Job Description


We are building the infrastructure powering the next generation of global crypto and stablecoin payments โ€” connecting hundreds of millions of users across thousands of wallets and blockchain networks. Our on-chain layer is foundational to everything we do, and we take its security and correctness seriously.

About The Role

As a Senior Smart Contract Engineer, you will design, write, and audit the on-chain contracts that sit at the heart of our payments network. You will work across multiple EVM-compatible chains and beyond, ensuring our protocol logic is secure, gas-efficient, and upgradeable where appropriate. This is a high-stakes, high-ownership role for engineers who hold security as a first principle and have the rigour to match.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement smart contracts for payment routing, settlement, and escrow across multiple chains
  • Own the full contract lifecycle โ€” from specification and development through testing, deployment, and post-launch monitoring
  • Write comprehensive test suites using frameworks such as Foundry or Hardhat, including fuzz and invariant testing
  • Conduct internal security reviews and work closely with external auditors ahead of deployments
  • Develop and maintain upgrade and governance mechanisms that balance flexibility with on-chain security
  • Stay current with EVM developments, new opcodes, Layer 2 environments, and emerging cross-chain standards
  • Collaborate with backend and protocol engineers to ensure seamless integration between on-chain and off-chain systems


What we're looking for

  • 4+ years of professional smart contract development experience, with production deployments on mainnet
  • Deep expertise in Solidity; familiarity with Vyper or Rust (for Solana/CosmWasm) is a bonus
  • Fluency with Foundry and/or Hardhat, including advanced testing patterns (fuzzing, invariant, formal verification)
  • Strong understanding of EVM internals โ€” storage layout, gas optimisation, call patterns, and common attack vectors
  • Experience with proxy patterns, upgradeability, and multi-sig governance frameworks
  • Familiarity with cross-chain messaging protocols (e.g. CCIP, LayerZero, Wormhole) and Layer 2 environments
  • Security-first mindset with practical experience identifying and mitigating common vulnerabilities (reentrancy, front-running, oracle manipulation, etc.)
  • Strong written communication โ€” able to produce clear specifications, post-mortems, and audit-ready documentation


Nice to have

  • Experience with formal verification tools (e.g. Certora, Halmos, or Echidna)
  • Background in payments, DeFi protocols, or stablecoin infrastructure
  • Prior work with external audit firms or a track record of responsible disclosure
  • Contributions to open-source smart contract libraries or EIPs


What we offer

  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Fully remote and async-friendly working culture
  • Flexible working hours and generous time off
  • Home office stipend and equipment budget
  • Token allocations and exposure to the cutting edge of Web3
  • High-ownership role with real impact at global scale
