Job Description
Summary
Mission:
Fortify the frontier of decentralization. Be the final guardrail protecting users and protocols from catastrophic failures by stress-testing smart contracts, dApps, and Web3 infrastructure under battle-ready conditions.
Core Impact Areas:
- Protocol Armoring: Design chaos engineering scenarios simulating $10M+ exploits (flash loan attacks, governance takeovers, oracle failures) for R Ventures’ DeFi/NFT portfolio.
- Red Team Warfare: Execute adversarial tests on live mainnet forks using Foundry/Hardhat – break systems before blackhats do.
- Decentralized Test Nets: Build automated frameworks for cross-chain compatibility (EVM, Solana, Cosmos) and incentive-based bug bounties.
- Founder Shield: Embed with founding teams pre-launch to eliminate single points of failure in tokenomics, upgradeability, and key management.
Non-Negotiables:
✅
Daily Web3 User:
You interact with dApps daily – from swapping on Uniswap to stress-testing new protocols. Your wallet shows battle scars.
✅ 3+ years testing smart contracts/dApps with public audit contributions (e.g., Code4rena, Sherlock).
✅ Tool Mastery: Foundry/Forge, Tenderly, Slither, Ganache + custom fuzzers.
✅ Exploit Literacy: Can diagram reentrancy, front-running, and governance attack vectors on a napkin.
✅ Survival Instinct: Thrives in the "move fast and don’t break things" paradox of early-stage Web3.
