Role Overview:
We value generalists and think of software as an engineering discipline. This hybrid role combines responsibilities in DApp development, technical infrastructure, and documentation to support our testnet launch and beyond. The focus is on building innovative applications that showcase Litheum’s capabilities, ensuring seamless system operations, and providing exceptional developer support.
Additionally, you will be supporting our marketing team by helping maintain our website, which can be found at litheum.com, and creating occasional landing pages for various ad campaigns.
LitheumCore is our main project, a rust-based implementation of Litheum. We have integrated revm for EVM support and need to demonstrate Litheum’s capabilities by creating custom DApps on top of our chain. Because Litheum is capable of much higher throughput than other chains there is an opportunity for DApp developers to build new, impactful user experiences that are fully onchain yet take full advantage of the value of decentralization. The first thing we’d like to build is an order-book-based DEX, similar to traditional exchanges, but fully onchain.
We practice agile/scrum methodologies and follow Test Driven Development and Continuous Integration best practices.
Responsibilities:
You should have very strong knowledge of data structures and algorithms and a solid understanding of computational complexity (Big-O).
You should have strong abilities at Linux sysadmin: vim or emacs, nginx config, systemd, containerization, bash/zsh, awk or python or similar.
Your desktop should run Linux or MacOS.
Solid understanding of the async revolution and its interplay with I/O, i.e. you should understand why asynchronous programming has taken over. Bonus if you know c10k and c10m.
You should know the following names: ESR, K&R, Ryan Dahl, Joel Spolsky, Ken Thompson, Rob Pike, Donald Knuth.
In addition, basic ability to update and work with HTML/CSS for basic tasks such as adding tracking code, fixing copy, and debugging very basic javascript. We have a 3rd party web design team, but must handle deployment and one-off issues ourselves.
Additionally, as Litheum is a platform, our primary concern is the DApp developers who will build DApps on Litheum. We will need to support them with documentation, bug triage, one-off communications, hackathons, etc. The ability to write and organize technical documentation and interface with our project management plan is critical.
Required Knowledge/Skills:
- Solidity, JavaScript
- HTML, CSS
- Strong understanding of smart contracts, data structures, and algorithms.
- Git/ Github
- Linux Sysadmin (bash/zsh, systemd, nginx)
