Job description

This role focuses on protocol development. Proceed if you’re a hacker at heart, you can work from earliest R&D to final implementation, and these things are of interest to you: rollups, precompiles, predeploys, proof systems, EVM, real people using what you’ve built.

About Eco: 

Eco exists to maximize money’s value — to reclaim value lost to the current financial system and make sure the onchain economy actually bring us money without borders. We expect better from our money, and we want you to as well. That’s what drives us every day.

We focus our work on contributing to the Eco Protocol and building Bend. The Eco Protocol is for stablecoins and the apps that use them — designed from the ground up for the most capital efficient stablecoin transaction execution across Ethereum, with the simplest possible user experience. Bend is the product we build to demonstrate what the protocol makes possible — to show that we can build a seamless payment experience that anyone can use, with crypto today.

With both the Eco Protocol and Bend, we continue to push the boundary of what crypto enables and just how powerful the user experience can be: a simple send, whether you’re paying someone, providing liquidity, trying to new app, or inviting a friend onchain for the first time.  We’re a team hell-bent on doing our very best work (individually and together), solving hard problems, staying optimistic, and believing money should be better.

If these things excite you, now would be the time to join. Eco is coming.
