Staff Protocol Engineer

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Extend the Avalanche Primary Network to make deploying and interacting with Subnets simpler and more accessible
• Design powerful abstractions over the EVM such that its core components can be independently deployed, optimized, and better adapted to Avalanche
• Write and maintain low-level libraries that Custom Virtual Machines can use to communicate with AvalancheGo

Here are some specific examples of projects you could contribute to:

• Make P-Chain uptime voting more scalable using BLS Multi-Signatures
• Transition Subnets to use dynamic fees to price Subnet registration
• Augment the security of Permissionless Subnets with Avalanche
• Enable Cross-Subnet Communication across the Avalanche Network using Avalanche Warp Messaging

WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT

• You believe in a future where blockchain technologies make the world a more fair and free place for everyone.
• You have the desire to work on open-source code and engage with the community. You wish to work together with other talented contributors instead of working alone.
• You are a coder. You prefer implementing a proof-of-concept before writing a multi-page technical document.
• You create and find projects that provide value. You don’t need to wait for someone to tell you what to research or work on.
• You have an obsession with code quality and performance. You ship code when it is ready, not as soon as it passes unit tests.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• Demonstrated capability in subject area (open source code or published work is a bonus)
• Golang or Rust programming experience

Salary Range: $190,400 to $238,000
