ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an accomplished DeFi Protocol Engineer with a strong background in financial systems who can fit into an existing highly skilled global dev team. Your role is to work closely with the protocol team to brainstorm, write specs, implement, and test chain features for our Injective DeFi modules, bringing real-world trading and exchange expertise to how they are designed. You also have the freedom to detect and take ownership to improve chain performance and scalability via kvstore optimization, processing logic, and the order matching engine.

- Develop and optimize core components of the Injective blockchain (consensus, state management, financial infrastructure and applications)

- Take end-to-end ownership of features, from requirement gathering and specs through architecture, implementation, testing and deployment

- 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

- Strong prior experience in finance, ideally building trading systems, exchanges, or algo trading/derivatives platforms at a bank, trading firm, or exchange

- Track record of building large, complex, and performant distributed systems in production

- 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 & DEX concepts, consensus mechanisms, CosmWasm contract platform

- Strong knowledge of CS fundamentals such as data structures and API design

- Self-driven and comfortable owning problems end-to-end with minimal oversight

- Ability to communicate technical concepts with other technical and non-technical team members

NICE TO HAVES:

- Experience with Cosmos-SDK/Tendermint

- Deep knowledge of financial instruments and markets (derivatives, credit, perpetuals, options)

- Experience with low-latency or high-throughput trading infrastructure

- Experience with cryptography libraries, including digital signatures and hash algorithms used by Ethereum and Cosmos

- Experience with key-value databases, especially ones used by cosmos-sdk

- Experience with Ethereum/Solidity

WHY WORK WITH US?

- Competitive salary and INJ token award

- Remote-friendly work environment with flexible hours

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.
