Proven experience writing, deploying and maintaining production-grade smart contracts
Experience working with tools such as Foundry, Hardhat, OpenZeppelin
Comfortable working in fast-paced, iterative product environments
Ability to think from a protocol design perspective—not just implementation

Interest in protocol economics and incentive design
Experience in gas benchmarking and optimization at the opcode level
Background in math, finance, or systems programming
Active contributor to open source or DeFi projects
