Senior Smart Contract Engineer

About Us

We’re a mission-driven Web3 organization building at the forefront of decentralized innovation. Our work spans smart contracts, decentralized protocols, node networks, and blockchain tooling that helps real communities build and exchange value.

We’re fully remote, async-first, and made up of high-performing contractors around the world. We move fast, communicate clearly, and expect senior-level ownership.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Smart Contract Engineer to lead the design, development, and scaling of production-grade NFT systems.

This is a true senior role — we’re looking for someone who has shipped multiple NFT projects to mainnet, understands NFT marketplace realities, and can build secure NFT infrastructure end-to-end (contracts + metadata + off-chain support services).

What You’ll Do

  • Architect and deploy secure NFT smart contracts (Solidity)
  • Build advanced mint mechanics (allowlists, merkle proofs, phases, pricing logic, bot mitigation)
  • Implement reveal systems, dynamic metadata, and long-term tokenURI strategies
  • Integrate decentralized storage (IPFS, Arweave, Filecoin)
  • Build and maintain NFT infrastructure such as:
  • mint orchestration and ownership verification
  • event indexing + analytics pipelines
  • marketplace compatibility + collection tooling
  • Write tests (Hardhat / Foundry), support audits, and enforce best-practice security
  • Optimize gas usage and ensure cross-chain / L2 readiness
  • Collaborate async with product and engineering teams to ship real utility

Required Experience (This Role Is Not Entry-Level)

To be successful in this role, you should have most of the following:

  • 5+ years professional software engineering experience
  • 3+ years focused specifically on NFT smart contracts + NFT systems in production
  • Expert Solidity experience and strong contract security instincts
  • Deep knowledge of NFT standards and extensions:
  • ERC-721, ERC-1155, ERC-2981
  • ERC-6551 (Token Bound Accounts)
  • Proven mainnet NFT deployments (Ethereum or major EVM chains like Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism)
  • Experience building or scaling NFT marketplaces, launchpads, or creator tools
  • Hands-on experience with dynamic NFTs, interoperability (gaming/utility), or token-bound accounts
  • Strong experience with royalties, marketplace behaviors, metadata evolution, and advanced NFT mechanics (rentals/fractionalization, etc.)
  • Experience with Layer 2 minting, bridging NFTs, or gasless transaction frameworks
  • Comfortable integrating contracts into apps using ethers.js / viem / wagmi
  • Strong testing discipline (Hardhat/Foundry), CI/CD, and Git workflows
  • Excellent written communication in async-first environments

Bonus (If You Have It)

  • Smart contract audit experience, bug bounties, or contest platforms
  • Open-source contributions in NFT tooling or SDK development

What to Send When You Apply (Required)

Please include the following:

  • Links to deployed NFT contracts (Etherscan / Polygonscan / Basescan)
  • Links to live NFT projects, marketplaces, or dApps you’ve built
  • GitHub repos or code samples showing NFT-related Solidity work
  • Technical specs, architecture docs, or audit/security writeups

We heavily prioritize real-world NFT shipping experience.

Why Join

  • Remote + async-first environment
  • High autonomy and ownership
  • Work on real NFT utility (not just collectibles)
  • Move fast with a strong engineering culture

Apply with your proof of work + a short note about the most complex NFT system you’ve shipped.
