Smart Contract Engineer

Agora is transforming how communities collaborate by building intuitive tools for seamless onchain governance. Trusted by leading protocols such as Optimism, ENS, and Uniswap, Agora's governance platform is integral to critical protocol upgrades, ecosystem funding, and decentralized stewardship. We build software for DAOs, protocols and onchain communities of all shapes and sizes. From token design, to token launches, to core governance and delegation and even capital allocation. We want to help drive and shape growth of protocols big and small through the power onchain governance and distributed, permissionless systems. We are looking for an exceptional smart contract engineer to advance our governance smart contracts. You'll collaborate closely with product, engineering, and client-facing teams to deliver scalable solutions that support key crypto protocols. What You'll Do: Write great code: Write clear, maintainable, and secure smart contract code. Design and architect solutions: Architect modular and upgradeable smart contract solutions for Agora Governor, tackling complex governance challenges on both EVM and non-EVM chains. Be security minded first: Lead rigorous testing, auditing, and penetration tests to ensure bulletproof contracts. Design with earnest partners: Partner with leading clients (Optimism, ENS, Uniswap, Scroll) to design governance features aligned with their unique ecosystems. Stay hungry and foolish: Stay ahead with emerging tech like MACI private voting, ZK-proofs (e.g., Succinct's SP1 zkVM), WorldID integration, and novel governance structures. Some projects you will work on in 2025: Private Voting: Implement advanced privacy solutions like Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure (MACI), secure TEE compute and other privacy first solutions into new and existing governance systems. zkProofs and governance: Integrate cutting-edge zk systems (e.g., Succinct's SP1 zkVM) to enhance scalability and privacy and unlock new features not before possible. Cross chain governance and execution: Many protocols live and govern on multiple chains, be at the cutting edge designing solutions for these unique and complex workflows. Identity: Work with identity verification systems such as WorldID for secure, verified governance participation. Advanced staking and participation models: Work on veTokens and other staking incentive based governance systems. Modular governance: Build and ship modular components for the next generation of governance platforms.
