EVM Smart Contract Engineer

As an EVM Smart Contract Engineer at Nibiru Chain, your primary responsibilities include designing and developing smart contracts on Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, ensuring robust security through testing frameworks and audits, collaborating with product teams on protocol architecture, integrating smart contracts into the broader ecosystem with various development teams, and conducting ongoing research to keep up with Ethereum standards and innovations.

To qualify for the EVM Smart Contract Engineer role at Nibiru Chain, candidates should have at least 2 years of professional software development experience, ideally in blockchain or crypto. A proven track record of developing production-grade smart contracts in Solidity, familiarity with Web3 tooling (such as Hardhat and Truffle), and a deep understanding of EVM and gas optimization are necessary to excel in this position.

Nibiru Chain offers a remote work environment, allowing EVM Smart Contract Engineers to work from anywhere. This flexibility fosters a diverse and inclusive atmosphere where team members can communicate and collaborate effectively, regardless of their geographical location. We believe that diverse teams lead to the best innovation and effectiveness.

The EVM Smart Contract Engineer at Nibiru Chain improves team efficiency by setting up effective processes and tooling. By implementing robust testing frameworks and best practices, they ensure high-quality code that streamlines project management and minimizes risks, allowing the team to focus on innovation and reaching milestones.

An EVM Smart Contract Engineer at Nibiru Chain should be well-versed in Solidity for smart contract development, familiar with Web3 tools like Hardhat, Truffle, and Remix, and have a solid understanding of version control systems like Git. Knowledge of Ethereum standards like ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 is also crucial.

Discuss specific projects where you developed smart contracts, highlighting the challenges you faced and how you overcame them. Make sure to mention any production-grade contracts you've deployed and the impact they had on users or the business.

Talk about the security best practices you follow, such as peer reviews, testing frameworks, and conducting audits. Mention specific tools and methodologies you've implemented to prevent vulnerabilities.

Explain that gas optimization affects transaction costs and performance. Describe techniques you've used to reduce gas costs, such as optimizing smart contract logic and reducing storage usage.

Share your methods for researching the latest developments, such as following blogs, engaging with the developer community on social platforms, reading relevant EIPs, or contributing to open source projects.

Outline your approach to smart contract development from concept to deployment, including requirements gathering, design, coding practices, testing strategies, and how you document your work for ongoing maintenance.

Discuss your collaboration with front-end developers, focusing on how you ensure seamless integration of smart contracts. Provide examples of challenges faced and how communication helped solve those issues.

Highlight user experience, scalability, security, and compatibility with existing tools. Discuss how you would prioritize these factors based on user needs and business goals.

Share a specific example of a complex issue, detailing your thought process and the steps you took to overcome the problem. Highlight any innovations or improvements this brought to the project.

Mention the tools you are most comfortable using, such as Hardhat or Truffle. Discuss the advantages of these tools in your testing workflow, including ease of use and integration with development processes.

Explain your documentation process, emphasizing clarity and accessibility for both internal and external developers. Talk about the importance of good documentation for maintaining and updating contracts over time.
