- You’ll develop and build highly scalable, secure, and reliable software that will change the way smart contracts function at a fundamental level
- As an engineer working on CCIP, you will help build an open-sourced standard for developers to quickly build secure cross-chain services and applications
- With a universal messaging interface, smart contracts can communicate across multiple blockchain networks, eliminating the need for developers to write custom code for building chain-specific integrations
- Designing and implementing new features within the CCIP product and contributing towards bringing Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol into production
- Thinking creatively about attack vectors, possible failures, and disaster scenarios, modeling them in reproducible test environments, and developing fixes
- Build automation to manage and deploy smart contracts and other required tooling to manage the production releases
- Build Network Heath Monitoring ie, funnel data to Observability, collect valuable metrics, and set up alerts/dashboards
Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Smart contracts are slated to be the future of transparent, fair, and efficient digital dealings across industries as diverse as lending, real estate, and international trade. Historically, the application of smart contracts was limited to on-chain data, but oracle mechanisms like Chainlink can be used to import off-chain data (like those required for the broader application of smart contracts) onto the chain.
Chainlink Labs' work has marked a significant step forward in the progress of blockchain technologies - and has proven a remarkable success story for the company. It is responsible for the largest global decentralized oracle network in the world, used by hundreds of projects spanning online gaming and cryptocurrency. It has also received its fair share of critique - but blockchain technology at large remains a work in progress, and Chainlink has been quick to develop solutions.
All in all, the benefits of Chainlink’s work look set to become even more pronounced, as smart contracts become more applied across the globe. In late 2022, the company launched the staking of its native token LINK, to increase the security of the protocol and enable the Chainlink system to grow.
