an ambitious, early-stage Web3 startup building a revolutionary new layer-1 protocol designed to bring Web2-like experience to Web3 systems. Our team is creating a chainless, blockless, leaderless protocol that challenges the conventional notion of consensus. Read more about pod network here.
We’re backed by a16z crypto, 1kx, and BBF—and we’re looking for exceptional engineers to help us shape the future of decentralized systems.
