Protocol General Application

  • What type of work best matches your skillset?
  • What hypothetical title would best convey the unique impact you can have at Protocol? Be specific, for example “Mempool performance engineer”, “Proof compression researcher”, “Cross-chain wallet interop product owner”, etc.
  • If hired and given free reign, what would you do in your first 100 days?

Background Questions

  • We encourage you to respond to at least one of these questions, either by text (inline) or voice/video (linked recording). Breadth or depth are both fine, but please consider that there’s a limited amount of time we can spend on each application review.
  • What’s something you’ve built that you’re proud of? What were the biggest challenges you had to overcome when building it? What did you learn?
  • Do you have experience “working in public”? If so, what do you like & dislike about it? If not, what are you most excited and anxious about?
  • What’s the hardest technical challenge you’ve solved? This doesn't have to be crypto-related: anything where you had to understand something complex and put it in practice.
  • What’s the coolest thing you’ve done onchain recently?
  • From the initial idea stage all the way to deploying a network upgrade, which parts of the “L1 R&D funnel” do you think currently work the best and worse? Why?
  • If you could change one thing about Ethereum, what would it be and why?
