Smart Contract Engineer SVM at Veda Tech Labs. Location Information: Remote. . Veda builds vault infrastructure for DeFi at scale. We manage $2B+ in total value locked across 15+ blockchain networks, powering yield strategies for partners including Kraken, Etherfi, and Plasma. Our protocol turns complex multi-chain DeFi positions into simple vault interfaces that institutional and retail users can actually trust.. . We seek individuals with high agency to join us in defining the next phase of DeFi growth and adoption. The ideal candidate takes ownership, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and adapts swiftly to evolving demands.. . The Role. . As an SVM Engineer, you will design, implement, and optimize smart contracts and DeFi protocols on the Solana Virtual Machine. With a special focus on vault architecture and security, you'll be responsible for creating robust financial applications that maintain the highest standards of security while delivering exceptional performance.. . \n. Responsibilities. . . . Design and develop smart contracts and DeFi protocols on the Solana Virtual Machine. . . . Build and optimize secure vault systems for asset management and yield strategies. . . . Collaborate with security teams to ensure protocols are protected against exploits. . . . Integrate with existing DeFi protocols and establish cross-protocol compatibility. . . . Optimize code for Solana's parallel execution environment. . . . Conduct thorough testing and debugging of smart contracts. . . . Research and implement innovative solutions to improve scalability and reduce transaction costs. . . . Stay current with the latest developments in the Solana ecosystem and DeFi space. . . . Contribute to technical documentation and knowledge sharing. . . . You have. . . . Experience building, deploying, and maintaining SVM smart contracts in production. . . . Strong programming experience in Rust. . . . Deep understanding of Solana and low-level SVM concepts. . . . Thorough understanding of the Solana Virtual Machine architecture and its constraints. . . . Experience building DeFi protocols (lending, trading, yield farming, etc.). . . . Knowledge of cryptographic principles and blockchain security best practices. . . . Familiarity with Solana Program Library (SPL) and ecosystem tools. . . . Understanding of vault architectures in DeFi contexts. . . . Experience with on-chain security patterns and common vulnerabilities. . . . Solid grasp of financial concepts as they apply to decentralized finance. . . . Problem-solving attitude and ability to work in a fast-paced environment. . . . Even better if you have. . . . Track record of creating audited and battle-tested smart contracts. . . . Strong systems engineering fundamentals. Youâve built event-driven architectures, data pipelines, caching layers, and API services that handle high throughput.. . . . Youâve seen production at scale. Youâve lived through systems that scaled past their original design. You know what breaks first, what compromises are temporary, and what shortcuts become permanent regret.. . . . Previous experience building vault protocols on Solana or other blockchains. . . . Contributions to open-source Solana projects. . . . Experience with Anchor framework for Solana development. . . . Knowledge of other blockchain platforms (Ethereum, Near, etc.) for cross-chain compatibility. . . . Familiarity with front-end frameworks for dApp development (React, etc.). . . . \n. . Weâre a 35-person team thatâs raised $18M at Series A. The infrastructure works â itâs running in production handling billions in TVL â but it was built for the company we were, not the company weâre becoming. Weâre transitioning from founder-dependent operations to scalable engineering practices. Youâll be a key part of making that real.. . Compensation. . Competitive base salary plus equity. Weâre a Series A company heading toward Series B â early enough that your equity is meaningful, late enough that the business is real.. . Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.. . If you are in the United States, you may also receive access to comprehensive medical, dental, and life insurance in the US. .
