Staff Go Engineer, Thesis*

• At least 3 years experience in a staff role or at least 5 years successful experience as a full stack engineer in a high performance environment
• Experience executing against all requirements listed under “Responsibilities”
• Strong knowledge of Go, including familiarity with standard Go tooling and with effective Go guidelines
• Existing understanding of and experience with Solidity-Go bindings and calling Solidity contracts from Go

Desirable

• Thesis is seeking a Go Engineer (Staff leve) to seed one of our upcoming projects’ node/bridge development, focused on writing Go code and deeply interfacing with Solidity/EVM functionality
• We are particularly interested in speaking to engineers who are ready to take on tech lead responsibilities for a small team in coming months
• Staff engineers at Thesis have a passion for the inner-workings of technology inside and outside of their role on the team
• This role focuses on complex problem solving, security, supportability, and a pragmatic approach to implementation
• You will be expected to quickly understand the strengths and weaknesses of existing code you are working on and carefully and pragmatically choose what needs changing now and what should be changed over time to hit timelines and successfully deliver secure, stable, working software
• We want engineers who are comfortable communicating and teaching more junior engineers, and who can clearly articulate tradeoffs between decisions
• Stay connected to best practices in the engineering and web3 communities
• Always prioritize security and communicate your approach to keeping the system secure
• Understand and respect Chesterton’s Fence, approaching problems with the intent to perturb existing systems as little as possible until they are well understood
• Navigate ambiguity by creating structure when it is lacking
• Document your thinking so others can understand your approach
• Work to identify issues before they hit production through a rigorous testing practice
• Identify and put users first across the full spectrum of your work—from command-line parameters to APIs
• Evangelize simplicity, supportability, and ease of use
• Tech leads at Thesis set the pace and help perpetuate the Thesis engineering culture
• As a Tech lead, you will be helping the team systematically adhere to engineering best practices while acting as a mentor to less experienced teammates
• This mentorship requires empathy and patience, establishing a sense that no question is a bad question to foster a learning centric environment
• Tech leads work with engineering leadership to make suggestions for team configurations and identify blind spots
• Engineering leadership and project leads rely on tech leads for insights into process efficacy, team morale, and spotting potential burnout
• In projects that don’t have an explicit product function, tech leads may take on the role of structuring and running sprint plannings and sprint reviews
