Job Description

Principal EVM Engineer - Smart Contracts Team

MLabs

Senior/Lead EVM Engineer - Distributed Ledger Optimization Location: Remote - US Compensation: Competitive We are a fast-growing software company dedicated to supporting and evolving a leading open-source, proof-of-stake distributed ledger platform. Our network is EVM-compatible and specifically engineered to meet the demands of enterprise and Web3 applications that require industry-leading speed, security, and sustainability. We are looking for a Seasoned Java Engineer with deep blockchain protocol experience to join our Smart Contracts Team. In this role, you will be a key contributor to the evolution and optimization of our EVM implementation. You will work on a "plain Java" codebase (no heavy frameworks) where high performance, low latency, and high throughput are the baseline requirements. Key Responsibilities: - Collaborate daily on the design and implementation of core blockchain features. - Innovate on transaction processing, execution algorithms, and EVM opcodes. - Bridge the gap between the Ethereum roadmap and our native network innovations. - Contribute to open-source clients focusing on VM state transitions and performance improvements. - Implement community-requested improvement proposals (HIPs). - Test and validate the EVM using both Ethereum community tools and native consensus node testing suites. - Focus on Craft: Spend approximately 80% of your time designing, coding, and testing.

Job Requirements

  • Education: Master’s degree in Computer Science (or similar field) or equivalent professional experience.
  • Experience: 10+ years of software development experience, with at least 4+ years specifically in blockchain protocol development.
  • Java Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in the Java language and VM. You should be comfortable working in a "plain vanilla" Java environment without the crutch of libraries or frameworks.
  • EVM Expertise: Deep architectural knowledge of EVM-based blockchains and experience writing/debugging smart contracts.
  • Leadership: Experience in a Tech Lead or Team Lead capacity, with a proven ability to mentor and guide engineers up to the Staff level.
  • Computer Science Fundamentals: A rigorous grasp of concurrency, performance optimization, and high-performance architectural design patterns.
  • Quality Focus: Strong adherence to test-driven development (TDD), CI/CD processes, and cryptographic security principles.
  • Bonus Points:
  • Hands-on experience with Hyperledger Besu.
  • Expertise with compilers, parsers, interpreters, or Garbage Collector (GC) tuning (Hotspot/GraalVM).
  • Experience with Protobuf and compile-time dependency injection (e.g., Dagger).
  • Familiarity with Web3 tooling (JavaScript/TypeScript) and data-flow analysis.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation: High-growth salary structure.
  • Equity & Tokens: Direct stake in the ecosystem’s success through equity and token grants.
  • Performance Bonuses: Annual bonuses based on impact and delivery.
  • Comprehensive Health: Full health insurance and 401k matching (for US-based employees).
  • Innovation-First Culture: Work on a decentralized platform governed by world-leading organizations across 11 different sectors.
  • Due to the high volume of applications we anticipate, we regret that we are unable to provide individual feedback to all candidates. If you do not hear back from us within 4 weeks of your application, please assume that you have not been successful on this occasion.
