Senior Protocol Engineer

Summary

Join Ava Labs, a world-class blockchain development team, and contribute to extending the Avalanche Primary Network for easier Subnet deployment and interaction. Design abstractions over the EVM to enhance its adaptability to Avalanche. Develop and maintain low-level libraries for Custom Virtual Machines to communicate with AvalancheGo. Work on projects like improving P-Chain uptime voting scalability, transitioning Subnets to dynamic fees, augmenting Permissionless Subnet security, and enabling Cross-Subnet Communication. Ava Labs offers a collaborative environment for talented contributors passionate about open-source code and blockchain technology.

Requirements

• Demonstrated capability in subject area (open source code or published work is a bonus)
• Golang or Rust programming experience
• You believe in a future where blockchain technologies make the world a more fair and free place for everyone
• You have the desire to work on open-source code and engage with the community. You wish to work together with other talented contributors instead of working alone
• You are a coder. You prefer implementing a proof-of-concept before writing a multi-page technical document
• You create and find projects that provide value. You don’t need to wait for someone to tell you what to research or work on
• You have an obsession with code quality and performance. You ship code when it is ready, not as soon as it passes unit tests

Responsibilities

• Extend the Avalanche Primary Network to make deploying and interacting with Subnets more simple and accessible
• Design abstractions over the EVM such that its core components can be independently deployed, optimized, and better adapted to Avalanche
• Write and maintain low-level libraries that Custom Virtual Machines can use to communicate with AvalancheGo
• Make P-Chain uptime voting more scalable using BLS Multi-Signatures
• Transition Subnets to use dynamic fees to price Subnet registration
• Augment the security of Permissionless Subnets with Avalanche
• Enable Cross-Subnet Communication across the Avalanche Network using Avalanche Warp Messaging
