Lead Solidity Developer

We are seeking an experienced Solidity Developer that has significantly contributed to the launch of a project before. Ideally this developer would be familiar with Defi, DAOs and Liquidity Mining. We love passionate people and hope to call in someone excited about helping nonprofits by helping us Build the Future of Giving.

Further qualifications include understanding how to fork and adapt previously audited contracts from other projects to re-purpose them for our own use and, of course, a willingness to do other backend development work as we are a small collaborative team.

A desire to cooperate with our allies in this effort, like Gitcoin, clr.fund, WeTrust, and others is the only attitude that is required to join this organization. Otherwise we prefer to have a diversity of opinion and temperament styles. :-D
