## About the role

As a Protocol Engineer at Daylight, you’ll lead the development of our core smart contracts and decentralized backend systems that underpin our onchain energy network. Our protocol interacts with energy hardware in the real world and tokenizes the value of flexible energy capacity into crypto-native incentives—bridging digital and physical infrastructure through verifiable smart contracts, oracles, and data integrations.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years of experience developing and deploying Solidity smart contracts in production
- Deep familiarity with DeFi protocols—especially stablecoins, lending markets, staking, or yield systems
- Experience with crosschain development (e.g., LayerZero, Wormhole, Axelar)
- Proven experience integrating offchain data via oracles (Chainlink, Chronicle, custom feeds)
- Understanding of EVM security, auditing practices, and gas optimization
- Comfortable writing and reviewing Python code and supporting traditional backend engineering tasks
