About Protocol Labs

Protocol Labs drives breakthroughs in computing to push humanity forward. Protocol Labs is a product-development lab, but behind the protocols and tools we build, behind the research and implementations, are passionate people, teammates and community members. Most teams in the Protocol Labs Network are fully distributed and work remotely around the world. Engineers, researchers, and operators work in the open to improve the internet — humanity's most important technology — as we explore new advances at the intersection of many exciting fields (crypto, networks, distributed systems) and cultures (startups, research, open source, distributed work). We’re looking for a Smart Contracts Engineer who is eager to unravel the world of NFTs and Dapps.  You will build and deploy smart contracts, interact with off-chain data, and design frameworks and standards through which other engineers can build unstoppable, decentralized applications.(i.e. a standardized way for storing NFT metadata).  Work on products like web3.storage and nft.storage, interact with our open source community and contribute to building the tooling that will enable builders, hackers and entrepreneurs to build products that integrate with IPFS and FileCoin.
