- Experience working with L2s, rollups, or app-chains
- Familiarity with consumer-facing systems and real-time platforms
- Comfortable operating in early-stage, resource-constrained environments
- Able to balance protocol purity with product and user experience needs
- Strong communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Technical environment
- Smart contracts: Solidity (advanced), Foundry / Hardhat, formal verification fundamentals
- Languages: TypeScript/JavaScript, Rust or Go, Python
