Responsibilities
- Design and ship on-chain systems
- Design, implement, and ship smart contracts and on-chain programs across EVM and Solana for tokenized funds, staking systems, and capital markets primitives.

- Build for regulation institutions
- Build the compliance and control surfaces that let regulated institutions actually use these systems - KYC/AML enforcement at the protocol layer, role-based access, investor-class restrictions, and auditable mint/burn/transfer flows.
- Translate ambiguous product or regulatory requirements into concrete contract designs without heavy process.
- Own security and rigor
- Drive the security posture of what you ship - threat modelling, invariant and fuzz testing, internal review, and working with external auditors.
- Build Dream Teams.
Requirements

Nice to have
