Job description

role tldr

This role focuses on smart contract development with some backend work. Proceed if you’re a hacker at heart, you can work from earliest R&D to final implementation, and these things are of interest to you : intents, rollups, precompiles, predeploys, proof systems, EVM, real people using what you’ve built.

more about Eco

Eco exists to maximize money’s value — to reclaim value lost to the current financial system and make sure the onchain economy actually bring us money without borders. We expect better from our money, and we want you to as well. That’s what drives us every day.

We focus our work on contributing to the Eco Protocol and building Bend. The Eco Protocol is for stablecoins and the apps that use them — designed from the ground up for the most capital efficient stablecoin transaction execution across Ethereum, with the simplest possible user experience. Bend is the product we build to demonstrate what the protocol makes possible — to show that we can build a seamless payment experience that anyone can use, with crypto today.

With both the Eco Protocol and Bend, we continue to push the boundary of what crypto enables and just how powerful the user experience can be: a simple send, whether you’re paying someone, providing liquidity, trying to new app, or inviting a friend onchain for the first time. We’re a team hell-bent on doing our very best work (individually and together), solving hard problems, staying optimistic, and believing money should be better.

If these things excite you, now would be the time to join. Eco is coming.

Knows they’re effing good, without being an asshole
Debatable opinions on the rollup ecosystem and current developments in the Ethereum technical roadmap
Apparent interest and passion for contributing to the crypto ecosystem

Qualifications:

6+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years building and maintaining high-availability systems in TypeScript, ideally with experience or interest in Go / Rust.
3+ years of experience developing high-availability backend services that interact with real-time cryptocurrency platforms (solvers, relayers, multichain infra, etc.)
Strong coding skills with a deep understanding of cloud architectures, algorithms, and debugging complex distributed systems.
Deep understanding of Solidity, the EVM, smart contract best practices and current industry patterns especially with applied experience in chain abstraction, bridging technologies, intent/relay networks
Experience designing, building, and maintaining large-scale production systems on the cloud, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability.
Ability to build from 0→1, designing systems from scratch and making critical early technical decisions.
Passion for modern best practices in backend engineering and Web3, with a desire to actively shape the tech stack as new systems and services are built.
Strong initiative and ownership, with the ability to drive projects forward autonomously in a fast-moving crypto environment.
