Requirements

  • 3+ years of professional experience in Solidity compiler development or related compiler projects (e.g., EVM-based languages, smart contract compilers)
  • Strong proficiency in Java with deep understanding of Java based compiler development and optimization
  • Solid foundation in compiler theory, including parsing techniques, type systems, and intermediate representations
  • Experience with formal methods or formal verification tools (e.g., SMT solvers, theorem provers, or verification frameworks)
  • Strong understanding of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and smart contract execution models
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with LLVM or similar compiler infrastructure
  • Knowledge of programming language semantics and type theory
  • Contributions to open-source compiler projects
  • Experience with Solidity or other blockchain programming languages

What We Offer

  • Opportunity to shape the national conversation on blockchain and security.
  • Collaborate with industry-leading security researchers, technologists, and global institutions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
