Mission
Role
To secure the next generation of the web
For web3 to get into the hands of mainstream users, there cannot be exploits that steal millions of dollars in a single atomic transaction. The current exploit detection and response solutions are not sufficient to keep billions of dollars secure. We believe a combination of research-based and data-driven detection solutions and a novel response solution will leapfrog the industry forward in the battle against exploiters.
Role
Responsibilities
- Design and architect the first version of Guardrail’s security protocol
- Build and secure production smart contracts powering customers and user transactions on the Guardrail protocol
- Use industry best practices for smart contract mechanics, testing, and maintenance.
- Collaborate with the founding team to integrate on-chain stack with the rest of our stack
- Help shape the culture of the founding engineering team
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience writing smart contracts for reputable protocols
- Experience in Solidity and deep understanding of modern web3 technologies
- Ability to think through edge cases and identify architectural issues
- Security oriented mindset, thinking both as an attacker and defender
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well in a team.
