    Smart Contract Development :

    Write, test, and deploy smart contracts that perform decentralized, autonomous functions on the Cosmos network.

  • Build contracts for various dApp functionalities such as token transfers, staking, voting, and governance.
  • Custom Chain Development :

    Work on modules or custom applications within the Cosmos SDK, potentially building a chain from scratch or adding to an existing Cosmos-based chain.

  • Develop and integrate Cosmos SDK modules to enable specific functionality, such as DeFi services, cross-chain token swaps, or NFT platforms.

    Ensure that the deployed contracts and applications operate smoothly, debugging, and troubleshooting any issues that arise.

  • Optimize the code for performance, cost, and security.
  • Interoperability Management :

    Utilize IBC to create interoperable smart contracts, enabling communication and token transfer across other IBC-compatible blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem.

  • Contribute to bridging and compatibility solutions to allow assets and information to flow seamlessly.
  • Security Audits and Reviews :

    Conduct internal reviews and external audits of smart contracts, ensuring they are resilient to security vulnerabilities and adhere to best practices.

  • Blockchain and Distributed Systems Knowledge :

    Strong grasp of blockchain principles, consensus mechanisms (Tendermint, specifically for Cosmos), cryptographic concepts, and distributed ledger technologies.

  • Familiarity with Cosmos's IBC protocol, which is essential for enabling interoperability across different blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem.
  • Smart Contract and dApp Development and Deployment :

    Experience in creating, testing, and deploying smart contracts and dApps on testnet and mainnet environments.

  • Ability to use testing frameworks and blockchain development tools to simulate and validate contract functionality.
  • Security and Auditing Skills :

    Smart contract developers must ensure that contracts are secure and free of vulnerabilities, which could lead to exploits.

  • Familiarity with security best practices and common vulnerabilities like reentrancy attacks, integer overflows, and front-running.
