Job description
Job Title: Senior Smart Contract Engineer / DeFi Protocol Development Engineer (Base Chain)
We are building the next generation Proprietary AMM (Prop AMM) protocol on the Base chain, aiming to create efficient, low-slippage, actively managed liquidity infrastructure that rivals the performance experience of Solana Prop AMMs (such as Humidifi, Tessera, etc.).
Job Responsibilities: Responsible for designing and developing the core Prop AMM protocol based on Base (EVM), including active pricing curves, smart market-making logic, and vault liquidity management modules.
Integrate Chainlink or other high-frequency oracles to implement real-time price update mechanisms, supporting off-chain model-driven on-chain parameter adjustments for market makers.
Optimize trade execution priority, implement MEV (toxic flow) protection strategies, and ensure tight spreads and low slippage.
Collaborate with front-end/aggregator teams to achieve seamless routing integration, supporting high-throughput trading.
Conduct contract security audits, gas optimization, stress testing, and continuously iterate on protocol mechanisms.
Research best practices of Solana Prop AMM and adapt them to the Base ecosystem (considering sequencer characteristics, etc.).
Qualifications: Solid Solidity programming experience, familiar with Foundry/Hardhat, proficient in EVM underlying mechanisms (storage slots, gas optimization, proxy patterns, etc.).
Deep understanding of AMM mechanisms (Uniswap V2/V3, Concentrated Liquidity, etc.), with experience in Prop AMM, Order Book, or active market-making related projects preferred.
Familiarity with oracle integration, MEV protection, flash loan attack defenses, and other DeFi security knowledge.
Passionate about DeFi trends, with an understanding of Solana Prop AMM architecture (such as oracle-driven quoting) preferred.
Good English reading skills, able to read the latest DeFi papers and open-source code.
Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science/Cryptography-related fields, with over 3 years of blockchain development experience.
