We are looking for a talented Smart Contract Protocol Engineer to join our team and help us scale Catalyst to even more chains. Catalyst is currently written in 2 languages: Solidity and Rust. However, to scale to even more chains we also need a Go implementation compatible with the Cosmos SDK and other modular blockchain SDKs. The ideal candidate should have experience with the Cosmos SDK or other modular chain SDKs, Solidity, and Go. Additionally, a mathematical background is helpful since the protocol is very mathematical, and knowing how it works down to the equations is essential.

Responsibilities

• Rewrite the existing implementation in Solidity to Go and develop a Cosmos SDK module that connects the implementation with the existing EVM and CosmWasm implementation.
• Write smart contract and test smart contracts in various smart contract frameworks.
• Be part of an internal review team.
• Collaborate with the team to develop new features and solve problems.
• Write clean, efficient and well-documented code.
• Join us in our off-sites when we get together and build!

Requirements

• Strong general programming skills
• Strong mathematical skills
• Proficiency in Go
• Understands Solidity or proficiency in Javascript.

And preferably:

• Experience with the Cosmos SDK or other modular chain SDKs
• Experience with smart contract development or the DeFi ecosystem.
• Located in Europe or America

It is helpful if you include why you fulfill the requirements in your application.
