**About Us:**
YieldNest is unlocking the full potential of decentralized ETH yield
generation on top of Eigenlayer. The protocol offers Liquid Restaking Tokens
(LRTs) that tap into the yield opportunities provided by AVSs operating on
Eigenlayer, starting off with the natively restaked ynETH token which brings
to market the most reliable and robust way to boost native Ethereum staking
yield to date.
YieldNest is backed by a decentralized strategy engine and risk management
system to create institutional-grade restaked yield-bearing assets, These
assets are seamlessly integrated into the broader DeFi ecosystem (LRTFI),
rivaling and often surpassing the established LSD market's utility.
Our dynamic team operating globally, embracing remote collaboration across
various time zones, offering flexibility and inclusivity.
* _About The Role: *_
We are looking for an experienced smart contract engineer to help us take over
the re-staking market. This position offers a great chance to develop cutting-

**Requirements**
* Minimum of 3 years experience in developing and deploying production-grade Solidity contracts.
* Comprehensive understanding of Liquid Staking protocols (LSDs) and Ethereum Staking.
* Proficiency in DeFi, encompassing protocol mechanics and smart contract-level integrations with various protocols (lending, yield generation, DEXes).
* Proven track record in optimizing and launching complex smart contract systems on Ethereum mainnet, with significant traction metrics (e.g., high TVL or transaction volume), preferably with a top 20 TVL-ranked protocol.
* Strong attention to detail, ability to think critically about on-chain security, and ability to write clean, maintainable, and reusable code.
* Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams across multiple timezones.
* Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment tools.
