Looking to join a world-class blockchain development team? Ava Labs makes it simple to deploy high-performance solutions for Web3, led by innovations on Avalanche. The company was founded by Cornell computer scientists, who partnered with Wall Street veterans and early Web3 leaders to execute a promising vision for redefining the way people build permissionless networks. Ava Labs is redefining the way people create value with Web3. Join us as we empower people to easily and freely digitize all the world’s assets on one open, programmable blockchain platform.

We are looking for a Staff Engineer to join our Platform Engineering Group. This team is responsible for maintaining and advancing the EVM for the Avalanche blockchain and its ecosystem.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Maintain and advance Avalanche’s EVM-compatible chains.

Design and implement paradigm-shifting extensions on top of vanilla EVMs, without breaking ecosystem compatibility.

Here are some specific examples of projects you will contribute to:

libevm (repo): the EVM as a library; a backwards-compatible fork of geth with injectable configuration directives to minimise merge conflicts.

Streaming Asynchronous Execution (spec / talk / repo): decoupled consensus and execution, allowing for always-on, concurrent execution without forced dormancy.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT

A self-starter with insatiable curiosity, combined with being comfortable diving into someone else’s code to understand
