Ether.fi - Smart Contract Engineer

Smart Contract Engineer (Cayman Islands, Full Time)

Job Description

About the Company: ether.fi
Location: Grand Cayman

Salary and benefits: $120,000 – $220,000 per annum, plus performance-based incentives, equity and token allocation grants, health, dental and vision insurance, global travel opportunities, four weeks of work from anywhere, and company events.

Position Overview
We’re looking for engineers who want to build & ship, not just fork & integrate. People who get a kick out of solving protocol & blockchain design/implementation problems, hacking on side projects, and building things that actually ship. If you’re the kind of person who reads EIPs for fun, runs the staking validators at home, or has written your own zk circuits just to see how they work, keep reading.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll be part of a tight team that ships real things in production — not just a fork of existing protocols, but end-to-end decentralized systems:

Building the future of finance, DeFi, and bringing it to the real-world use cases
Designing and deploying Solidity smart contracts for staking, vaults, restaking strategies, and DeFi credit card systems.
Building backend systems to automate on-chain operations, secure user flows, and integrate protocol logic.
Creating and iterating on real-world crypto utilities like non-custodial credit cards, yield vaults, and validator management tools.
Engaging in rigorous testing, code reviews, and documentation to uphold high standards of quality and maintainability.

Qualifications and Education Requirements

Strong programming & design skill in Solidity
Have strong fundamentals in software engineering & enjoys problem solvings.
Care about clean & secure smart contract code, and think deeply about edge cases and failure modes.
Thrive in fast-moving environments where specs are open-ended and the best idea wins.
Have hacked on Blockchain/Smart Contract stuff for fun — maybe you’ve built your own smart contracts, audited protocols, or played around with multiple DeFi protocols, MEV bots, etc.
Want to work closely with a highly collaborative, low-ego team who commits for the mission.
At least 4 years industry experience
