Founding Protocol Engineer (Web3 + AI)

Company profile View more jobs: 5

ChaosChain is the accountability protocol for the on-chain AI economy. Today, AI agents are black boxes. It’s impossible to cryptographically verify their actions, which prevents them from being trusted with high-value commercial work. We are solving this.

Our Triple-Verified Stack provides end-to-end cryptographic guarantees for autonomous agent workflows, turning black boxes into transparent, accountable services. We are building the foundational trust layer for the entire autonomous economy, and our live SDK is one of the first to integrate key standards like ERC-8004 and x402.

We are a small, deeply technical team shaping the future of decentralized intelligence, and we are looking for a founding engineer to build it with us.

As our first engineering hire, you will be the technical cornerstone of ChaosChain. You will take our proven architecture and prototypes and lead the charge in building, testing, and deploying a production-ready, mainnet protocol. You will work directly with the founder to translate a powerful vision into secure, elegant, and scalable code.

This isn’t just a coding job; you will be a co-architect of the trust layer for the future of the internet.

Your responsibilities will include:

Core Protocol Development: Design, build, test, and deploy our Solidity smart contracts, including the ChaosCore factory, StudioProxy architecture, and the RewardsDistributor engine. Integrate Cutting-Edge Tech: Implement the off-chain components of our protocol, including communication via XMTP and permanent data storage on IPFS/Arweave for our Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). Ensure Security & Reliability: Write comprehensive tests (unit, integration, and fork tests), participate in security audits, and build robust monitoring and alerting for our production systems. SDK & Tooling: Evolve our public Python and TypeScript SDKs into a world-class developer toolkit, ensuring they’re powerful, easy to use, and drive adoption. Protocol Architecture & Security: Work directly with the founder to shape the protocol’s roadmap, research new primitives (TEEs, ZK), and maintain an obsessive focus on security through rigorous testing and audit preparation. Partner Engineering: Collaborate directly with the engineering teams of our launch partners, like Gaia, EigenCloud and others, to ensure their agent ecosystems can seamlessly onboard and thrive on our platform. Shape the Roadmap: Collaborate directly with the founding team to define technical strategy, prioritize features, and navigate the path from testnet to mainnet and beyond. We are looking for a product-minded protocol engineer who thrives on autonomy and wants to ship groundbreaking work.
