Ensofinance Cosmos Engineer (Remote)

Enso Finance is building the future of decentralized finance (DeFi) by developing a cross-chain protocol that enables seamless interoperability across both EVM and non-EVM blockchains. Our mission is to provide users with decentralized, permissionless access to liquidity, assets, and yield opportunities across multiple chains. As a rapidly growing protocol, we are looking for passionate engineers to help us build and scale our platform.

Job Description

We are looking for a Blockchain Engineer with expertise in Cosmos SDK-based chains to join our team. In this role, you will work on building bridges and infrastructure that enables seamless cross-chain communication. You will collaborate closely with developers working on EVM and non-EVM chains to ensure smooth interactions across different blockchain ecosystems. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge DeFi protocol while working in a highly decentralized and innovative environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Bridge Development: Design, implement, and optimize secure and scalable cross-chain bridges using the Cosmos SDK, enabling seamless interaction between EVM and non-EVM chains.
• Protocol Integration: Collaborate on integrating various blockchain protocols with the Enso Finance platform, focusing on interoperability between different chains and ensuring smooth DeFi operations.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Collaborate with a globally distributed team of engineers, researchers, and protocol designers. Provide mentorship and guidance to junior developers when necessary.
• Performance Optimization: Analyze and optimize the performance of the bridges and blockchain interactions, ensuring low latency, high throughput, and secure data transfer.
• Security & Auditing: Conduct code reviews, security audits, and implement best practices for blockchain security to safeguard the protocol from vulnerabilities.
• Proven Experience: Demonstrated experience in developing Cosmos SDK-based chains, with a strong portfolio of successful projects.
• Blockchain Knowledge: In-depth understanding of blockchain technology, consensus algorithms, and smart contract development, particularly within the Cosmos ecosystem.
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Go or Rust, and experience with blockchain-related languages (e.g., Solidity) is a must. Knowledge of cross-chain technologies like IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) is highly desirable.
• Cross-chain Experience: Previous experience working on bridges or cross-chain communication in blockchain ecosystems, especially between EVM and non-EVM chains.
• Problem Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a passion for developing scalable blockchain solutions.
• Open Source: Experience in contributing to or managing open-source blockchain projects is highly desirable.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with IBC, Tendermint, or other consensus protocols within Cosmos SDK.
• Familiarity with EVM-based chains like Ethereum and their interaction with non-EVM environments.
• Understanding of security vulnerabilities in cross-chain systems and experience in mitigating these risks.
• Knowledge of cryptographic algorithms used in blockchain technology, including zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, etc.

Why Join Enso Finance?:

• Be part of a pioneering team building cross-chain DeFi solutions.
• Work in a highly decentralized, remote-first environment with a global team.
• Competitive compensation, with potential for token-based rewards and equity options.
• Opportunities for growth and learning in one of the most innovative sectors in the blockchain industry.
