Smart Contract Engineer — Solidity

Veda builds DeFi infrastructure that enables financial platforms to launch on-chain yield products through enterprise-grade integrations. The protocol supports multiple large vault products and operates at multi-billion TVL scale with a global user base.

This Smart Contract Engineer role focuses on Solidity development across vault systems, upgradeable proxy architecture, account abstraction, and cross-chain messaging. The position owns architecture, delivery, and security of production smart contracts securing significant on-chain assets. As part of web3 smart contract roles within a high-growth DeFi protocol, you will contribute to secure contract design, deployment, upgrades, and audit coordination. The team operates remote-first and emphasizes reliability, formal verification, and audit-by-design security practices.

This position sits within layer 2 scaling jobs and broader DeFi infrastructure, where contract safety and system resilience directly impact user funds.

🔹 Responsibilities

• Contribute across Solidity codebases including upgrade patterns, proxy architecture, account abstraction, and cross-chain messaging
• Lead structured design reviews, threat modeling, fuzz testing, and formal verification processes
• Deploy, maintain, and upgrade production vault contracts
• Own end-to-end delivery of new protocol features
• Coordinate with external auditors and manage bug bounty programs
• Implement on-chain monitoring and incident response playbooks
• Represent the protocol in integrations, conferences, and open-source discussions

These expectations align with what recruiters look for in crypto jobs when evaluating senior smart contract engineers.

🔹 Requirements

• 6+ years of software engineering experience
• 2–3+ years writing production Solidity, including ERC-20, ERC-4626, custom libraries, and proxy/upgrade patterns
• Proven record of building or maintaining contract systems without critical incidents
• Strong understanding of EVM internals, gas optimization, storage layout, and common exploits (re-entrancy, oracle manipulation, MEV)
• Proficiency with Foundry and/or Hardhat
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Familiarity with multi-chain DeFi interactions and cross-chain messaging standards
• Professional experience with Rust
• Experience with Move-based smart contract platforms (e.g., Aptos)
• Background in traditional finance, risk, credit, or derivatives
• Contributions to open-source security research, EIPs, or protocol governance
• Formal verification experience
• Experience working through audit cycles with firms such as Trail of Bits or Spearbit

🔹 Compensation & Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage (with international contractor support for local/global coverage)
• Flexible time off (no fixed vacation tracking)
• Remote-first work structure across time zones
• Paid parental leave
• Learning and development stipends for courses, conferences, and professional growth
