Freelance DeFi Simulations Engineer

We are building a decentralized credit economy with transferable, blockchain-native credit scores designed to facilitate zero and under-collateralized lending. At its core, the protocol leverages on-chain data, Machine Learning, and loan risk-management to effectively and profitably facilitate under-collateralized loans via blockchain.

We are looking for a Freelance Engineer/Economist to run simulations of various scenarios to stress-test protocol’s smart contracts and economy.

Tasks:

• Develop “Digital Twin” - a set of agent-based simulations on the testnet copy of Ethereum blockchain in order to stress-test contracts and network interactions at scale as well as find constraints for the optimal setup of the protocol’s economics data over a wide range of various market conditions
• Help design and optimize various incentives to attract liquidity in various market conditions
• Help design and optimize incentive models to discover potential attack vectors
• Simulate sandwich attacks and flash-loan attacks
• Simulate Black Swan events like Black Thursday
• Stress test lending contracts architecture flows for the gas costs to find possible inefficiencies and * bottlenecks in the design

You are an ideal candidate if you are:

• Fluent with Python
• Well familiar with cadCAD/radCAD engines
• Have proven experience in data science and BI
• Have proven experience in financial modelling
• Have developed simulations for other DeFi projects
• Phd in math or economics is a plus
