Software Engineer (Cairo Lang)

A bit about us:

We are a team of world-class builders and researchers with expertise across several domains: Ethereum Protocol Engineering, Layer 2 Scaling, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Miner Extractable Value (MEV), Smart Contract Development, and Security Auditing.

Working to solve some of the most challenging problems in the blockchain space, we frequently collaborate with renowned companies, such as StarkWare, Flashbots, xDai, Energy Web, POA Network, and many more.

We actively contribute to Ethereum core development, EIP’s and network upgrades together with the Ethereum Foundation and other client teams.

Today, there are 60+ of us distributed across the world.

The role:

Everyone knows that solving scaling is one of the most critical topics in Ethereum today. To that end, the Nubia team at Nethermind has been working with StarkWare on Warp, a Solidity/Vyper -> Cairo transpiler. StarkNet is StarkWare’s decentralized, permissionless STARK-powered L2 ZK-Rollup that supports general computation over Ethereum, and Cairo is its native language. Cairo is a great language, but many existing protocols cannot switch to a new language due to time/money/talent constraints. To help solve the lack of talent, we are hiring for software engineers interested in Cairo.

At the Nubia team, you’ll get to work with some of the most talented people in the Ethereum ecosystem (StarkWare), work at the bleeding edge of L2 technology, help solve one of Ethereum’s most significant problems (scaling). All while learning things you probably wouldn’t discover anywhere else.

What skills do you bring?

Essential:

• Experience writing production in any low-level programming language
• Interest in Ethereum or blockchain in general, either on a commercial or personal basis is a must
• Experience deploying and interacting with smart contacts on Ethereum, either on a commercial or personal basis is a must

Nice to have:

• Knowledge of the EVM
• Understanding of how the Ethereum protocol works
• Knowledge of Solidity/Vyper and their related tools
• High-level understanding of ZK-SNARKS & STARKS

Perks and benefits:**

• Fully remote
• Flexible working hours
• Equity
