Join the Synthetix Core Contributor community as a senior full stack engineer and help build the future of DeFi.

Synthetix is an open source derivatives liquidity protocol on Ethereum, Optimism, and Base, which enables collateral onchain to back stablecoins, spot synthetic assets, perpetual futures markets, and more. Synthetix Perps V2 has generated over $50B in volume and Synthetix Perps V3 is rapidly scaling with cross-chain deployments and increased activity.

Synthetix has a thriving ecosystem of projects that are integrated with the protocol, building bots, front-end applications, and smart contracts/protocols that integrate with Synthetix markets and liquidity functionality. This includes Kwenta, Polynomial, Infinex, dHedge, Thales, Overtime, and many more. Synthetix is interested in adding more developer relations experts to support ecosystem partners and community members in building successful projects.

We’re a small team driven by startup values - we iterate fast, test often, and automate wherever possible. We have some of the most complex dApps on Ethereum powering an ecosystem of other protocols and are constantly building new interfaces and making improvements to existing assets.
