Kusama Network requires a developer to write and audit smart contracts for our parachain ecosystem. Use Rust or Substrate to create secure, efficient code supporting decentralized applications.

Kusama Network is pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology, offering a testbed for Polkadot innovations. In this remote contract position, you'll develop smart contracts that enable experimental dApps, from DeFi protocols to NFT marketplaces, all within our fast-paced, canary network.

You'll be responsible for:

• Writing contracts in ink! or similar frameworks.
• Conducting thorough security audits and testing.
• Integrating with Substrate runtime for parachain specifics.
• Documenting code for community developers.
• Optimizing gas usage for cost-effective deployments.

Our environment is collaborative yet autonomous—contribute to open-source repos while aligning with core team goals. Challenges include handling cross-chain messaging and ensuring upgradeability without breaking consensus.

Why Kusama? It's where bold ideas thrive without production risks. Your work could influence real-world Polkadot upgrades. We provide resources like local testnets and bounties for extra experimentation.

Ideal for those with 1-2 years in blockchain; we'll guide on Kusama nuances. Communication happens via Element and GitLab, respecting global time zones.

This 1-year contract immerses you in Web3, building expertise in decentralized systems. Expect to learn about governance, staking mechanics, and runtime modules. Join a community-driven project shaping blockchain's future—your code matters here.
