📋 Description

• You will work on building out the next generation of Agora's governance smart contracts. • Working alongside our product, engineering and customer facing teams across Agora to support our customers in scaling their protocol. • No tasks too small, and you’re expected to get your hands dirty. • You’ll do everything from working with our CTO to architect a new generation of smart contracts and modules for the Agora Governor to workshopping solutions with our CX and Sales teams for our customers.

🎯 Requirements

• You have a strong work ethic and care about making day by day progress on what you’re building, but can also reserve a part of your brain untethered from the earth – thinking what’s at the boundary of the possible. • You consider how your code will be read, written and indexed by applications as a core part of good protocol engineering. You understand how data gets into the EVM, how it get into applications, and how can you do that efficiently. • You are familiar with the most common crypto protocols and standards and are able to explain how and why they work. You don’t need to have worked on these contracts directly, but you should be comfortable explaining their design patterns and extrapolating into your work at Agora. • You keep up with the latest frontier developments in crypto: zkp, account abstraction, mev, L2s etc. This is not a research engineer role, but working familiarity with what’s at the frontier will help you steer our protocol engineering thinking in the right direction in the long run. • You are proud and passionate about Open Source. Bonus if you’ve made contributions to projects. • You love onchain governance like us :)

🏖️ Benefits

• Ownership – both in responsibility and equity. We’re a small team with high trust and expectations of each other. We want you to own a sizable chunk of the product and company, and structure our compensation accordingly. • Competitive benefits – we offer health, vision and dental benefits. • A strong team – we’re a small team that values experience, character and integrity. You’ll work with peers you respect, and who respect you. • A seat at the table – you will come to all off sites, and be part of all strategic discussions.. • A path to grow – our goal is to retain all early hires as senior leaders as the company scales. We believe folks with the best expertise and deep context should lead organizations, even if they don’t traditionally self-identify as people managers.
