Senior Protocol Engineer

About the Role You will accelerate a protocol roadmap by contributing across the full lifecycle of protocol development: research and mechanism design, Solidity implementation, formal verification, and audit cycles. You will run parallel workstreams on new lending primitives, liquidation improvements, oracle integrations, and fixed-rate loans. You will write and review production Solidity code prioritising correctness, gas efficiency, and simplicity. You will lead medium-to-large protocol initiatives end-to-end and think adversarially about security, identifying attack vectors, edge cases, and failure modes. You will prototype ideas using formal analysis, simulation, or verification and collaborate with other engineers and leadership on architecture and deployment decisions.

Requirements Master's degree in a quantitative field or equivalent depth of knowledge 5+ years of experience in software architectural design and implementation of complex systems 2+ years of experience in blockchain R&D with protocol design and implementation Excellent abstraction capacity to understand and distil complex mechanisms Strong written and verbal communication skills Ability to design elegant systems while shipping pragmatic implementations Comfort operating in fast-changing, ambiguous contexts Strong ownership and autonomy Creativity and critical thinking to challenge designs and propose novel solutions Team-first mindset, low ego, and genuine curiosity about DeFi Humble
