  • 1+ years of experience writing, testing and deploying smart contracts for this blockchain.
  • Hands-on experience with development tools for this blockchain. Knowledge of how to submit transactions to the blockchain, how to fetch data from it, and how to manage public and private keys. It can be command-line-based or web.
  • Understanding of smart contract security issues and best practices.
  • Knowledge of popular standards for this blockchain, e. g. token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721 and ERC-1155 in the case of Ethereum).
  • Experience in developing and integrating decentralized applications that use smart contracts: whether on the backend or frontend.
  • Basic understanding of cryptography primitives: public/private keys, signing, encryption, hashing.
