Blockchain Developer Job Rockville area,Maryland USA,IT/Tech

Company Description:

We’re a forward-thinking startup focused on creating atransparent, community-driven blockchain protocol designed to solve real-world problems. Our mission is to build a decentralized ecosystem that prioritizes fairness, security, and long-term value for users—not quick profits. We’re seeking a developer who shares our commitment to ethical innovation and wants to pioneer the next generation of blockchain infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

Design and build a decentralized blockchain protocol from scratch, including consensus mechanisms (e.g., Proof-of-Stake, DAG), network architecture, and governance models.

Develop and deploy native tokens or coins with fair tokenomics (e.g., equitable distribution, anti-whale mechanisms, locked liquidity).

Ensure security-first practices:
Conduct audits, implement cryptographic safeguards, and stress-test the network against exploits.

Work with cross-functional teams to integrate decentralized applications (dApps) and developer tools into the ecosystem.

Engage with the community:
Document progress transparently, contribute to open-source repositories, and participate in AMAs/forums.

Optimize for scalability, interoperability, and low transaction costs (e.g., Layer 2 solutions, sharding).

Requirements:

Experience:

3+ years in blockchain protocol development (not just smart contracts).

Proficiency in Rust, Go, or C++ (critical for protocol-level coding).

Familiarity with Solidity for EVM-compatible smart contracts.

Technical Skills:

Deep understanding of consensus algorithms, peer-to-peer networking, and cryptography (e.g., zero-knowledge proofs).

Experience with token standards (ERC-20, SPL) and cross-chain interoperability (IBC, bridges).

Knowledge of DeFi primitives (staking, liquidity pools) and governance frameworks (DAOs).

Mindset:

Passion for ethical Web3 practices (no pump-and-dump schemes, rug pulls, or misleading marketing).

Commitment to open-source development and public accountability.

Strong problem-solving skills to balance decentralization, security, and scalability.

Preferred Qualifications:

Contributions to open-source blockchain projects (Git Hub profile required).

Experience with third-party audits (e.g., Certi

K, Trail of Bits) and bug-bounty programs.

Understanding of regulatory compliance (e.g., Howey Test, MiCA) for token design.

Familiarity with decentralized governance models (e.g., on-chain voting, token-curated registries).

Why Join Us?

Build a blockchain from the ground up with a team that values transparency and innovation.

Shape a protocol that prioritizes community ownership and avoids centralized control.

Competitive salary + equity/token allocation (with fair vesting schedules).

Work remotely with flexible hours, but a strong emphasis on collaboration and accountability.

How to Apply:

Submit your resume, Git Hub profile, and a brief note explaining:

Your vision for a fair and sustainable blockchain ecosystem.

A technical challenge you faced in past blockchain projects and how you resolved it.

Key Ethical Guardrails (Publicly Stated):

No anonymous team:
Founders and developers will doxx themselves post-funding.

Liquidity locks:
All LP tokens will be locked via Unicrypt or Team Finance.

Transparent roadmap:
Milestones and budgets will be published openly.
