Blockchain Engineer Solidity

Golden is looking for talented Blockchain Engineers to help us build a new decentralized protocol for canonical knowledge.

Our vision is to create a decentralized knowledge graph protocol that maps 10 billion entities and the public knowledge surrounding them. The world is lacking a decentralized graph of canonical knowledge that is open, free, permissionless and incentivizes contributions to the graph.

As an early team member, you will be working in a startup environment with high autonomy and a rapid development pace. This is a great chance to work on a fundamental token and new Web3 protocol. Your work will result in a new way data is valued, handled, and exchanged across the globe.

We are a globally distributed remote team working in time zones between San Francisco and Prague. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an early stage startup and build a world changing product.

What You Will Be Doing

• Develop a core Web3 protocol for a knowledge graph.
• Enable community of crypto-enthusiasts to contribute to the universal graph of knowledge.
• Connect crypto-incentivized AI to a novel knowledge graph API.
• Retrofit Web3 UX into Golden.com.
• Build dApp versions of Golden data entry tools and work on the front lines of a new decentralized knowledge graph.
• Create greenfield dApps connected to multiple blockchains.

Skills We Need

• Ability to handle UX experiences that accommodate the unique concerns of blockchain.
• Experience building full stack applications and blockchain based products. You are comfortable designing, developing and deploying features from beginning to end.
• Experience with code interacting with blockchains.
• Experience with blockchain based Dapps.
• Experience building on blockchains such as Ethereum, Polkadot, Near, Dfinity, or Solana.
• Strong understanding of smart contracts with a passion for producing secure, economically efficient, auditable, and readable code.
• Experience working with Solidity (or otherwise) and libraries e.g. web3.js or ethers.js.
• An awareness of contract security best practices.
• Concern over the financial implications of your code.
• Experience with smart contract tooling e.g. Truffle, Hardhat, or OpenZeppelin.

Bonus Points

• You desire to work closely with various Web3 layers and have experience with IPFS and Arweave.
• Scaling dApp transactions using side-chains, bridges, and ZK-rollups.
• You enjoy reading white-papers and have a broad knowledge of mechanisms across white-papers.
• You voted in a DAO or are participating in one.
• Experience with distributed file storage systems.
• Experience with EVM side-chains (Polygon, Celo, etc.) and cross-chain bridges.
• You relish the opportunity to take ownership and build something great.
