About the Solidity Engineer (Senior)

Thesis is seeking a Senior Solidity Engineer) to seed one of our upcoming projects’ node/bridge development, focused on writing cross-EVM chain Solidity. Prior work by the Thesis team in this domain with relevant mixes of Go and Solidity can be seen in the Keep random beacon, tBTC v1, and tBTC v2 core work.

All engineers at Thesis focus on complex problem solving, security, supportability, and pragmatic approach to implementation. When applicable, you work towards understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of existing code and work with your team to pragmatically choose what needs changing now and what should be changed over time to hit timelines and successfully deliver secure, stable, working software. We want engineers who are comfortable communicating early and often with their team mates, who can clearly articulate tradeoffs between decisions, and who work well in a culture of continuous feedback aimed at team improvement.

• Work to identify issues before they hit production through testing practice.

• Identify and put users first across the full spectrum of your work—from command-line parameters to APIs.

Requirements
