Competitive compensation based on experience · Full-time · Mangalore, India · On-site preferred, remote acceptable

The Role

As a Smart Contract Developer at Vinyl Equity, you'll play a crucial role in shaping our blockchain initiatives. We're looking for someone who can set up a proof of concept (POC) to emulate transfer-agency workflows, primarily focusing on Ethereum, while also being open to Solana and Canton based on your strengths. This is a growth hire, and your contributions will directly impact our team's capabilities in the rapidly evolving blockchain space.

The Work

• Develop and implement a POC for transfer-agency workflows on Ethereum, with the flexibility to adapt to Solana or Canton based on your expertise.
• Collaborate closely with the tech lead, project manager, and product manager to gather requirements and plan milestones during onboarding.
• Deliver key documentation by day 30, including requirements gathering and milestone planning, to ensure alignment and clarity.
• Provide essential security deliverables by day 45, such as a threat model and testing plan, adhering to industry-standard security practices.
• Complete the initial POC by day 60 and deploy contracts on both testnet and mainnet by day 90, ensuring all security standards are met.

What You'll Need

• Proficiency in Solidity and experience with Ethereum-based smart contract development.
• Familiarity with Solana and/or Canton is a plus.
• Experience building decentralized applications and DeFi apps, demonstrating a strong understanding of blockchain technology.
• Ability to gather requirements, plan milestones, and avoid project drift effectively.
• Openness to learning new technologies and adapting to evolving project needs.

Even Better If

• You have experience with security tooling and practices, including threat modeling, audits, and systematic testing.
• You’ve previously worked in a collaborative team environment focused on blockchain and smart contracts.

Who Thrives Here

You are someone who:

• Treats smart-contract security as a first-class concern, not a post-hoc checklist — you've read post-mortems of on-chain exploits and internalized them.
• Ships and iterates in environments where mistakes are expensive and immutable.
• Writes tests alongside the contract, and pushes back when a deadline threatens your coverage.
• Scopes aggressively on a greenfield POC — would rather ship a smaller contract that's audited than a bigger one that isn't.
• Co-creates plans with the PM rather than waiting for tickets.

The Team

You'll be joining a collaborative team focused on blockchain and smart contracts, reporting directly to the tech lead, project manager, and product manager. Our team values innovation and technical expertise, working together to build a strong foundation in blockchain technology.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience.
• Flexible work arrangements (remote acceptable, on-site preferred).
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
• A supportive team environment that encourages innovation and learning.
