About ConsenSys Crosschain:


We work within the Protocol Engineering Group team which creates and contributes to the software that operates Ethereum networks, from the public chain to enterprise ecosystems.

There is a growing realization that blockchain networks will need to seamlessly communicate and interoperate, in order to deliver on their promise of becoming a new decentralised foundation for the next evolution of the web. Fast, reliable, and secure crosschain bridges are critical to enabling this multi-blockchain ecosystem. At ConsenSys, we work with a variety of customers, from financial institutions to blockchain startups, to build applications that work across multiple blockchains.

What you’ll do:


You will join a multidisciplinary and multinational product team responsible for the development and delivery of crosschain products to customers in production. These products will allow users to interact with distributed applications (like DeFi and NFTs) across multiple blockchains. You will:

  • Support and improve our production crosschain bridge, which is live on Ethereum Mainnet
  • Work with R&D to bring new crosschain protocols to production
  • Design and develop new backend components and smart contracts
  • Help shape the system architecture
  • Play a critical role in shaping the ConsenSys Crosschain product roadmap

Would be great if you brought this to the role:

  • Proficiency in Golang it’s preferred but deep experience with any strongly typed language is sufficient.
  • Experience with CI/CD setup, containers (Docker, etc) and test automation.
  • Understanding of system design, architecture and distributed systems (Queueing systems, Eventual Consistency and ACID).
  • Interest in smart contract development and Ethereum SDKs (web3,js, ethers.js, web3j, etc).
  • Proactive and self-driven to be successful working in a remote-first environment.
  • Comfortable operating in an Agile environment and dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity.
  • Good verbal and written communication skills in English to engage with your team and stakeholders effectively.
  • Collaborative by nature; willing to give and receive feedback

Don’t check all of the boxes? Don’t sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you’ve got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway. While we have a pretty good idea of what we need, we’re ready for you to challenge our thinking on who needs to be in this role.
