Synternet is a Layer 1 blockchain that powers real-time data infrastructure on any chain. Its foundation is the Data Layer, a protocol that enables chain-agnostic data composability in real-time through utilizing a novel, modular smart contract architecture.
We are seeking an experienced Blockchain Architect to help lead the design and development of our Layer 1 protocol with a primary focus on achieving cross-chain interoperability. As a key member of our team, the ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of different chain architectures, advanced knowledge of decentralized systems, and expertise in creating a flexible smart contract library capable of interacting with diverse chains in a modular and efficient capacity.
We have an extremely knowledgeable and capable Engineering/Technology team covering all essential development areas, and this position will bring additional leadership expertise to look after the overall Blockchain vision, strategy, and their implementation.
You will join a company filled with like-minded people who understand the purpose and impact of our project, and you will help to fulfill that purpose. Find out more at https://www.synternet.com/ .
We're remote-first, so you can be based anywhere, although alignment with European time zones would be preferred.
