Protocol Engineer (Aera Protocol) – REMOTE at Auditless #vacancy #remote

We build protocols.

Auditless is a web3-native protocol studio focused on protocol strategy, design & development. We help crypto protocols improve their performance through strategic advisory and protocol development.

Not a dev shop.

Our process combines techniques from strategy consulting, product management, and high-assurance software engineering to ensure that the features we ship deliver bottom-line impact. We are proud to collaborate with some of the most sophisticated and impactful companies in crypto.

Partnering with ambition.

We are not afraid to work on ambitious ideas from the earliest stages. We enjoy building products that aim to radically improve user experience in large markets and we actively seek out problems that are research-heavy in their scope.

We do this for fun.

Auditless is an independently owned studio and is not beholden to any outside interests. We actively choose projects that we think will be impactful and also challenge us in new ways.

TL:DR;

This role is ideal for someone who is looking to “do their best work yet” in the crypto space and challenge themselves to implement a groundbreaking protocol in a nascent category. One day you will be looking at low-level gas optimization, another you’ll think about high-level invariants in Foundry. This will be an opportunity to make a lasting contribution by helping develop a groundbreaking protocol solving a real use case.

The right candidate understands that product success doesn’t just come down to the code and is equally excited to collaborate with other talented individuals and is comfortable taking the product perspective on protocol development from time to time.

What you’ll do

– Write and review high-assurance smart contract code, tests, invariants, and other deliverables for our protocol projects using industry best practices

– Contribute ideas to protocol design & architecture and make refinements during development. Collaborate effectively with client team members.

– Participate in internal security audits with an emphasis on robust process, continuous learning, and ownership

– Embrace and contribute to our internal methodologies, coding standards, review methods, and other standard operating procedures

– Contribute compelling and clear protocol documentation both in-code and in dedicated spaces

– Write blog posts or other forms of content marketing related to your work from time to time

– Help evaluate/research other protocols/infrastructure we could integrate with

– This is a client-facing role. The ideal candidate will be excited to work closely with top-tier crypto institutions and talent on a high-impact project.

Required Qualifications

– 3+ years of experience in a professional engineering role
