About Common Prefix
Common Prefix is a science-first blockchain consulting company. Our vision is to make blockchains usable for mainstream users and everyday people – paying at the supermarket, remittances, moving money across borders, saving, investing – and solving the real problems of usability, scalability, and interoperability that come with it. We're a 30-person team, half scientists (cryptographer PhDs, post-docs, and professors) from renowned universities, half engineers with long web2 experience. A lot of our field is broken and we're trying to make a small contribution in fixing it, by introducing provable security and proper engineering practices across the board.
Job Description
We’re hiring Senior Software Engineers! We’re a mix of scientists (professors, PhDs, and postdocs from Stanford, Imperial, ETH Zürich, and Edinburgh) and engineers with decades in hedge funds, TradFi, and Web3. We lead Axelar, the network that moves assets and messages between blockchains, and work with teams like Ripple, Mysten Labs, Flashbots, and Celestia. We’re looking for engineers with 5+ years of experience and a strong track record of shipping software to production. You’ve owned core parts of what you built, not just the edges, and you like working from first principles. No blockchain experience needed. We mostly use Rust, Go, and TypeScript. You can work remotely or from our office in Athens. On top of that, you get unlimited time off, a budget for your laptop and home office, a yearly offsite somewhere cool, and 2 to 3 conferences a year. Most of what we build is open source: https://github.com/commonprefix Role: https://commonprefix.notion.site/seniorswe-folk Apply (no recruiters): https://commonprefix.notion.site/2b7bf672de828051b53cdd37811f0d0a Note: This posting is for a single Senior Software Engineer role.Remote
