## Role

In summary, this role intersects economics, finance, public policy, and technology. It benefits from an interest and passion in mathematics, game theory, and psychology.

This role will be responsible for financial and economic leadership in a blockchain-based economy.  Analytic, communicative, and  financial skills are necessary. We can teach the blockchain part, but competitive candidates will understand  concepts like staking, bonding curves, have a basic understanding of smart contract platforms and consensus algorithms.

## Details

This role would be responsible for:

- Modeling and communicating the token economics of our platform, and also produce research into economic strategy based on the fast-paced development of our industry.

- Additionally, they would interface with our community of users, offering compelling suggestions and interaction on recommendations.

- Providing financial oversight of our blockchain’s public treasury, as well as our DAO’s (think of it like a foundation entity) treasury. This will include asset management recommendations.

- Work cross-functionally with legal thinkers, operational leads to produce general and nonspecific guidance to agents in our ecosystem.

## Role

The blockchain engineer role is a full-stack devops role. This engineer is responsible for learning about all interoperability projects actively being pursued on Edgeware, tracking progress of their dependencies in other open source projects, and integrating &amp; developing solutions on Edgeware that extends Edgeware&#39;s capabilities to other networks and ecosystems.

It is assumed that this engineer will also write articles about the state of interoperabililty technology on Edgeware, regularly updating the community with progress that is happening with related grant projects, Edgeware Alpha teams, as well as anything internal.

This engineer (whether now or through training):

- Should be able to run Edgeware blockchain and its testnets under various configurations.
- Should be able to launch new technology on development networks and test such changes.
- Should be able to launch and test upgrades, and diagnose issues and ways of solving them.
- Should be able to actively monitor interoperability projects in the ecosystem and write regular updates internally and for the broader community.
- Should be able to develop technical solutions for using Edgeware more easily with tutorials on their usage.
- Have a senior-developer understanding of Rust

## Details

The main areas of interest for this engineer are:

- Maintenance of Edgeware node upgrades and migrations.
- Launching testnets and integrating/using new pallets.
- Launching bridges from Edgeware to other networks
- Developing technical tooling around ones areas of ownership.
    - Writing scripts for running testnets, integrating pallets, and running bridges
    - Using node analytics built into Edgeware node to monitor node infrastructure
    - Setting up cloud infrastructure, VPS, etc. to manage full/validating nodes
- Writing detailed documents about one&#39;s own progress, the state of testnets/bridges, and the state of other interoperability projects in the space.
- Tracking parachain status, integrating cumulus, and detailing the parachain bonding process

## Role

The WASM/EVM contracts engineer role is a full-stack blockchain role. It involves familiarising oneself with two different smart contracting environments and becoming proficient in developing, deploying, and communicating the &quot;how-to&quot;s of smart contracts in both EVM and WASM environments to developers within the Edgeware community. This engineer should become proficient in both using the web3js and PolkadotJS API for interacting with contracts on each respective contracting engine as well as learn the internals of each contracting engine to diagnose and determine low-level configurations for these systems.

This engineer (whether now or through training):

- Should be able to run Edgeware blockchain and its testnets under various configurations.
- Should be able to integrate pallet-evm, pallet-ethereum, and Frontier into a runtime and run local testnets.
- Should be able to actively monitor changes to upstream contracts and EVM modules, Frontier, and any new projects that spin up around using EVM/WASM contracts on Substrate.
- Should be able to develop technical solutions and tooling around EVM/WASM contracts, through integrating popular ethereum libraries with Edgeware or scripts for improving the developer experience of either contracting engine.
- Should be able to answer high-level research questions and improve the configuration of both modules (gas prices, economics, etc.)

## Details

The main areas of interest for this engineer are:

- Track progress in both EVM/WASM work on Substrate and other projects and compile reports around large changes in their functionality.
- Develop demos &amp; tutorials for popular and interesting smart contracts in both EVM and WASM contracting languages.
- Propose and implement tooling for improving the developer experience.
- Benchmark contracts on both contracting engines and write reports around the results.
    - Reason about gas costs, storage costs, and the differences that manifest when deploying roughly similar contracts on each contracting engine
- Research concepts and improvements to these contracting engines, around state rent, upgradability, and more.
    - Write articles around these improvements.
