  • Build, maintain, and test core components on our Cosmos-SDK protocol, including our decentralized orderbook, trade execution coordinator, order matcher, and Layer-2 execution environment.
  • Develop and optimize core components of the Injective blockchain, including consensus, state management, financial infrastructure, and applications.
  • Write open-source Golang clients that allow users to interact directly with our protocol and smart contracts.
  • Contribute to the research and development of new blockchain features and technologies.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including front-end developers, back-end developers, and quality assurance engineers, to deliver comprehensive blockchain solutions.
  • Collaborate with external partners and open-source communities to enhance our blockchain ecosystem.

Who You Are:

  • Minimum of 3 years’ experience as a Blockchain Engineer.
  • Prior experience working in trading or in an exchange.
  • Worked on at least two production Golang codebases that are reasonably large and performant.
  • Strong knowledge of Go idioms, libraries, and parallel processing.
  • Strong knowledge of blockchain, DeFi, and DEX concepts, consensus mechanisms, and CosmWasm contract platform.
  • Strong knowledge of CS fundamentals such as data structures and API design.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts with both technical and non-technical team members.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience with Cosmos-SDK/Tendermint.
  • Experience with cryptography libraries, including digital signature and hash algorithms used by Ethereum and Cosmos.
  • Experience with key-value databases, especially those used by cosmos-sdk.
  • Experience with Ethereum/Solidity (bonus points if you've worked with Layer-2 before!).
  • Knowledge of financial instruments and markets.

Why Work With Us?

  • Competitive salary and INJ token award.
  • Remote-friendly work environment with flexible hours.
  • Unlimited PTO.
  • Equipment and home office stipend.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge blockchain technology in the finance industry.
