Solidity Engineer, Full Stack

Avantis Labs is developing a suite of composable margin-based products, starting with derivatives (perpetuals). The first product, Avantis, is a capital-efficient DeFi protocol for leverage trading cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange and commodities. The sector (perpetuals) has proven product-market fit, and represents one of the largest whitespaces for innovation and market size expansion in DeFi (compared to CeFi). Avantis is backed by leading traditional and crypto-native venture investors who believe in our vision of making leveraged trading and market making accessible to everyone, not just institutions.

We are currently seeking a talented and experienced Founding Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have deep experience in web3 software development and DeFi, along with broad experience across other functional areas such as design, product, and data. A background in blockchain (as a consumer and developer) and a deep passion for DeFi is required.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate closely with the co-founders (CTO, CEO), designers, and other stakeholders to translate ideas into actionable engineering tasks.
  • Dig deep into the derivatives landscape to stay up-to-date on the latest product and technical innovations
  • Evaluate and select the most suitable technologies, tools, and frameworks for new product development projects.
  • Design and develop product architectures that balance flexibility with speed
  • Implement, test, and maintain high-quality code, ensuring the delivery of robust, scalable, and maintainable software over time.
  • Help to grow the engineering team, through both formal processes such as hiring and performance management and informal processes such as technical leadership, mentorship, and guidance.
  • Stay abreast of industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in DeFi 
  • Drive the integration of smart contract technologies into the product stack when applicable and contribute to the development of smart contract best practices.
  • Continuously improve the development process, identifying opportunities for increased efficiency and effectiveness.
