  • Implementing and enhancing the Java and Node JS-based smart contract services on the Hedera network that expose EVM features
  • Contributing to open source code clients that focus on VM state transitions based on contract bytecode with a goal of new feature support and performance improvements
  • Contributing to the design and management of EVM state processing parallelization
  • Developing various aspects of the Hedera Hashgraph Distributed Ledger Ecosystem
  • Being a strong and proficient hands-on programmer
  • Spending 80% of your time designing, coding, and testing

Qualification Requirements:
