Looking to join a world-class blockchain development team? Ava Labs makes it simple to deploy high-performance solutions for Web3, led by innovations on Avalanche. The company was founded by Cornell computer scientists, who partnered with Wall Street veterans and early Web3 leaders to execute a promising vision for redefining the way people build permissionless networks. Ava Labs is redefining the way people create value with Web3. Join us as we empower people to easily and freely digitize all the world’s assets on one open, programmable blockchain platform.

• Maintain and advance Avalanche’s EVM-compatible chains.
• Design and implement paradigm-shifting extensions on top of vanilla EVMs, without breaking ecosystem compatibility.
• Here are some specific examples of projects you will contribute to:
• • libevm (repo): the EVM as a library; a backwards-compatible fork of geth with injectable configuration directives to minimise merge conflicts.
  • Streaming Asynchronous Execution (spec / talk / repo): decoupled consensus and execution, allowing for always-on, concurrent execution without forced dormancy.

• A self-starter with insatiable curiosity, combined with being comfortable diving into someone else’s code to understand how it works. You treat the code as the source of truth and are able to discern nuances from there.
• Meticulous attention to detail and an appreciation for clean, maintainable code. You create software as much for the end user as for the love of the craft.
• You feel at home in a hacker culture. You believe that creativity is not just limited to the arts. You understand the rules of the system primarily so you can bend them.

• Highly proficient in Golang; the language and its primitives are second-nature to you, and you are comfortable mentoring others.
• Independent Solidity experience; you are comfortable deploying a smart contract to production.
• Deep knowledge of the life of an EVM transaction, from wallet to opcode.

Salary Range: $253,479 to $269,321
