Anchor Engineer (Solidity)

Tenbin Labs is looking for a founding smart contract engineer to architect and build the core protocol that powers liquid, composable, and yield-bearing real world assets on-chain. You will be working closely with leadership, our backend team, and our frontend team to create secure, efficient smart contracts that enable seamless integration between on-chain yield generation and off-chain market exposure.

What You Will Do

  • Design and implement the core smart contract architecture for a novel tokenized asset protocol.
  • Build robust, gas-efficient contracts that handle complex financial operations including versioned yield distribution, collateral management, and settlement mechanisms
  • Collaborate with our backend team to ensure seamless integration between on-chain protocol logic and off-chain systems
  • Work closely with auditors and security researchers to ensure the highest standards of protocol security and reliability
  • Mentor and guide other smart contract engineers as we expand our protocol capabilities

Who You Are

  • You have deep expertise in Solidity and EVM-based smart contract development with a track record of shipping production protocols
  • You excel at designing complex financial primitives and understand the nuances of DeFi protocol architecture
  • You are obsessed with security and have experience implementing advanced access controls, emergency mechanisms, and upgrade patterns
  • You can navigate the balance between gas optimization and code readability while maintaining the highest security standards

What You Need To Succeed

  • 4+ years of experience in smart contract development with multiple production deployments
  • Expert-level Solidity skills with deep understanding of EVM internals, gas optimization, and advanced contract patterns
  • Extensive experience with DeFi protocols including yield farming, liquidity provision, and tokenomics design
  • Strong financial knowledge involving complex settlement logic, collateral management, and multi-asset systems
  • Hands-on experience with smart contract testing frameworks (Foundry) and formal verification tools like Certora
  • Deep understanding of protocol security including common attack vectors, access control patterns, and emergency response mechanisms
  • Experience with proxy patterns, upgradeability, and governance mechanisms
  • Experience with oracle integration and price feed security

Nice To Haves

  • Previous experience building tokenized asset protocols
  • Understanding of derivatives and hedging mechanisms
  • Knowledge of MEV protection and transaction ordering considerations
  • Background in traditional finance or commodities markets

What We Offer

  • Competitive cash compensation
  • First-employee level equity
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
