Engineering Manager – Runtime

A forward-thinking non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the Ethereum ecosystem is hiring Engineering Managers. Their mission is to build open-source software that unlocks developer productivity and accelerates the growth of decentralized applications.

The team is developing an Ethereum runtime specifically for developer tools. Initially focused on Hardhat users, the goal is to expand to support third-party tool developers who can integrate our runtime APIs to analyze Solidity code execution. As a first step, we’re rebuilding Hardhat’s Ethereum network simulation in Rust for more efficient Solidity development and testing.
