About the Ethereum FoundationThe Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a global non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Ethereum and related technologies. Our mission is to do what is best for Ethereum’s long-term success. Our role is to allocate resources to critical projects, to be a valued voice within the Ethereum ecosystem, and to advocate for Ethereum to the outside world.About SoliditySolidity is a statically-typed curly-braced programming language designed for developing smart contracts that run on Ethereum. In the coming years, we intend to build a new foundation for the language with a small, logically-grounded and verifiable language core on top of which higher-level functionality can be constructed definitionally. For this task, we are seeking both theoretical and practical contributions.Learn more by browsing the Solidity GitHub repository or the Solidity website.Your MissionAs part of the Solidity team, you will be working exclusively on open source software, especially focussing on the Solidity language and compiler.
