Compensation & Growth Path
This is a part timeequity / token-based cofounder opportunity. You will receive equity in Launch Legends Autheo and the WFO Creator Network along with token allocations in the Autheo blockchain. We have already completed an initial financing round to support infrastructure and marketing and are currently in discussions with VCs and crypto investors to fund expansion and salaries. Salaried compensation is expected to begin within 4 to 5 months following ournode tokensales or funding.
Role: Senior DeFi Engineer - Primitives (with Blockchain Experience)
Autheo is building a sovereign data platform unifying petabyte-scale pipelines federated lakehouse analytics and 200GB/s streaming with 25μs query latencies unbreakable encryption and GDPR/HIPAA compliance.
As a part-time Senior DeFi Engineer - Primitives in an equity-based cofounder role youll design core DeFi mechanisms using Solidity Rust and Polkadot JAM powering adaptive AMMs perpetuals and zk-enabled lending across DePIN networks. This role is critical to enabling post-quantum security and cross-chain liquidity at scale. If youre passionate about DeFi primitives and Web3 join us to shape the financial layer for the next trillion-dollar decentralized economy.
Key Responsibilities:
1. DeFi Primitive Design
* Architect AMMs perpetuals options and synthetics for sub-microsecond execution.
* Implement tokenomics with dynamic governance staking and inflation/deflation models.
* Build zk-SNARK lending systems resistant to oracle attacks and front-running.
2. Scalability & Optimization
* Optimize contracts for gas efficiency and parallel execution in sharded environments.
* Integrate RWA tokenization with yield farming and cross-chain bridges.
* Ensure 50B TPS scalability with Patricia Trie state management.
3. Security & Verification
* Embed post-quantum cryptography for unbreakable DeFi primitives.
* Conduct formal verification using TLA for economic incentive alignment.
* Mitigate risks with smart contract audits and MEV-resistant designs.
4. Interoperability
* Design primitives compatible with Ethereum Solana Polkadot and Cosmos.
* Implement high-throughput bridges for seamless liquidity routing.
* Integrate oracles like Chainlink for tamper-proof DeFi data feeds.
5. Developer Ecosystem
* Deliver SDKs (Solidity/Rust) for rapid primitive deployment.
* Build testing sandboxes for DeFi simulation in <5 minutes.
* Contribute open-source libraries for adaptive liquidity curves.
6. Leadership & Innovation
* Collaborate with data AI/ML and infrastructure teams for integration.
* Lead DeFi primitive reviews for security and performance.
* Mentor engineers and pioneer novel mechanisms like AI-driven risk engines.
* Publish at Devcon/Token2049 on DeFi innovations.
Qualifications:
Required:
* Bachelors/Masters in Computer Science Engineering or equivalent.
* 7 years in DeFi primitive engineering with launches of AMMs or lending protocols.
* Expertise in Solidity Rust zk-SNARKs and Polkadot JAM/Hyperledger.
* Proficiency in tokenomics cross-chain protocols and cryptographic proofs.
Preferred:
* Background in Polkadot JAM contributions or RWA tokenization.
* Experience with open-source DeFi tooling or multi-chain bridges.
* Contributions to Uniswap/Aave standards or patents.
Soft Skills:
* Precision in primitive design and economic modeling.
* Strong technical communication and collaboration.
* Passion for innovative Web3 DeFi ecosystems.
Deliverables (90 Days):
* Advanced AMM primitive prototype with 5M TPS and zk-privacy.
* Tokenomics model for RWA yield farming with TLA verification.
* Integrated cross-chain bridge for DeFi liquidity aggregation.
* Post-quantum security layer for lending protocols.
* SDKs for zero-config primitive operations.
* Open-source DeFi library driving 100 integrations.
* Devcon 2026 presentation on DeFi primitive leadership.
