THE ROLE: SENIOR COSMOS SDK AND SMART CONTRACT DEVELOPER

We're seeking a highly skilled Blockchain Developer with a deep understanding of Golang and the Cosmos SDK to join our team as a part-time Co-Founder. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with experienced, seasoned co-founders who have spearheaded numerous successful national and international ventures. Your expertise will play a pivotal role in building and evolving our revolutionary blockchain-powered platform.

• Smart Contract Development:

  • Write, test, and deploy smart contracts that perform decentralized, autonomous functions on the Cosmos network.
  • Build contracts for various dApp functionalities such as token transfers, staking, voting, and governance.

• Custom Chain Development:

  • Work on modules or custom applications within the Cosmos SDK, potentially building a chain from scratch or adding to an existing Cosmos-based chain.
  • Develop and integrate Cosmos SDK modules to enable specific functionality, such as DeFi services, cross-chain token swaps, or NFT platforms.

• Blockchain Maintenance and Optimization:

  • Ensure that the deployed contracts and applications operate smoothly, debugging, and troubleshooting any issues that arise.
  • Optimize the code for performance, cost, and security.

• Interoperability Management:

  • Utilize IBC to create interoperable smart contracts, enabling communication and token transfer across other IBC-compatible blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem.
  • Contribute to bridging and compatibility solutions to allow assets and information to flow seamlessly.

• Security Audits and Reviews:

  • Conduct internal reviews and external audits of smart contracts, ensuring they are resilient to security vulnerabilities and adhere to best practices.
  • Implement necessary patches and updates in response to identified vulnerabilities.

• Documentation and Community Support:

  • Document the code and processes for both internal and external developer reference, contributing to the wider Cosmos developer community.
  • Engage with the community to provide support and guidance, potentially helping other developers on forums or collaborating on open-source projects.

• Collaboration:

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including front-end developers, designers, and product managers, to ensure dApps are aligned with business requirements and user needs.

Qualifications:

• Programming Skills:

  • CosmWasm: Knowledge of CosmWasm (Cosmos WebAssembly), the smart contract framework for Cosmos, is essential. This framework allows developers to write contracts in Rust, so proficiency in Rust is crucial.
  • Other Languages: Familiarity with languages such as Golang (since Cosmos SDK is built in Golang), JavaScript, and potentially TypeScript for front-end integration.

• Cosmos SDK Proficiency:

  • Deep understanding of Cosmos SDK architecture, as it’s the primary toolkit for building custom blockchains and applications within Cosmos.
  • Experience with modules like staking, governance, IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication), and other Cosmos-specific modules.

• Blockchain and Distributed Systems Knowledge:

  • Strong grasp of blockchain principles, consensus mechanisms (Tendermint, specifically for Cosmos), cryptographic concepts, and distributed ledger technologies.
  • Familiarity with Cosmos's IBC protocol, which is essential for enabling interoperability across different blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem.

• Smart Contract Development:

  • Experience in creating, testing, and deploying smart contracts on testnet and mainnet environments.
  • Ability to use testing frameworks and blockchain development tools (e.g., Docker, Jenkins) to simulate and validate contract functionality.

• Tooling and Ecosystem Knowledge:

  • Proficiency with tools like Starport (Cosmos’s app development framework), Tendermint Core, and Keplr (a wallet for Cosmos-based chains).
  • Understanding of version control (Git), continuous integration (CI), and DevOps tools related to blockchain deployment.

• Security and Auditing Skills:

  • Smart contract developers must ensure that contracts are secure and free of vulnerabilities, which could lead to exploits.
  • Familiarity with security best practices and common vulnerabilities like reentrancy attacks, integer overflows, and front-running.

• EVM Compatibility (if applicable):

  • Some Cosmos-based chains integrate EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatibility, so experience with Solidity could be helpful in such environments.

Compensation:

• Equity Ownership of Launch Legends, Autheo and WFO
• Ample Layer-1 Blockchain Token Allocation
• After Public Token Sale (Anticipated January 2025), salaried compensation
