About the Job
As our Founding Smart Contract Engineer / Blockchain Lead, you will be the principal architect of our on-chain infrastructure. You will have direct ownership of the design, development, and deployment of the smart contracts that power our entire ecosystem. This is a role for a builder who thrives on technical challenges and wants to make a lasting impact.
Responsibilities
Architect & Develop: Lead the end-to-end design, development, and deployment of secure, gas-efficient, and upgradeable smart contracts on multiple EVM-compatible chains (e.g., COTI, Polygon, OP, BNB, Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum).
Multi-Chain Strategy: Implement and manage our multi-chain smart contract architecture, ensuring seamless interoperability and leveraging the unique strengths of different Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions.
Privacy-Centric Implementation: Collaborate closely with our team to integrate our EVM contracts with COTI v2's privacy-preserving layer, particularly for confidential rewards, payments, and data handling.
Security First: Establish and enforce best-in-class security practices. Conduct rigorous testing, lead internal code reviews, and manage external audits to ensure the integrity and safety of our on-chain assets and user data.
Technical Leadership & Vision: As a founding member, you will be a key voice in our technical strategy, roadmap, and architecture decisions. You will help define the engineering culture and mentor future team members.
Build the Core Product: Your initial focus will be on developing the smart contracts for our on-chain referral system and freelancer marketplace, which are central to our platform's success.
Minimum Qualifications
Expertise in Smart Contract Development: 3-5+ years of hands-on experience writing, testing, and deploying production-grade smart contracts using Solidity and Hardhat/Foundry, Thirdweb
Deep EVM Knowledge: A comprehensive understanding of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), gas optimization techniques, and common security vulnerabilities (e.g., reentrancy, front-running).
Multi-Chain Experience: Proven experience deploying and managing smart contracts on multiple EVM chains and an understanding of cross-chain communication principles.
Security Mindset: A deeply ingrained, security-first approach to development, with experience in smart contract auditing and security tools.
Startup Mentality: High ownership, adaptability, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. You are a problem-solver who can wear multiple hats and take a concept to a fully-realized product.
Excellent Communication: Ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred Requirement
Experience with Layer 2 scaling solutions and their specific nuances.
Familiarity with privacy-preserving technologies like Garbic Circuit, ZK-proofs or TEEs.
Previous experience in a lead or founding engineering role at a startup.
Contributions to open-source Web3 projects.
Based in or willing to relocate to Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Be a True Founder: This is more than a job. You will be a cornerstone of our company with a significant stake in our success through a generous equity and token package.
Shape the Future: You will have the autonomy and influence to build our technical foundation and shape the direction of a product set to disrupt a massive global industry.
Proven Vision & Traction: Join a project that has already gained significant recognition and backing from industry leaders and foundations.
Flexible & Modern Work: Start as a remote, part-time contributor and transition to a full-time, hybrid leadership role in Vietnam’s thriving tech hubs (Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City) after our successful seed round.
Incredible Growth: Be at the forefront of the intersection of AI, Blockchain, and the Future of Work, with limitless opportunities for personal and professional growth.
If you are a builder, a leader, and a visionary ready to take on the challenge of a lifetime, we want to hear from you.
