Welcome to Arkive!

Arkive is a web3 native museum of physical, culturally significant artifacts curated by its members.

Here’s where you come in

A little more on what the Smart Contracts Engineer role is all about:

• Architect smart contract protocols and map out use case constraints with the product team
• Build secure smart contract protocols and backend services to connect users with the crypto ecosystem (NFT membership passes; Arkive provenance protocol, token engineering)
• Drive standardization in crypto protocols by designing and defining interfaces
• Test protocols and audit for security gaps, often in an automated function and via in-depth team code review sessions
• Deploy contracts to mainnet used by tens of thousands of users to curate collections
• Interact with Snapshot and other DAO tooling products to enable user experiences

Requirements

• A green GitHub wall or 5+ years of experience working in a backend software engineering role; you have helped ship live products before
• Comfortable working in Solidity and with extensive experience in strongly typed languages
• You have full stack experience and feel comfortable writing both client and backend code that interacts with our smart contracts
• You enjoy seeing your tests pass and care deeply about correctness and code purity.
• You’re a self-starter. You’ve either led projects yourself or worked as part of a small team before.
• You pride yourself on writing readable and maintainable code. You understand that the code you write today will be maintained by someone else in a few months 💪
• Knowledge of cryptography fundamentals and are interest in protocol engineering more broadly (a strong understanding of the Ethereum Virtual Machine a big plus)

Ok, web3’s hot rn... but why Arkive?

• A core team with experience founding 9 startups with 5 exits, including to Coinbase. Founder-market fit like crazy with a team of private art curators, logistics and item storage experts, talent agent specialists, and a computer science PhD and Harvard dropout alike.
• A spicy package of cash and equity/token warrant. A founding team title and other fun perks like a Membership NFTs welcoming you to the community, a work from home setup stipend, office membership, exclusive museum and gallery passes, and a Discord full of channels with some terrific banter.
• Flexibility to work from anywhere in the world, along with all-expenses paid quarterly team gatherings in fun places worldwide (in our 9 person offsite this March in LA, we somehow had Justin Bieber eating at the table next to us... coincidence? I think not...)
