Smart Contract Engineer
You will contribute to our Solidity engineering organization, taking part in architecture, delivery, and security for all on-chain code. You'll help uphold world-class security and reliability standards for contracts securing ten-figure TVL. You'll drive rigorous design reviews, threat modeling, fuzz testing, and formal verification to achieve an audit-by-design approach to security. You'll own the continuous deployment, maintenance, and upgrades of existing vaults, and take end-to-end ownership of new protocol features. You'll manage external auditors and bug-bounty programs, implement on-chain monitoring and incident-response playbooks, and represent Veda in client integrations, conferences, and the broader open-source community.
