Staff Protocol Engineer EVM at Ava Labs

We are looking for a Staff Engineer to join our Platform Engineering Group. This team is responsible for maintaining and advancing the EVM for the Avalanche blockchain and its ecosystem.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Maintain and advance Avalanche’s EVM-compatible chains.
• Design and implement paradigm-shifting extensions on top of vanilla EVMs, without breaking ecosystem compatibility.
• Here are some specific examples of projects you will contribute to:
• libevm (repo): the EVM as a library; a backwards-compatible fork of geth with injectable configuration directives to minimise merge conflicts.
• Streaming Asynchronous Execution (spec / talk / repo): decoupled consensus and execution, allowing for always-on, concurrent execution without forced dormancy.

WHAT MAKES YOU A GOOD FIT

• A self-starter with insatiable curiosity, combined with being comfortable diving into someone else’s code to understand
