Job Description

Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer, Runtime role at The Raw Denim Bar Limited

Who we are

The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a tangible impact.

About the Team

The EDR team builds an Ethereum runtime designed for developer tooling. Our users are initially the Hardhat users and, later on, third-party tooling developers integrating our runtime APIs to analyze Solidity code execution for their own users. In its first iteration, EDR is a complete Rust rewrite of Hardhats Ethereum network simulation used for Solidity development and testing before production deployment. We aim to build a reusable runtime library to empower the Ethereum ecosystem to build better code execution analysis tools.

Location & Remote

Fully-remote role; open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-5 timezones.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and implement low-level functionality at the EVM bytecode level in Rust
• Work on an open-source project while helping triage GitHub issues and supporting users
• Tackle large, complex, and ambiguous projects, starting from a set of high-level product requirements
• Identify and/or clarify requirements and analyze tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, user value, and non-functional requirements
• Deep dive into user pain points, concerns, and requests
• Independently solve tasks that range from complex design/architecture issues and complex previously unknown blockers to churning through coding tasks and bugs at a high pace
• Uncover unknowns or gaps and prototype solutions for major risks
• Act as a force multiplier for the team
• Contribute to project management and roadmap planning: outline risks and dependencies, break down scopes and roadmap items into tangible milestones while optimizing for fast delivery
• Keep timely communication with management stakeholders, other engineering teams, and other functions
• Coach other engineers on technical topics

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of experience working on systems software
• 5+ years of experience with C++ or 2+ years of working with Rust
