Technical Project Manager - Ethereum Protocol Engineering & StarkNet

What are we all about?

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

Working to solve some of the most challenging problems in the blockchain space, we frequently collaborate with renowned companies, such as Ethereum Foundation, StarkWare, Flashbots, xDai, Open Zeppelin, Forta Protocol, 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 100+ of us distributed across the world.

Are you the one?

We are looking for a servant leader who will help the team of core Ethereum developers who are contributing to the ETH 2.0 solutions. Work with the great minds in the blockchain ecosystem and build the future of Ethereum and Web3 together with Nethermind.

Another area for contribution will be managing teams that build products for the Starkware ecosystem, where StarkNet is a permissionless decentralized ZK-Rollup. It operates as an L2 network over Ethereum, enabling any dApp to achieve unlimited scale for its computation, without compromising Ethereum’s composability and security.

If you never stop thinking about how to optimize, align, structure, adjust and improve ways of working then we are onto something.

If you have a passion for building the future of Ethereum and understand the secrets that glue the best blockchain teams and instill a high-performing team culture then we are getting closer.
