Where do you fit in?

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join the UMA protocol team. You, alongside top tier talent, would be working on the core Optimistic Oracle (OO) as well as industry leaders such as oSnap and Oval.

Oracles, MEV, OEV, governance, optimistic solutions are all heavily baked into your day to day work.

• Building backend services: Build highly available backend systems, both serverless and persistent. These systems should have a high degree of correctness, efficiency, and anti-fragility.
