About The Role:

The Smart Contracts team is looking for a seasoned engineer who can contribute to the development of the Hedera services in both the Java and the web3 APIs in JS/TS that process smart contract transactions across the network submitted using varied web3 tools.

You may find yourself doing all of the following:

• Staying connected with the EVM ecosystem, bringing vital learnings, discussions, and applicable explorations on Hedera back to the team to improve EVM DevEx
• Implementing and enhancing the Java-based smart contract services on the Hedera network that parse byte code and process transactions submitted to the network via an EVM  client
• Designing, developing, and maintaining server-side logic for back-end solutions with public APIs involving TypeScript, SQL, data ingestion, REST, GraphQL, and Web Sockets
• Applying Web3 knowledge of Solidity and EVM transactions life cycle
• Writing efficient, reusable, and reliable code to optimize for maximum speed, scalability, and system efficiency
• Exploring and unblocking web3 tool and DApp integration capabilities on Hedera, ensuring devs can continue to use their familiar tools when migrating to Hedera from other EVM chains
• Continuously discovering, evaluating, and implementing new technologies to maximize development efficiency and effectiveness
• Developing various aspects of the Hedera Hashgraph Distributed Ledger Ecosystem
• Being a strong and proficient hands-on programmer
• Spending 80% of your time designing, coding, and testing

• Experience with Ethereum Development Suites (e.g., Harhat, Foundry, Truffle, Ganache, Tenderly)
• Experience writing secure, efficient, and gas-optimized smart contracts for decentralized applications (DApps) on  EVM-compatible networks
• Understanding of Ethereum ecosystem ERC20s, ERC721s, ERC1155s, on-chain and off-chain
• Experience with Wallet integrations (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.): Tools and libraries for connecting Web3 applications with users' cryptocurrency wallets
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design and development
• Familiarity with test-driven software development processes and continuous integration tools and systems
• Experience with web3 tools that support development, indexing, and transaction management, such as TheGraph
• 7+ years of software development experience
• Master’s degree in Computer Science or a similar field or equivalent work experience

Other skills that are great to bring with you but that we can help you develop:

• Knowledge of the Hedera network
• Deep knowledge of and experience with the Java VM, covering its strengths and weaknesses
