Job Title: Senior Software Engineer, Developer Tools

Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full-time

About the Team

• The Hardhat team builds our established and market-leading products.
• These are user-facing infrastructure that developers use to write, test, compile, and deploy their Solidity contracts for Ethereum. Our users depend on our products for their end-to-end experience of building software.
• We deliver these features at scale, with users ranging from beginners learning the ropes to teams managing production systems with billions in user on-chain capital at stake.
• We aim to provide the Ethereum ecosystem with a professional developer tool that they can rely on to rigorously build, test, and maintain Ethereum software.
• This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.

Responsibilities 
What you’ll do:

• Work on an open-source project
• Help triage Github issues and support users
• Tackle large, complex, and ambiguous projects, starting from a set of high-level product requirements
• Identify and/or clarify requirements and analyze tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, user value, and non-functional requirements
• Deep dive into user pain points, concerns, and requests
• Independently solve tasks that range from complex design/architecture issues and complex previously unknown blockers to churning through coding tasks and bugs at a high pace
• Uncover unknowns or gaps and prototype solutions for major risks
• Act as a force multiplier for the team
• Contribute to project management and roadmap planning. You’ll outline risks and dependencies and break down scopes and roadmap items into tangible milestones while optimizing for fast delivery
• Keep timely communication with management stakeholders, other engineering teams, and other functions
• Coach other engineers on technical topics

Requirements
Who we’re looking for:

• At least 5 years of experience as a software engineer
• 2+ years of working with TypeScript
• Knowledge and experience with Node.js, particularly if it involved tooling development
• We work remotely and mostly asynchronously, so the ability to take ownership and work with minimal direction is crucial
• As this is an expansive open source project, in a rapidly changing ecosystem, we are seeking a teammate who is comfortable adapting to changing requirements
• Prior experience working in a remote and globally-distributed environment
• Enthusiasm for the prospect of shepherding a major open source project and a cornerstone of Ethereum development

Compensation and Benefits

• Unlimited PTO
• Budget for hardware equipment
• Annual Learning & Development Budget
• Vesting ETH grant as part of total compensation
• Statutory benefits specific to your location (depending on the employment contract)
