About the role

Overview

We are seeking a Smart Contract Engineer to design and implement next-generation protocol primitives that enable machine-verifiable commitments, state attestations, and autonomous coordination across decentralized environments.

This role sits at the intersection of protocol research and systems engineering, contributing to the foundations of next-generation physical intelligence systems - where digital protocols coordinate and verify actions across real-world environments

Responsibilities

Design cryptoeconomic systems enabling verifiable commitments and programmable state transitions
Research identity, attestation, and reputation primitives within decentralized environments
Develop mechanisms for secure cross-network coordination and trust minimization
Formalize security assumptions and adversarial models for protocol components
Prototype and benchmark new consensus or validation schemes
Collaborate with engineering teams to productionize research outputs
Author technical specifications and research documentation
Contribute to audits and formal security reviews
Engage with the broader research community where appropriate
Engage with the broader research community, including opportunities to contribute to publications, open-source research, and intellectual property

Qualifications

Strong foundation in distributed systems, cryptography, or applied mathematics
Experience designing blockchain or decentralized protocol mechanisms
Deep understanding of consensus systems and cryptoeconomic incentives
Familiarity with digital identity, attestation systems, or verifiable data models
Proficiency in Rust, Go, or similar systems-level languages
Ability to move from theoretical design to implementation

Nice to have
