Blockchain Engineer (Remote) (Full-Time)

Veda is at the forefront of innovation, pioneering an Actively Validated Service (AVS) to be the first Native Yield Layer in the DeFi stack. Native Yield is all about embedding yield directly into user experiences. Whether it's by default, like earning on capital in an L2 bridge, or through easy opt-in products, the goal is clear: minimize opportunity costs and simplify user adoption for protocols and ecosystems. At only four months old, our protocol has already amassed over $1B in TVL and forged partnerships with blue-chip DeFi protocols like ether.fi.

Our team comprises adept DeFi builders driven by a passion for enhancing DeFi UX and broadening accessibility. Although fully remote, we prefer candidates aligned with Western timezones.

We seek individuals with high agency to join us in defining the emerging Native Yield category. The ideal candidate takes ownership, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and adapts swiftly to evolving demands.

Working closely with our founding team, the individual will be tasked with leading the design and development of our Actively Validated Services (AVS). Within the Veda architecture, the AVS will perform critical functions such as serving as an cross-chain oracle network that securely prices all DeFi positions held by the protocol. The AVS will also provide additional user safeguards such as rebalance simulations and rate limiting. You will oversee the design of the AVS, defining its technical requirements, and take charge of both its initial implementation and ongoing feature enhancements. You will be responsible for making sure that the AVS is not only performant but remains highly secure against malicious actors.

Candidates should possess a track record of Rust blockchain development and MUST be DeFi-native.
