Senior Software Engineer, Runtime

Nomic Foundation · Remote · Senior · Remote

Who we are:

The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a tangible impact.

About the team

The EDR team builds an Ethereum runtime designed for developer tooling. Our users are initially the Hardhat users and, later on, third-party tooling developers integrating our runtime APIs to analyze Solidity code execution for their own users. In its first iteration, EDR is a complete Rust rewrite of Hardhat’s Ethereum network simulation used for Solidity development and testing before production deployment. We aim to build a reusable runtime library to empower the Ethereum ecosystem to build better code execution analysis tools.

This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.

What you’ll do:

Maintain and implement low-level functionality at the EVM bytecode level in Rust
Work on an open-source project while helping triage Github issues and supporting users
Tackle large, complex, and ambiguous projects, starting from a set of high-level product requirements
Identify and/or clarify requirements and analyze tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, user value, and non-functional requirements
Deep dive into user pain points, concerns, and requests
Independently solve tasks that range from complex design/architecture issues and complex previously unknown blockers to churning through coding tasks and bugs at a high pace
Uncover unknowns or gaps and prototype solutions for major risks
Act as a force multiplier for the team
Contribute to project management and roadmap planning. You’ll outline risks and dependencies and break down scopes and roadmap items into tangible milestones while optimizing for fast delivery
Keep timely communication with management stakeholders, other engineering teams, and other functions
Coach other engineers on technical topics

Who we’re looking for:

At least 5 years of experience working on systems software
5+ years of experience with C++ OR 2+ years of working with Rust
You have a product-oriented mindset. You focus on future usage of what you’re building, always considering its impact, and make trade-offs accordingly
Prior experience working in a remote and globally distributed environment. We work mostly asynchronously, so the ability to take ownership strongly and work with minimal direction is crucial
Experienced in cross-team collaboration
As this is an early-stage project, we are seeking a teammate who is comfortable adapting to changing requirements
Knowledge of Ethereum is a plus, especially low-level concepts, but it’s not required

Compensation and benefits

Unlimited PTO
Budget for hardware equipment
Annual Learning & Development Budget
Vesting ETH grant as part of total compensation
Statutory benefits specific to your location (depending on the employment contract)
