Across is hiring a
Remote Smart Contract Engineer
\nRisk Labs is the foundation and core team behind UMA, and some top tier products built with it such as oSnap, Oval, and the Across protocol . The Risk Labs team, operates as one cohesive (amazing!) culture, but focuses on two core protocols, UMA and Across. UMA and Across are decentralized protocols governed by community members across the globe in DAOs, and are supported by Risk Labs Foundation. UMA's optimistic oracle (OO) can record any verifiable truth or data onto a blockchain. Across is leading the future of interoperability with its frontier intents based architecture. \n\n\nWe’re looking for a Jr. Smart Contract Engineer to join the UMA protocol team. You, alongside top tier talent, would be working on the core Optimistic Oracle (OO) as well as industry leaders such as oSnap and Oval. As a team, we’re excited to expand UMA’s protocol beyond the truth machine that it is today, and push the boundaries of DeFi in a meaningful way. Oracles, MEV, OEV, governance, optimistic solutions are all heavily baked into your day to day work.\n\n\n \n\n\nResponsibilities\n\n\n\n * \nProtocol architecture: Design and build protocol upgrades from idea to deployment.\n\n * \nSmart contracts: Implement designs with a focus on security, simplicity, ease of use, and gas-efficiency.\n\n * \nCode review and mentorship: Write code in a highly collaborative open source ecosystem.

Bots should have a high degree of correctness, efficiency, and anti-fragility\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nThese responsibilities are going to be similar to the Sr. Smart Contract role posted; however, as a junior engineer, we have lower expectations about your previous experience. That doesn’t mean our expectations are low, instead we have higher expectations for the demonstrable and uncanny ability to learn and apply new concepts quickly. Someone who is exceptionally keen to learn and invest their time with us, in exchange for us investing in their growth. Someone who we hire for this role will become proficient in the above categories.\n\n\n \n\n\nRequirements\n\n\n\n * 2+ years of experience in engineering at a software organization. This can include multiple internships, what we want to see is your familiarity with engineering best practices (sprints, code review, etc.) and a level of professionalism.\n\n * 1+ years of working with blockchain-based projects (think hackathons or personal projects as well), and a deep passion for blockchain technology, crypto economic protocol design, game theory, or decentralized finance\n\n * Outstanding critical thinking skills; low ego, high curiosity and comfort in being wrong\n\n * A love for great software; desire to understand the why and the how of everything you work on\n\n * Demonstrated ability to apply existing skills to new technologies\n\n * Growth mindset; a desire to learn from and mentor those around you\n\n * Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially written\n\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.
