About the team
The EDR team builds an Ethereum runtime designed for developer tooling. Our users are initially the Hardhat users and, later on, third-party tooling developers integrating our runtime APIs to analyze Solidity code execution for their own users. In its first iteration, EDR is a complete Rust rewrite of Hardhat’s Ethereum network simulation used for Solidity development and testing before production deployment. We aim to build a reusable runtime library to empower the Ethereum ecosystem to build better code execution analysis tools.
This is a fully-remote role, and we’re open to candidates applying within UTC+2 to UTC-4 timezones.

-
Drive Successful Product Delivery:
- Take ownership of projects, ensuring on-time delivery with the desired features and quality.
- Work with the team to define MVPs, set milestones, and assess project feasibility.
- Manage project scope by prioritizing tasks, identifying dependencies, and mitigating risks.
- Collaborate with product managers to translate user needs and market trends into a technical roadmap.
