About the role
- Our protocol interacts with energy hardware in the real world and tokenizes the value of flexible energy capacity into crypto-native incentives-bridging digital and physical infrastructure through verifiable smart contracts, oracles, and data integrations.
- You should bring deep experience in Solidity and DeFi architectures (especially stablecoins, lending, or reward mechanisms), and be comfortable deploying cross-chain smart contracts using modern interoperability protocols like LayerZero or Wormhole.
- You should also be confident designing systems that ingest and act on offchain data in a trust-minimized way-whether through Chainlink, Chronicle, or custom oracle networks.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement Solidity smart contracts that underpin Daylight's decentralized energy markets
- Lead architecture decisions for our EVM-based systems across mainnet and L2s
- Manage crosschain deployments and integrations using LayerZero, Wormhole, or similar technologies
- Develop core logic for staking, token issuance, energy capacity verification, and rewards
- Design and maintain trust assumptions, verification mechanisms, and upgrade paths
- Support Daylight's core backend team as needed with Python/Django development
- Help design and maintain APIs that interact with contracts and power our frontend applications
- Lead internal security reviews and coordinate third-party audits of smart contracts
- Contribute to protocol incentive design, economic modeling, and simulations
- We're building technology that serves everyone, and we believe diverse perspectives make our team and our product stronger.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience developing and deploying Solidity smart contracts in production
- Experience with crosschain development (e.g., LayerZero, Wormhole, Axelar)
- Proven experience integrating offchain data via oracles (Chainlink, Chronicle, custom feeds)
- Familiarity with protocol simulations (e.g., Python-based Monte Carlo models or token economic tools)
- Experience working in early-stage startups or founding teams
