Job Description

The role

BGD (Bored Ghosts Developing) is a Web3 and DeFi development initiative, with roots in the Aave protocol ecosystem and currently being one of the main technical contributors there.

​

By joining us, you will be working with a team doing awesome things like:

  • Implementing new features and maintaining Aave, a multi-billion DeFi protocol.
  • Development and maintenance of Aave Governance v3, a next-generation on-chain governance system based on storage proofs.
  • Development and maintenance of a.DI (Aave Delivery Infrastructure), a cross-chain communication layer introducing a consensus mechanism on top of underlying bridge providers.
  • Additional projects by BGD, on the edge of DeFi and blockchain.

​

As an ideal candidate, you should have deep experience with Ethereum (or any other EVM-based) smart contracts development, ideally having participated on a production-grade DeFi application on the Solidity side.

​

You should be able to implement high-quality Solidity code, always from a critical point of view; take key architectural decisions with solid rationale; design and implement good security procedures (tests, formal verification, fuzzing); and discuss with the rest of the team about all the previous in a constructive way.

Additionally, being a small team we value independence: you should own your projects, and we will empower you to do so.

Responsibilities and Duties:

  • Design/implement secure and reliable apps in Solidity.
  • Writing good documentation.
  • Internal quality control and audit of smart contracts: code reviews, feedback on designs of other team members.
  • Collaborate with frontend, backend, and other smart contract engineers.
  • Help identify friction points and implement solutions to improve potential bottlenecks in the development process.
  • High and low level thinking, always keeping in mind the goals of each project.

Requirements:

  • 2+ years of relevant experience as a Smart Contract Developer (Solidity and optionally Vyper).
  • Passion for the DeFi and Web3 fields.
  • Knowledge and experience of test-driven development.
  • Deep familiarity with the common Smart Contract vulnerabilities.
  • Exceptional strategic thinking and creative problem-solving skills with a strong analytical mindset.
  • A deep understanding of the architecture of modern Web3 applications and backends.
  • English language fluency.
  • Able to make informed decisions that require a quick turnaround.
  • Hand-on production experience with the Foundry framework.
  • Understanding of formal verification tools and fuzzing, with hands-on experience as a plus.

Benefits:

  • Salary range: 80-200k, with potential bonus.
  • Remote work and flexible working hours, but with at least partial overlap with European time zones. 20 days paid holiday
  • Front seat into position on working with decentralized financial technologies
  • Guaranteed innovation-driven work environment
