About Clearmatics

Clearmatics is a blockchain technology company dedicated to building decentralized financial market infrastructures that are more open, efficient, and resilient than traditional systems. We envision a new market infrastructure that empowers participants to address current economic challenges, including those in underserved markets.

Our mission is to create technologies that enable peer-to-peer trading and settlement within these new markets, utilizing digital assets whose values reflect real-world risk factors currently lacking representation in legacy markets. We collaborate with leading trading and blockchain communities to achieve this vision.

Founded in 2015, Clearmatics has been a staunch advocate for open-source development and actively participates in blockchain and cryptography research communities. We are also dedicated supporters of decentralized infrastructure initiatives.

Smart Contract Engineer Role

We are seeking a talented Smart Contract Engineer to join our Layer 1 Engineering team. Familiarity with Ethereum-like ecosystems and a passion for this space are essential.

Our work encompasses blockchain infrastructure optimized for financial applications, protocols for specific use cases (such as smart contract-based derivatives, synthetic assets, cryptocurrency stabilization, etc.), and advancements in scalability and privacy through cryptography (zkSNARKs, multiparty computation, private transactions/assets).

Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain decentralized financial smart contracts on Autonity, enabling the creation of decentralized risk markets based on real-world factors.
  • Work on a diverse range of problems, including smart derivatives, decentralized exchange (DEX) trading & settlement protocols, algorithmic stabilization, data oracles, liquid staking, and more.
  • Collaborate with quantitative researchers and protocol engineers to transform research models and prototypes into production-ready Solidity code.
  • Partner with Autonity core developers to enhance Layer 1 protocol contracts and integrate new functionality into the Autonity Go Client.
Requirements
  • 4+ years of professional experience in software engineering.
  • 2+ years of smart contract programming experience in Solidity.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Strong understanding of Eth1 protocols and proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms.
  • Familiarity with the DeFi landscape and major DeFi primitives.
  • Proficiency in Python programming and Ethereum development tools.
  • Experience interfacing with data oracles and peer-to-peer data stores (e.g., IPFS).
  • Experience working with third-party smart contract auditors.
  • Contributions to open-source projects within the Web3 space.
Bonus Points
  • Experience designing, researching, or implementing Web3 protocols.
  • Proficiency with the Python scientific computing stack (NumPy, Pandas, Jupyter).
