Senior Protocol Engineer
We’re looking for an incredible software engineer to help us build the future of blockchain scalability.

If you’re looking to work in a fast-paced, high-impact team and help shape the direction of our product and company, this position is for you.

About Caldera
Caldera enables dynamic, scalable blockchain experiences. Currently, dapps that are deployed to general-purpose blockchain compete with thousands of other applications for space on the network — this can lead to
congestion and high fees
or even
network outages .
That’s where we come in.
We’re building software that makes it easy for the most innovative blockchain applications to launch their own ultra-performant blockchains ( rollups ), enabling applications to own their ecosystem, scale to millions of users, and provide a superior user experience to their players.
We’re located in San Francisco, and work in-person from the Financial District
As a Senior Protocol Engineer at Caldera, you will:
Help architect the blockchain node that comprises the backbone of our software offering. You’ll be working on the cutting edge of blockchain scaling, building new kinds of layer twos.
Make improvements or extensions to the virtual machine that runs Ethereum smart contract code ie custom precompiles
Evaluate database backends, networking libraries, and other tools and help make decisions as to which should be included in our stack
Write efficient and secure EVM smart contracts in solidity
You might be a fit for this role if you...
Have 4+ years of engineering experience
Have a deep knowledge of Go, Rust or similar languages
Have built Ethereum “dapps” with Solidity or Yul
Have experience working with distributed or embedded systems before
Love writing fast, well-optimized, well-tested, clean code
Are confident with performance optimization, identifying bottlenecks and scalability concerns
Bonus points if you...
Are familiar with how blockchains like Ethereum or Bitcoin work under the hood
Are up-to-date with Ethereum scaling solutions such as sidechains or rollups
Have implemented or used a consensus algorithm (eg. Paxos/Raft, pBFT, tendermint, ...) in the past
Have an understanding of cryptography primitives, such as hash functions or digital signatures
Have significant open-source contributions, especially in blockchain clients/node software, databases, networking, or programming languages/frameworks
If in doubt, please apply We will find a place for great candidates, even if you feel that you don’t check all of the boxes
