Who Are We?
DV Labs is a remote 30+ member research and software development team with a vision to establish a credibly neutral, trust-minimised infrastructure layer for web3. Previously known as Obol Labs, our work on distributed validators (DVs) boosts the security, resilience, and decentralisation of the Ethereum network.
Our values & Culture
We live by our values - we are: reliable, secure, synergistic, and innovative. These values aren't just a set of ideals, they're the foundation of our culture and the key to our success.
At DV Labs, productivity meets work-life balance in perfect harmony - we promote flexibility, trust, and transparency. We believe in connection beyond screens. Our team stays ahead by attending conferences and gathers annually for an offsite event full of collaboration, teamwork, and fun!
The Products
DV Labs develops and maintains three core products:
Charon, a Golang based middleware client enabling multiple nodes or parties to run validators together, in a fault-tolerant manner.
The DV Launchpad, a web interface for launching and managing Distributed Validators.
Obol Splits, a set of solidity contracts assisting with the formation of Distributed Validators, by allowing the ETH bond and validator rewards to be split across multiple parties.
Supporting the Obol Collective
DV Labs supports the Obol Collective: a community dedicated to scaling Ethereum by strengthening the security, resiliency, and decentralisation of the consensus layer through the development and deployment of distributed validators.
Mission of the role:
Obol’s mission is to decentralise Ethereum by enabling Distributed Validators, to this end, we build dApps, smart contract integrations, SDKs, wallet integrations, and more. We need to monitor the chain, index it, report and alert on it, enable web3 developers to bootstrap Distributed Validators as part of their dapps with it, and more.
The mission of this role is to enable the adoption of DVs across the entire staking community, by building software to make it easy to do so. Facilitating the deployment of solidity contracts, incorporating more wallet types into UIs, helping validator launcher projects support DVs, and developing reference implementations and starter kits.
This role is focused on making Distributed Validators software ubiquitous and community-owned.
Responsibilities
- Design, prototype, and develop solidity integrations facilitating the incorporation of Distributed Validators into Ethereum staking solutions.
- Build tooling and documentation to make deploying DVs programmatically easy for developers.
- Ensure the security of smart contracts by applying standardized libraries, testing, verification, and supporting audits
- Review pull requests and maintain open-source repositories.
- Ensure a high standard of testing for all production software.
- Participate in the development of the DV protocol, a smart contract-based system to allow people to run DVs with one another in a low-trust environment.
Requirements
- At least 3 years of experience in solidity development .
- Familiarity with upcoming Ethereum hardfork and improvement proposals
- Experience in using the Foundry development framework
- Experience deploying Solidity application on mainnet.
- Knowledge of test-driven development and effective software testing in a web3 context.
- Ideal Time zone from GMT-8 to GMT+3.
Nice to have
- Public GitHub contributions to high-quality projects in the Ethereum or broader Web3 space.
- Experience in serving real-time and historical chain data at scale to a front end.
- Experience with wallet integration.
- Experience running an Ethereum validator or node.
- Experience managing a popular open-source package or tool.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation
- Annual Global Off-site to meet all the team.
- Annual opportunity to attend DevCon (or a blockchain conference of choice)
- Generous paid time off
- Budget for equipment
- Budget for training or education
Thank you for your interest. Looking forward to building amazing stuff together!
