Sr. Blockchain Engineer / Tech Lead

About Fluent

Fluent’s mission is to make programming for Ethereum as seamless as programming for the web.

To that end, we are building a permissionless, credibly neutral L2 blockchain on Ethereum that supports general-purpose smart contract execution with apps written in Solidity and traditional programming languages. It will also provide settlement, proof aggregation and messaging between custom state machines. Fluent will be powered by the zkWasm VM (Fluent VM) and framework (Fluentbase), and will enable the creation of novel apps previously impractical using blockchain-based infrastructure.

On a personal level, we believe in authenticity, empathy, transparency, clear communication, healthy skepticism and kindness. We’re ambitious, want to make an impact on the world, but we don’t take ourselves TOO seriously 🙃.

Responsibilities

• Majority of time working closely with Fluent CTO to lead a team of engineers and researchers.
• Minority of time writing code for Fluent’s L2 blockchain and rollup framework.
• Contribute to the development of the Fluentbase SDK using different languages.
• Design and integration of different runtimes and interfaces to connect them with ZK circuits.
• Develop the Fluent L2 and corresponding infrastructure including Solidity/Rust for interoperability.

Requirements

• Advanced proficiency in Go, Rust and Solidity.
• Experience building blockchains, especially using RETH or GETH
• Understanding of different virtual machines (especially the EVM and Wasm)

Our benefits include competitive compensation, early stage equity allocations, team outings, wellness stipends, 401k with employer matching (for US employees), and unlimited PTO.
