You'll learn cutting-edge research in distributed systems, cryptography, blockchains, game theory, and consensus algorithms, with high autonomy over your projects.

What you'll do

• Design and implement new features within the Data Product space, such as trust-minimized off-chain computation and aggregation of external data across various blockchain environments
• Design and own end-to-end delivery of new and existing data products that power the largest market share of DeFi by total value secured
• Build core products with Smart Contracts using Solidity, Move, and Rust
• Partner with the research team to build cutting-edge products
• Think creatively about attack vectors, possible failures, and disaster scenarios, model them in reproducible test environments, and develop fixes
• Manage the architectural vision for new subsystems in the core Chainlink node
• Implement resilient distributed systems to achieve extremely high reliability across a variety of blockchain environments
• Learn about the underlying technology in the blockchain ecosystem, including Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, and Ethereum

What you bring

• At least 4-6+ years of professional software engineering experience in a collaborative, product-driven environment
• Experience in blockchain and Web 3.0 technologies
• Experience developing smart contracts that secured meaningful value on-chain
• Knowledge of computer science fundamentals and systems design concepts
• Experience owning multi-month projects, including communication of progress, dependencies, and risk mitigation with stakeholders and partners
• Experience building distributed systems and low-latency systems
• B.S. or higher in computer science, software engineering, mathematics, or a related technical field

Nice to have

• Experience in Golang or other strongly-typed programming languages
• Experience working with a globally distributed team
• Experience working in or with market data

What we offer

• Global, remote-based role with the request to overlap some working hours with Eastern Standard Time (EST)
