Lead Protocol Engineer
Location: Remote (with sensible overlap with CET working hours)
TLDR: We’re looking for a Lead Protocol Engineer who will be responsible for owning protocol design, architecture and implementation for our decentralized professional network protocol.
About Backdrop
Backdrop is a decentralized network for work. It’s an open, permissionless, and distributed network built on-chain (on Ethereum) and off-chain, where people can connect, create, collaborate, find opportunities, and build amazing things together.
Backdrop Labs is the company building software for this decentralized protocol and network.
What you'll be responsible for
This is a very senior role. You will work with the entire team and will go from strategy to implementation. We are a product-led protocol, so your work will support both apps and protocol, and you will make contributions on virtually all engineering efforts.
You will own, design, build, and ship the v1 for our decentralized protocol. The protocol has on-chain components built on Ethereum, and off-chain components running through permissionless APIs. You will be responsible for our longer term steps to decentralize the data storage layer, and making Backdrop sufficiently decentralized.
Most of your work on the protocol will be open source, so we expect that you are particularly excited about open source software, and have experience leading and contributing to open source software initiatives.
Your must haves:
6+ years of experience writing production software
2+ years of experience on distributed systems problems, or building decentralized protocols
Experience building and maintaining open source software
Experience deploying and managing smart contracts on Ethereum
Experience building for developers with a keen eye for developer experience
Live between +-2h of CET (GMT+1) time zone
Why Backdrop
A tight-knit team of experienced builders. No bullshit, no non-sense, no corporate crap. We love to build, we hate fluffy talk
Profoundly optimistic people, who are excited about the future of the internet, future of work, and how we can help for decades to come
Autonomy and agency to get the work done. We're lean and have a bias for action, experimenting, and just figuring things out.
We're supported by amazing investors who are excited about our vision — from leaders in the space, DAOs, operators, and a few of the best VCs in web3.
You'll get:
A more generous offer than most companies at our scale—in line with the best US-based startups, without needing to live in the US
Remote-first flexibility to work from anywhere you want, with a company culture and structure to support that from day one.
Opportunities every day to influence, build, and shape things along with a group of experienced builders who truly loves what we are building
