About Clearmatics

Clearmatics is a blockchain protocol engineering company that builds decentralized financial market infrastructures that are more open, efficient, and resilient than those serving legacy market structures of today.

Our bold vision for this new market infrastructure aims to enable participants to solve currently unaddressed problems of the real economy, including “missing markets” issues. We are working towards this vision with technologies that facilitate peer-to-peer trading and settlement within new markets, utilizing digital assets that track real-world risk factors previously unexploited in legacy markets.

Our mission, no matter the nature of a risk factor—whether macro-economic or climatic—is to make these important risk factors tradable by anyone, anywhere, without reliance on financial intermediaries. We are building this new infrastructure together with exceptional trading and blockchain communities.

Founded in 2015, Clearmatics has been a devoted advocate for Open Source development and a dynamic participant in both blockchain and cryptography research communities. We are also strong supporters of decentralized infrastructure initiatives.

We are currently seeking a Smart Contract Engineer to join our Layer 1 Engineering team.

• Work with Autonity core developers to enhance L1 protocol contracts and integrate new features into the Autonity Go Client.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional experience in software engineering.
• 2+ years of experience in smart contract programming with Solidity.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
• Strong knowledge of Eth1 protocols and proof of stake consensus.
• Understanding of the DeFi landscape and major DeFi primitives.
• Proficiency in Python and web3.py Ethereum development.
• Experience interfacing with data oracles and P2P data stores (e.g. IPFS).

• Contribution to open-source projects in the Web3 space.

Bonus Points
