Senior Solidity/Smart Contract Engineer – Sample Job Description
Our client is seeking an experienced Senior Solidity/Smart Contract Engineer to contribute to the development of cutting-edge smart contracts that enhance the security and functionality of their Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This role is integral in driving on-chain projects from conception to deployment while collaborating with multiple teams, including engineering, operations, finance, and marketing. The engineer will work closely with a dedicated team of smart contract and software engineers and report directly to the engineering lead.
Key Responsibilities:
- The Senior Solidity/Smart Contract Engineer will design and develop core components of the smart contract architecture that secures the CCIP network.
- Lead the end-to-end development of on-chain projects, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and security.
- Collaborate with engineers to deliver seamless, fully functional decentralized applications (dApps).
- Partner with operations teams to streamline the deployment and management of smart contract-driven solutions.
- Work alongside research teams to build practical, user-friendly blockchain products.
- Engage with non-technical stakeholders to ensure smart contract solutions align with business needs and enhance user experience.
- Mentor and support fellow engineers, fostering expertise in Solidity and smart contract development.
Qualifications & Requirements:
- 5-8+ years of professional engineering experience in a collaborative, product-driven environment.
- 3+ years of hands-on smart contract development experience.
- Proven track record of deploying multiple smart contracts to Ethereum mainnet or other EVM-compatible chains, securing substantial user funds.
- In-depth knowledge of Solidity and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
- Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals and system design.
- Experience managing multi-month development projects, including stakeholder communication, risk mitigation, and milestone tracking.
- Active participant in the blockchain ecosystem with a deep understanding of decentralized applications (dApps).
Preferred Experience:
- Previous work developing and securing large-scale decentralized applications (end-to-end).
- Familiarity with best practices for secure smart contract design.
- Experience optimizing gas efficiency and ensuring contract security.
This is a remote-first position, and candidates should have some overlap with Eastern Standard Time (EST) working hours.
