Smart Contract Engineer

This role supports Veda’s Solidity engineering organization, contributing to the architecture, reliability, and security of smart contracts that power high-TVL DeFi vaults. The position involves designing new protocol features, maintaining existing vault infrastructure, and ensuring strong security practices through threat modeling, formal verification, and audit-by-design methodologies.

Engineers will work across upgrade patterns, cross-chain messaging, proxy systems, and account abstraction. The role also includes collaborating with auditors and the ecosystem while representing Veda in integrations and community engagements.
