Founding Senior Rust Engineer - REMOTE at Smart Transactions #vacancy #remote

About Smart Transactions

Smart Transactions ( stxn.io ) was founded by Vlad Zamfir, Ethereum foundation researcher and Ethereum founding architect who engineered the proof of stake transition, with the mission to unlock programmability for transactions on Ethereum. We are the first to enable transaction automation on solidity which will unlock never before possible transaction capabilities across defi, protocols, wallets and smart contracts.

We raised our pre-seed round in the summer of 2023 and are launching our MVP in Q2 2024.

We are a small team of elite and hungry minds of all genders, ethnicities and backgrounds spanning blockchain, finance, tradfi and defi as well as AI, and social sciences. As we grow and expand our team, we measure our growth not by the number of total employees but unique value and quality of only a few, hand-selected individuals. With an MVP launch on the horizon and a lot of exciting exposure heading our way in 2024, our senior leadership team is looking to hire a Senior Rust Engineer to manage our in-house solver strategy and capacities.

This role requires confidence in self-management and intentional communication skills to make sure our remote team is at all times connected and aligned. Prior knowledge, curiosity and a strong interest in blockchain, Ethereum and particularly MEV are desired.
