DIRT Protocol

🙋Why join us?

We are a small, agile team with three Y Combinator alumni who have built and scaled products before. Yin sold her last company to Microsoft, and our backers include Greylock, General Catalyst, Lightspeed, SV Angel, Pantera, Fred Ehrsam, Elad Gil, and other tier one investors.

By joining us, you can:
1/ Ramp up on cryptocurrency as an emerging technology
2/ Have a front row seat in building the data layer for the decentralized ecosystem
3/ Help us create a world where data to build applications is free and no company or government holds a monopoly on information.

💻Technical challenges

We are seeking senior full stack engineers who can carry a feature from spec to production. You will work across the stack (Solidity to front end) and have a voice in the product direction of DIRT.
Here are a few engineering challenges we want you to tackle:

🆕Designing for upgradeability - Once deployed, Ethereum smart contracts cannot be changed. We have architected our protocol to individually replace smart contracts without upgrading the entire system. How else can we future proof our contracts?

🔒Designing for security - Our smart contracts control tokens with a real economic value. Smart contract vulnerabilities such as this and this can lead to irreversible loss of funds. We are developing a robust testing infrastructure, and deployment process to guard against these mistakes. Identifying automated and human means to building a secure protocol will be critical.

🌐Designing for integration - Our first customers are developers and few developers have experience with Solidity. We need to make it easy for existing applications to integrate DIRT datasets without requiring developers to have blockchain or solidity experience.

🤝As a member of the team

1/ You'll get autonomy to make decisions AND mistakes. We're a team that biases towards shipping code and learning.
2/ You'll find a team that trusts each other. We step up for each other to create space for the team to do their job.
3/ You'll learn how to express your thoughts. We actively work on clear and succinct communication of ideas
4/ You'll learn to build decentralized apps and be a early thought leader in the space.
