Member of Technical Staff - Smart Contract

We are a diverse team of free thinkers, and fast movers united to help investors and creators energize the global economy. We are looking for individuals who thrive in a culture of builders and overachievers and embrace high performance, transparent feedback, and a mission-first approach. Our culture shapes our way of working and gets us where we want to be.

• Seek Excellence.
• Be Selective To Be Effective.
• Be Highly Aligned, Loosely Coupled.
• Disagree Transparently.
• Encourage Independent Decision-Making.
• Build Dream Teams.

You'll own the contract and program layer of systems that real institutions depend on — tokenized funds, staking and validator infrastructure, collateral and liquidity products, and the compliance primitives that make them usable inside regulated workflows.

This is a builder role with a research dimension. You'll move between protocol-level design work and shipping production contracts that clear institutional audit, security, and operational bars. You own your work end-to-end: spec, contracts, tests, deployment tooling, monitoring, runbooks, and the off-chain integrations that make contracts operable in production.

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.
• →Own contract-level architecture decisions: upgrade paths, access control, transfer restrictions, oracle integration, fee and accounting logic, and failure modes.
• →Work end-to-end on each system — from spec through to deployment tooling, monitoring, runbooks, and the off-chain integrations that make contracts operable in production.

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.
• →Contribute to technical research that shapes the next generation of Edge's on-chain products

• 4+ years of production engineering experience, with substantial time spent shipping smart contracts or on-chain programs that handle real value.
• Deep fluency in at least one of Solidity (Foundry/Hardhat, EVM internals, upgrade patterns) or Solana programs (Rust, Anchor, Token-2022, SPL); credible working knowledge of the other, or a clear track record of picking up new chain ecosystems quickly.
• Strong instincts for smart contract security — you've thought hard about reentrancy, oracle manipulation, access control, and the failure modes specific to your stack, and you write code that reflects it.
• Comfort owning systems end-to-end, including the off-chain pieces that production contracts depend on.
• Ability to operate in a high-autonomy environment.
• High agency, low ego. You own your work end-to-end and hold yourself accountable for quality.

• Experience with tokenized assets, regulated financial products, or institutional DeFi.
• Familiarity with tokenized vault standards (ERC-4626, ERC-7540 for asynchronous deposit/redemption flows) and Token-2022 extensions such as transfer hooks.
• Background in capital markets, custody, or staking infrastructure.
• Prior work that has been through formal audit.
