Senior Blockchain Developer (Remote)

=nil; Foundation has been at the forefront of Ethereum scalability solutions since 2018. With a mission to overcome the Ethereum scalability challenge, our team is dedicated to launching our own L2 solution — =nil; zkSharding, a zkRollup that securely scales Ethereum empowering web3 developers to build scalable, secure, and composable applications.

Our architecture supports parallel transaction processing across multiple execution shards, each validated by zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and EVM opcode compatibility. Interoperability among these shards is seamlessly maintained through a native cross-shard communication protocol, enabling efficient and secure interactions within the network.

We are looking for someone to join our Integration Team. The team key responsibilities are:

• Integration: Build and integrate tools like explorers, wallets, plugins, and extensions, ensuring a seamless user experience with =nil;
• Decentralized Application Development: Architect and develop the first dApps on top of =nil;, utilizing sharded architecture and multi-currency features. This involves exploring innovative project ideas or adapting existing dApps like Uniswap V2 to the =nil; ecosystem, pushing the boundaries of decentralized technology

Responsibilities

• Work on internal integrations to support =nil;, such as developing tools like the hardhat-plugin, block explorer, in-browser IDE, Block Indexer, and more. =nil; protocol is written in Go, and most integrations utilize TypeScript. Examples of existing integrations include:
  - CLI: Command-line interface for interacting with =nil; (written in Go)
  - Hardhat-plugin: Adapts requests and responses to match =nil; RPC and unique features (TypeScript)
  - Block Explorer: A tool for viewing block and message data (TypeScript)

• Develop and Design the first cross-shard dApps on top of =nil;, leveraging the sharding and multi-currency features. Examples include:
  - Adapting Uniswap V2 to =nil; by adding multi-currency support and modifying the architecture to distribute load across multiple shards.
  - Designing the architecture for an orderbook DEX to operate efficiently on a sharded blockchain.

Qualifications

• Strong engineering background with the ability to adapt to various programming languages and tech stacks as required by different projects (experience with Go, TypeScript, or Solidity is a plus)
• Willingness to learn and work with Web3 protocols and blockchain technologies, even if prior experience is limited
• Ability to design and implement scalable and secure systems in a decentralized environment
• Independence and productivity, with the ability to take ownership of projects from inception to completion
• Proficiency in English (B2+), both written and spoken, to effectively collaborate with international teams
